Types of Counselling Offered
The Health Nest in Vernon offers tailored counselling to support your mental health and personal growth. Here are some of the most popular types of counselling therapy we offer at our downtown Vernon clinic.
Fertility Counselling
Fertility counselling offers a supportive space for individuals and couples navigating the emotional, physical, and relational challenges of trying to conceive. Whether you’re exploring fertility treatments, facing delays or loss, or planning alternative paths to parenthood, counselling can help you process emotions, reduce stress, and make informed choices.
Birth Trauma Counselling
Birth trauma counselling provides a safe, validating space to process difficult or distressing birth experiences. Whether your birth involved unexpected interventions, complications, or emotional overwhelm, counselling can help you work through fear, grief, and lingering anxiety. We offer compassionate, trauma-informed care to support healing, build resilience, and restore confidence in your body and story.
Postpartum Mental Health
Postpartum mental health care supports new parents navigating emotional changes after birth. From baby blues to more serious conditions like postpartum depression or anxiety, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Counselling offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk through your experience, access tools for coping, and feel more grounded.
Men’s Mental Health Counselling
Men’s counselling offers a supportive, down-to-earth space to work through stress, anger, overwhelm, and major life transitions. Whether you’re navigating fatherhood, burnout, relationship strain, or high-pressure work, counselling can help you gain clarity, build coping tools, and feel more grounded.
Youth and Teen Counselling
Youth counselling supports teens and young adults navigating anxiety, identity, stress, and social pressure. Whether it’s school stress, friendships, or family relationships, therapy gives youth a safe place to express themselves, learn tools for self-regulation, and feel less alone.
Individual Counselling
Individual counselling is a safe, one-on-one, private space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and life challenges with a trained professional. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, past trauma, or a big life transition, therapy can help you gain clarity and build emotional resilience.
Couples Counselling
Couples counselling helps partners improve communication, navigate conflict, and strengthen their connection in a supportive environment. Whether you’re facing ongoing relationship stress, adjusting to new life stages, or simply want to deepen your bond, therapy offers tools to better understand each other and work through challenges together.
Family Support
Family support counselling helps families navigate life’s challenges together with care, clarity, and connection. Whether you’re adjusting to parenting, dealing with conflict, navigating change, dealing with intergenerational dynamics, or supporting a child through a tough time, therapy offers a space to explore your feelings and build stronger relationships.
LGBTQIA2S+
LGBTQIA2S+ counselling provides a safe, inclusive space for exploring identity, relationships, and mental health with a supportive professional. Whether you’re navigating gender, orientation, coming out, or seeking affirming care, this therapy centers your lived experience.
Anxiety
Anxiety counselling offers support for people who feel overwhelmed by worry, fear, or racing thoughts. Anxiety can affect sleep, relationships, concentration, and overall well-being. Therapy can help you identify triggers, understand thought patterns, and learn grounding tools to regulate your nervous system.
Stress Management
Stress-focused counselling can help when pressure from work, family, or life changes feels like too much. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, caregiving stress, or struggling to find balance, therapy offers a space to slow down and reconnect with what you need.
Grief and Loss Counselling
Grief counselling offers compassionate support for navigating the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or any meaningful change. Our counsellors provide a safe, non-judgmental space to express what you’re feeling, integrate the loss into your life, and begin to reconnect with your inner sense of meaning and strength.
What to Expect During a Session
We offer a calm, compassionate space where you can be heard without judgment. In your first session, you’ll explore what’s bringing you in, what you’d like to work on, and how you’d like to move forward. Sessions are always tailored to your needs and comfort.
Counselling sessions are typically 50–60 minutes and may be offered in person or virtually, depending on your preference.
