Sometimes "I'm fine" is just the easiest answer.
Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally tired, stuck in your head, grieving, or simply not quite like yourself lately. Maybe you say your fine but don't really feel that way.
Counselling can be a place to talk honestly about what's going on, sort through what's been building, and figure out what might help.

When Life Feels Overwhelming
A place where you don't have to say "I'm fine."
Sometimes you're getting through the day, going to work, looking after everyone else, and doing what needs to be done—but something still doesn't feel quite right.
Maybe you're overthinking everything. A relationship is weighing on you. You're grieving. You're carrying more than people realize. Or you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong.
You don't need to arrive with the right words or know exactly what you want to work on. We can start with what's happening now and sort through it together.
Ways to Work Together
Individual Counselling
One-to-one support for things like anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relationships, life transitions, overthinking, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Single sessions are also available when you have something specific you'd like to talk through.
Walk & Talk Counselling
For those who feel more comfortable talking while moving, sessions can take place outdoors on local trails.
Grief & Pet Loss Support
A place to talk openly about loss—including the loss of a pet—and find support without pressure to grieve in a particular way.
Employee Wellness Support
Flexible one-to-one support for employees, available on-site across Niagara or virtually in Ontario.
Hi, I'm Emily.
I'm a Registered Professional Counsellor (Provisional) and founder of Schild Wellness.
My approach is conversational, collaborative and down-to-earth. Along with talking things through, sessions may include mindfulness, grounding or gentle body awareness when those approaches feel useful to you.
There's no expectation to do things a particular way. We'll work with what feels comfortable and relevant to you.
Thinking about counselling?
You don't have to be certain before reaching out. A free 15-minute consultation is a chance to ask questions, tell me a little about what you're looking for, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
Reduced-rate counselling spaces are available. Please feel welcome to ask about current availability.
