​

I'm Emily Schild, a Registered Professional Counsellor (Provisional) with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association and founder of Schild Wellness.

My path into counselling began through work supporting people experiencing difficult periods in their lives. My background also includes many years in fitness and wellness, where I became increasingly interested in the connection between what we're experiencing emotionally and what we notice in our bodies.

That interest eventually led me to formal education in psychology and counselling, completing my Diploma of Applied Psychology and Counselling through the Kelowna College of Professional Counselling.​

How I Work

My approach to counselling is conversational, collaborative and person-centred. I don't believe there's one right way to work through something, and I don't see my role as fixing you or telling you what you should do.

Instead, we'll look together at what's happening, what may be keeping you stuck, and what might help you move forward. Sometimes that means simply having somewhere to talk things through. At other times, we might explore patterns, grounding, mindfulness, body awareness or practical strategies that feel relevant to what you're experiencing.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, overthinking, emotional fatigue, and times when they simply don't feel quite like themselves.

Sessions are available in person in Pelham, virtually across Ontario, and outdoors through Walk & Talk counselling.​
