Counselling and Therapy in Westmount

Counselling and Therapy in Westmount, Montreal

If you are feeling overwhelmed, caught in persistent patterns, or not functioning as you would like, therapy can help. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor and member of the Canadian Psychotherapy and Counselling Association, I provide confidential, evidence-based support for adults through my Westmount office and online across Montreal.

Is Therapy Right for You

• Recurring patterns that are difficult to shift
• Stress, anxiety, or low mood affecting sleep, work, or relationships
• Difficulty slowing down, relaxing, or staying present
• Tension or conflict in personal or professional relationships

These concerns are common. Many people seek therapy when symptoms begin to interfere with daily functioning or overall wellbeing.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a confidential, structured, and clinically informed space to examine how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact. Together, we focus on practical change at a pace that is sustainable for you. Our work may include:

• Clarifying treatment goals and identifying what you want to shift
• Understanding how past experiences shape current responses
• Recognising patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or reactivity
• Developing tools to manage stress and improve emotional regulation
• Strengthening communication, boundaries, and decision making

The aim of counselling is not to remove all discomfort but to help you respond to it in a more grounded and capable way.

Issues I Commonly Work With

Emotional and cognitive concerns

• Anxiety, worry, and overthinking
• Low mood and depression
• Anger, irritability, and frustration
• Self-criticism, shame, and reduced self-worth
• Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or uncertain about next steps
• Men’s mental health concerns, including difficulty expressing emotion, pornography addiction, isolation, and stress related to work or family roles

Life and relationship challenges

• Work-related stress and burnout
• Relationship strain and family conflict
• Major life transitions
• Grief, loss, or identity changes
• Disconnection from yourself or others

What to Expect in Therapy

• Initial conversation: We review your concerns, history, and goals to guide the treatment plan.
• Early sessions: We identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that influence your functioning.
• Ongoing work: Sessions focus on current challenges while supporting longer term change.
• Skill development: You learn strategies to improve emotional regulation, clarity, and day-to-day functioning.
• Review and adjustment: We periodically evaluate progress and refine the approach as needed.

My office is located at 4060 Saint-Catherine Street West. It is a short walk from Atwater metro and close to Alexis Nihon shopping mall. Metered street parking and mall parking are available.
