Individual Counselling
Too busy to see a counsellor? or Too stressed or anxious to go out in public? If you experience any of this but understand the value and benefit of seeking counselling, your next best option is counselling delivered over the phone or video call. Select a counsellor with whom you would like to begin online/phone counselling.
Couples Counselling
A counsellor serves as an intermediary party as you and your partner learn new strategies for communicating and apply or practice them in real-life situations.
Family Counselling
Family members can sometimes feel like they are caught in an endless cycle of pursuing and/or withdrawing from their loved ones. Counsellors help you and your family members to connect with each other.
Intern Therapist (Reduced Rates)
As mental health professionals we recognize that there are barriers to accessing counselling services. Not everyone has access to insurance or can afford therapy. But mental health issues can affect anyone from every walk of life. Our team of interns are able to offer evidence-based therapy at an affordable cost. Also, they do their clinical work under the direct supervision of Hari Chettiar.
By offering reduced rates, we hope to make counselling more accessible to the clients who may otherwise not reached out to a therapist. We hope that these clients can receive the counselling they deserve while helping to put all of our intern’s knowledge into practice.
Free Initial Virtual Consultation
We're happy to offer a free 15 minute free initial consultation that we offer virtually.

Shevaun’s Profile:
I love LOVE. The kind that steps up and blazes its way through, measured not by words spoken, but action taken. The kind that responds instantly, audaciously, soulfully to those close to us but even sweeter, to perfect strangers. The kind that bridges any perceived divide in our shared humanity.
Second to loving LOVE, I love timing. Circumstance. Non-coincidences. When things happen, how they happen, the explosion of well laid plans, and the surprise and delight of surrender.
But more than anything, I LIVE to witness the exquisite moment of the return to self. For it is in this suspended state when fear is swallowed whole, when we choose to love ourselves with the same ferocity we love others, when our slow burning ember of potential ignites into wildfire. It is here, we begin our work with open-hearted hope for another day, and a different world.
Anchored in the knowledge that you are the author of your life, and insatiably curious about the narrative you’ve written, I’m committed to uncovering alongside you what past experiences continue to influence how you think, feel, and act today.
Awakening new awareness requires intentionality and authenticity from us both. Honoured to show up humble, vulnerable, honest, and human, I will not invite you to go anywhere I have not gone myself. Together, we can befriend adversity, the golden portal to: self-discovery, healing, inner strength, exponential growth, and abundant joy.
Shevaun graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Master of Arts in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy, from Queen’s University with a Bachelor of Education, and from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Bachelor of Arts in English.
