Counselling therapy for individuals and families in Halifax.
Compassionate support for connected living.
Welcome to Inspirit!
Welcome to Inspirit Counselling Services. We provide licensed registered counselling therapy to individuals and families in Halifax and throughout Nova Scotia. If you or someone you care about is struggling, we are here to offer education, reflective support and guidance to help you along your path with confidence. Please reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation and to learn more about our approach to counselling.
Humanistic, Evidence-Based Approach
You are the expert in your own life, and we affirm your personhood in whatever stage of life you find yourself in. We will support you to live in a way that is aligned with your hopes and values, and assist you to move forward with insight, education, evidence-based guidance, and resolution.
Non-Judgmental
Your sense of safety in therapy is paramount. We acknowledge the human process that works to protect and guide us during times of difficulty. We offer a steady presence, and are curious and non-judgmental of your process as we work toward health and well-being.
Strength-Focused
Each person has unique gifts that will help them to survive and thrive. Rather than focusing on weaknesses, we will work to identify the innate strengths within your attitude, aptitude, personality and resources, and apply those strengths to the healing process.
Holistic
Mental health is informed by an interplay of psychological, biological, cultural, and social factors, and we strive to gain understanding of your unique intersections to gain insight and to offer effective and individualized treatment.
Confidential
Our work is centered on providing private, non-biased, and ethical support that adheres to the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
Building Confidence
When self-esteem is a challenge, it can be difficult to access a real sense of confidence needed to participate fully in life. Perhaps you feel hindered from taking on a new role or project, or from asserting your space in the world. Together we will work to build trust in yourself to have courage, self-assurance and spirit. With validating support, gain insight into your strengths and overcome roadblocks to vitality.
Processing Grief & Loss
Grief and loss exists in many forms. From the death of a loved one or the dissolution of a relationship, to grieving a relocation or a difficult life choice. None of these events are easy, and can be disorienting and lonely. Receive space to orient yourself with attunement and compassion while grieving. Process your experience with loss and build a continuum of connection to your past, while moving bravely into the future.
Child & Family Well-Being
Many families struggle with stress, frustration, and burnout, but shame and concern can get in the way of seeking help. Modern families face unprecedented challenges, yet acceptance, calm, and connection remains a central goal between most family members. Find non-judgmental support and safety to navigate challenges with family dynamics to strengthen peace, attachment, and well-being for all family members.
Living with ADHD
If you or someone you love has an ADHD diagnosis, it can be challenging to wrap your head around a non-typical way of being. We are available to help you process and affirm your experience living with neurodivergence. We will identify the unique gifts that accompany this diagnosis and build skills to help you self-advocate and your life and relationships thrive.
Coping with Life Stressors
Life can throw real curve balls and it can be hard to deal with the mounting stress. Knowing where to even start can be tough, especially when there are no easy answers or when others are counting on you. Together, we can work to improve your mental health by providing focused support during times of crisis. Release tension, gain clarity, and navigate an intentional path forward to alleviate stress.
Perfectionism and Mood
When everything in life seems like an uphill battle, you may find yourself irritable, anxious, and impatient. This can create difficulties in your relationships and for your opportunities in life. Address issues with perfectionism and low mood, and increase hope and ease with holistic, and concrete support to help you reclaim your sense of self and participate in a full and meaningful life.
