Services | DtS Counselling
We offer confidential psychotherapy services for men, women and youth, aged 12 and up. At DtS counselling, we work with individuals on many different topics and issues.
While we explore many different perspectives on healing, we focus our training and use of:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Changing how we think to change how we feel.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
Processing and releasing emotions.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Addressing trauma.
If you are dealing with:
Anxiety
Learn to calm your mind by using your body’s natural signals, while breaking the cycle of tension that keeps you on edge. We’ll equip you with practical tools—like breathing techniques and thought-shifting strategies—to take control and find steady ground.
Depression
Feeling too low to even start, or like you don’t matter? We can help you take small, manageable steps to rebuild your sense of worth, using proven strategies to spark momentum. Tiny changes lead to big wins—because you do matter.
Past Trauma
Trapped by intrusive memories, dreams, or a lingering sense of danger? We’ll guide you to release the past’s grip, using tailored techniques to help you feel safe and move forward. You don’t have to stay stuck—we’ll get there together.
Procrastination
Break the cycle of putting things off with small, actionable steps that build momentum. You’ve got the power to get moving—we’ll show you how.
Avoidance
Stop running from tough feelings and start facing them head-on. We’ll equip you with tools to handle the discomfort and take back control.
Addictions – Substances
Caught in a loop with substances, feeling like they are running the show? We’ll work together to understand the triggers and build healthier ways to cope, giving you back control. You’re stronger than the habit—let’s prove it.
Addictions – Behaviours
Struggling with habits like gaming, scrolling, or other behaviors that take over your life? We’ll dig into what’s fueling them and create practical steps to shift your focus, so you can reclaim your time and energy. You can break free and build better routines.
Grief and Loss
Loss can feel like a weight that won’t lift, but you don’t have to carry it alone. We’ll help you honour the past while finding a path to heal and move forward.
Relationships and Boundary Setting
Unhealthy relationship patterns can leave you feeling drained or stuck. We’ll teach you how to set clear boundaries and communicate them with confidence, paving the way for stronger, more balanced connections.
Guilt
Let go of the guilt that’s been weighing you down, even when it feels impossible. We’ll help you focus on what you can control, using strategies to release the past and find peace within yourself.
Life Transitions
Big changes can throw you off balance, leaving you unsure of what’s next. We’ll provide tools to stay grounded and take charge, helping you navigate life’s shifts with confidence.
