Individual Counselling

Individual Counselling Services: Find Support and Solutions for Your Mental Health Needs

At the Calgary Couples Counselling Centre, since we specialize in couples counselling, we are often asked if we provide individual counselling as well. We absolutely do. While all of our therapists have an interest, special training and expertise in working with couples, each of our therapists has also been handpicked because they have additional interest and experience in other areas of mental health that complement couples work, such as trauma recovery, self-esteem, men’s issues, or parenting. When working with couples we find it is important to be knowledgeable about personal issues that impact relationships and that are impacted by relationships.

We recognize that relationship health has a significant impact on individual mental health, and vice versa. That’s why we also offer solo counselling for those who may be struggling with personal issues that are affecting their overall well-being. Our experienced therapists can help you address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. We use evidence-based techniques to help you develop coping strategies and build resilience, so you can live a happier, healthier life.

Our Approach

Our individual counselling services aim to help you identify the root cause of problems, establish concrete goals and objectives, develop solutions or coping strategies, and work towards your goals. We use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR (for trauma recovery), Mindfulness-based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy among others, to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
