Counselling for women in Welland, Ontario

If you're a woman in Welland carrying more than your share—emotionally, mentally, and physically—you’re not alone. Life can feel like too much and not enough all at once. Through online, trauma-informed counselling, I help women like you process the overwhelm, reconnect with yourself, and feel more grounded in your life and relationships.

How it works

01

Book an intro call

Let’s start with a conversation. No pressure—just space to talk about what’s going on, what’s not working, and how you want to feel. This is your time, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.

02

Personalized, one-on-one sessions

This isn’t cookie-cutter therapy. We’ll focus on what’s real for you—whether that’s late-night anxiety, mom guilt that won’t quit, or the exhaustion of holding everything together. I meet you where you are and help you find steady ground.

03

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques

I use an integrative blend of approaches like CBT, ACT, and somatic-based practices to help you shift your internal dialogue, calm your nervous system, and make space for the version of you that’s been buried under the pressure.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah – whenever I have needed her assistance she is always willing to help. Sarah is a dedicated instructor who is very committed to her student's success. In my role as Education Assistant I interact daily with the student population and more than once I have been told by Sarah's students how much they value not only what she has taught them but how much they appreciate the role she has played in developing them as a career professional.

Frequently asked questions

  • What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?

     I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel your session. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a fee.

  • What can I expect during my first session?

    For the free consultation, I will invite you to share your concerns, what your goals are and any questions you have for me.


    For the initial first session, we will spend time reviewing the intake forms you completed to better understand your needs and goals.


  • Confidentiality

    The counselling relationship is built on trust between counsellor and client, therefore anything that is shared in session will remain confidential. There are some limits to this, which are:

    1. If I believe you or another is at risk of imminent harm: where possible I would let you know and discuss it with you, and my supervisor, before taking appropriate action.


    2. If a Court Order is received demanding records.


    3. For the purposes of professional supervision and education. I can ensure confidentiality in face-to-face communication, but cannot ensure that electronic communication by telephone or internet will be confidential. Please be aware of this if you chose to communicate through e-mail, text, social media, Skype, Zoom or any similar format
