What is Counselling? Clinical Counselling is the skilled and professional use of the therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and the client that can facilitate self-knowledge, acceptance, and growth. Counsellors draw on different theoretical approaches to help individuals achieve their goals and work towards better mental wellness.

WHAT WE DO
Water Lily Counselling provides individual and family counselling to children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a variety of wellness, or mental health concerns.
ANXIETY & STRESS
Many life circumstances such as work, school, relationships, financial distress, or chronic physical health, can bring about chronic experiences of anxiety. Anxiety can also manifest itself through physical symptoms.
Ongoing symptoms of depression can include a sense of loneliness, sadness, loss of hope, along with some physical symptoms such as difficulty to focus, fatigue, and physical aches.
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after events that are loaded with strong emotions, or any stressful, frightening or distressing event that can pose a danger to our being.
Injuries post a motor vehicle accident are not limited to physical injuries, and it is very common for individuals to develop symptoms of stress, anxiety, and struggle with pain and a sense of being overwhelmed.
We believe that establishing and maintaining a relationship based on trust, and love is the key to raising emotionally secure, confident and healthy children.
While we help children learn emotional regulation skills and better communication, we work closely in supporting the parents to understand the emotions behind their child’s behavior and support them in facilitating changes.
Water Lily Counselling is proud to serve as an education center by providing training and supervision to Master’s level counselling interns. The practicum program provides a bridge for the application of theoretical knowledge in practice through field experience, supporting the transition from student to counsellor. This program will help Masters level interns to gain experience with clinical assessment, case conceptualization and an understanding of gender and cultural issues in their journey to become competent and reflective counsellors. This program also allows Water Lily Counselling to be able to offer low fee counselling to any individual in the community in need of mental health services by removing financial barriers in seeking help.

"Work related stress is connected either indirectly, or directly with so many things outside of my work life. Shahla was amazing in helping me regain balance with how I felt, and approach change in how I think. If one had to seek her services, I would always approach with an open mind and an open heart, even if it is at least a little bit. I would definitely meet with her again for any day-to-day rebalancing of my mental well-being!"
"Shahla is such a great counsellor! I have been working with her for a year due to anxiety following a car accident and was also diagnosed with post concussion syndrome and had symptoms similar to PTSD. She walks side by side with the client and help go through the journey together instead of letting the client have the full responsibility on this difficult journey."
