Compassionate Mental Health Support

Mental health counselling provides professional support for emotional as well as social wellness. It helps you navigate difficulties and develop tools to manage life challenges. The world can feel overwhelming when stress and emotional struggles impact your mental wellness, making it difficult to find your balance. At Katya Coad Counselling, I create a safe space to help you build resilience, process difficult past experiences, manage daily stressors, and develop healthier ways of coping.


How Mental Health Counseling Can Help?
Here is how mental health counselling can help.

  • Improves emotional regulation and coping skills
  • Supports healing from past trauma and difficult experiences
  • Helps build self-awareness and personal growth
  • Strengthens relationships and communication skills
  • Encourages healthier thought patterns and behaviors

My Therapeutic Approach
Each person’s journey is unique, which is why I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs. I use a blend of proven, compassionate therapy methods to acknowledge the person that you are on every level – body, mind, and spirit – and help you break free from mental health challenges.

  • Person-Centered Therapy – Together, we’ll uncover your emotions and thoughts, focusing on your strengths and unique path forward.
  • Somatic Experiencing (SE) – Somatic therapy helps with mental health by focusing on the mind-body connection, allowing individuals to become more aware of physical sensations in their body that show up as anxiety. It helps clients identify and release pent-up emotions stored within the body, ultimately leading to better emotional regulation and reduced mental health symptoms.
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – When you feel disconnected from yourself and from other people, EFT helps you understand the deeper emotions driving conflict to bring you back to a place of safety and love.
  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – CBT helps you recognize and shift negative thought patterns. Instead of spiraling into worst-case scenarios, you’ll learn how to challenge those thoughts and replace them with something healthier.
  • A Mix of other Therapies (Inner Child Work, Parts, Reparenting & Grounding) – Depending on the client and their circumstances, I sometimes draw from an eclectic mix of other modalities in a trauma-informed way. These may include inner child work and reparenting, parts therapy, and grounding visualizations. Healing your past emotional wounds helps you make choices that align with the future you want.

FAQs


What if I don’t know how to talk about my feelings?
It is completely normal to feel unsure. I create a comfortable space where you can express yourself, or simply sit in silence if that is what is needed. You can go at your own comfortable pace. My role is to guide you through the process by asking you questions and helping you find words for what you are experiencing.


Can therapy help if I don’t have a diagnosed mental illness?
Some people find diagnoses helpful, and some insurance providers require them. At Katya Coad Counselling, rather than focusing on diagnoses, I address individuals and their circumstances in a human-centred space of safety, support, and nonjudgment.


Can mental health counselling help with everyday stress?
Counselling is not just for major crises. It helps manage daily stressors, improves coping skills, and enhances overall emotional well-being. I work with you to develop practical strategies for a balanced life.


What if I feel nervous about starting therapy?
It is completely normal to feel hesitant. My goal is to create a welcoming and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts.
