Individual Therapy

Counselling and therapy can help you get back to yourself.

You’ve lost your way. You’re not the parent or partner you want to be. Reactions come quickly and regrets soon follow. Solutions aren’t coming as easily as they used to, and you alternate between anxiousness and despair. Some days you feel okay and others, like today, you admit that maybe you need a different approach. It feels as if you’ve lost hope and faith in your ability to cope with the many stresses that have come your way—a new child, a relationship conflict, a big transition, a recent loss… And so, you find yourself here, contemplating therapy. You’ve come to the right place.

In individual therapy, we will work closely together to unravel the complexities and pressures you’re experiencing. Our goal is to help you make sense of the mess, slow things down, and create space for you to breathe. We’ll take a closer look at what’s going on in your life right now, and will more deeply explore the past experiences that are influencing your current state. This process might involve identifying and addressing issues that no longer serve you, clearing away the emotional baggage that has been holding you back.

Together, we will aim to reorient you, fostering healing so you can reconnect with yourself and your passions—whether in your role as a parent, your relationship with your partner, or simply finding joy in life again. One of our primary objectives will be to help you develop a renewed sense of confidence and calm. We will work on building insights and equipping you with practical tools that can help you navigate your future more effectively. And if it makes sense, we also offer couple therapy to address relationship concerns together with your partner. This can be done in conjunction with or subsequent to individual counselling.

Counselling can provide a safe and supportive space where you can openly discuss your concerns and work through your difficulties. Whether you’re struggling with feelings of being overwhelmed, lost, or stuck, or simply seeking a new path forward, therapy can offer the guidance and tools you need to make meaningful progress. We’ll work together to build a foundation of understanding and healing that supports your overall well-being and personal growth.

Our commitment is to approach our sessions with warmth, compassion, and a genuine understanding of your struggles. We aim to offer a fresh, encouraging perspective that comes from both personal and professional experience. It will be a privilege to walk alongside you on this journey towards healing and self-discovery.

In our work together, we can address issues such as anxiety and depression, work stress, post-partum difficulties, relationship conflicts, trauma, sexuality, grief and loss, spirituality, and emotional regulation. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. At Insight Counselling Elgin, we are here to support you through the process, helping you find clarity and resilience. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. By taking this step, you are investing in yourself and your future. If you’re ready to explore how individual counselling can benefit you, please reach out. We look forward to helping you in reclaim your sense of self and navigating the challenges you face with renewed hope and confidence. We are here to help.
