Our Services

At Lifeshine Counselling, we offer a range of services to cater to our clients' unique needs. Our primary services include:

Individual Counselling

Our individual counselling services help clients identify and clarify difficult or uncomfortable situations in life. In a safe and confidential environment, we provide a space to gather new tools towards resolution and help clients understand themselves better, including their thoughts, feelings, and actions. We work with clients to develop coping strategies and skills to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.

Couples Counselling

Our couples counselling services focus on helping relationships thrive. We work with couples to identify and address issues, improve communication, and develop healthier relationship dynamics. Our goal is to strengthen relationships and build healthier relationships that are based on mutual love, respect, and trust.

Addiction & Recovery

Our addiction and recovery services support individuals and families affected by substance abuse and addiction. We provide a safe and non-judgmental space to address addiction, develop coping strategies, and work towards recovery. We also work with families affected by someone else's addiction to provide support and guidance.

Our codependency support services are designed to help individuals recognize the signs and patterns of codependency. We work with clients to identify and challenge unhealthy behaviors, develop self-compassion, and build healthier relationships.
