Inspirational quote:

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy — the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” – Brene Brown

How do you believe counselling can help:

Counselling is a collaborative journey between a therapist and client that supports healing and growth. Counselling provides a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can openly express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through a supportive counselling relationship, I believe meaningful change and insight can emerge.

Your approach to counselling:

I use a client-centred and strength-based approach to counselling, where I focus on helping clients draw on their own strengths, values, and resources. Everyone’s journey is unique, and I’m dedicated to creating a warm, supportive space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences.

April has also received training in the Gottman Method and Narrative Therapy.  

April’s interaction style is gentle and laid-back.

Logan is a Certified Canadian Counsellor with a Master of Psychotherapy and Spirituality at St. Stephen’s College. Previously, Logan obtained her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from MacEwan University. She brings a trauma-informed lens with a focus in religious and spiritual abuse, drawing from both academic learning and her experience helping cult-survivors. With a commitment to addressing the complexities of individual experiences, Logan also integrates a systems perspective that considers the power imbalances and marginalization affecting individuals and their surrounding contexts.

Additionally, Logan utilizes her mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training and her experience as a yoga instructor to inform an embodied and mindfulness-based lifestyle which blends into her approach to holding space for others. Her holistic background has helped to develop a profound sense of awe, curiosity, and humility toward existence which feeds into the openness and acceptance she strives to continuously develop for herself and others.

“People need love more than they need advice. Most people know the right thing to do, they just need someone to believe in them.” – Lex Fridman

How do you believe counselling can help:

When the body knows that it is safe and supported with a trusted other, it naturally begins to open up new pathways for healing and growth. As part of therapy, healing often includes an exploration of the client’s inner world. It is through this inner exploration that new
understandings can be found and new meanings can be made, allowing for greater choice, autonomy, and empowerment within the client’s life.

Your approach to counselling:

I believe that every individual deserves to be respected, understood, accepted, and believed in. This philosophy guides my collaborative and client-centered approach, where I honor the inherent wisdom each client brings to therapy and work to empower them in accessing their inner resources for healing and growth. My therapeutic approach also integrates systems, feminist, and post-humanist theories, facilitating a deep exploration of the inner and outer contexts influencing a client’s life, including family, societal, spiritual/religious, and cultural systems. I am mindful of the various systems of power and marginalization that clients may encounter, and I strive to create a space where these dynamics can be explored and acknowledged.

In addition, I incorporate embodied and mindfulness-based perspectives, valuing the interconnectedness of body and mind as sources of insight and healing. By honouring both the mental and physical experiences of my clients, I aim to create a holistic therapeutic environment
that supports resilience and personal growth. My goal is to guide clients in navigating their unique challenges, helping them to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and fostering a journey toward healing and empowered living.
