WELCOME TO SHINE COUNSELLING


Who I am What I do

Welcome

I understand that it is not always easy to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you are overwhelmed by difficult emotions, wanting to make a change but not sure where to start, or struggling to cope with unexpected events, please know that you do not have to face these challenges alone. I would be honoured to be a part of your journey towards healing and personal growth.

At the heart of my counselling practice is a commitment to a client-centered approach. I recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and I am here to guide you through a process that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

About me

Hello! My name is Alison. I am a registered social worker (with the Alberta College of Social Work), with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Lethbridge. I am an experienced therapist, with over 20 years of clinical experience providing mental health services to adults, adolescents, and families with complex mental health needs.

In-Person Sessions:

For those who prefer face-to-face interaction, in-person sessions provide a traditional therapeutic setting.

Virtual Therapy:

I also offer virtual therapy sessions to accommodate individuals who may find this mode of communication more convenient or suitable to their lifestyle.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a personalized space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal challenges.

Therapy for Adolescents

I provide both individual and family therapy for teens.

Parenting Support/ Therapy

Therapy for parents can address a variety of concerns and challenges related to parenting, family dynamics, and individual well-being.

Family Therapy

I offer family therapy to support families in understanding each other better, resolving conflicts, improving communication, and creating a healthier family system.

Specialties

I help individuals facing a range of mental health challenges. However, my expertise extends to working with complex mental health issues, with a particular focus on anxiety and depression, and includes specialized counselling for adolescents, parenting, and family therapy.

“As a single footstep will not make a path on earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we must walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives”. – Henry David Thoreau
