COunselling Services

We offer flexible hours, weekdays and weekends. Available in two locations in safe and confidential spaces. The traditional way of counselling, some find it more connecting experience. Everyone is unique in their experience and desires. Some find it more comforting to be able to connect with the counsellor in person. In person there is an opportunity to process using Systemic Constellation exploration.

Walk and talk therapy is offered by Lily Pad counsellors, sometimes walking side by side can enhance relaxation and communication. Particularly effective for anyone with anxiety but anyone can request a walk session. It is a great way to get outside, get some exercise, and still have confidential support.  A great option for youth, or anyone who is more comfortable talking side by side.

It is a time-saver and gives you the opportunity to be outside and get some exercise. Some find it a more relaxing atmosphere, easier to be open and speak freely.  Being outside can be an uplifting experience in itself, breathing fresh air can help expand the mind and perspective adding to the counselling experience.

Clients have experienced great success using this format, online is available for couples and individuals. An accessible option for those who are more comfortable being at home or have mobility challenges.

Access any of our counsellors from the privacy and comfort of your own home from anywhere in the world. It is convenient and time-efficient for those with busy lives.

Some find it more comfortable and feel less anxious about counselling, find it easier than meeting face to face, and easier to share feelings and challenges.

Systemic Constellation work is possible in video chat, called “tabletop” constellations, a dynamic process with illuminating results.

If online is not accessible or prefer sessions may take place on the phone. 

Telephone counselling is a confidential option for those with mobility challenges, and anyone who feels more comfortable than face to face, a great option for moms with little ones at home. Some find it easier to stay focused when being in their own space and hearing the voice only. A client can combine telephone counselling with online or in-person if preferred.

Systemic Constellations are still available through telephone counselling, clients find it just as powerful as in person. Systemic constellation exploration is a process that integrates somatic, body, responses to what is being said or felt, and can be very illuminating in this format.

All sessions including telephone can be recorded for later use and insights.

This is another option to use, either between talk sessions or stand-alone. Writing is another way to express and take time to think about counselling support.

Some use email between sessions.  Email can be an effective way to receive support,
receive feedback on new learnings, triggers, and anxiety. There is a contemplative and creative nature to “ getting it down on paper” sometimes making it easier to cut to the heart of the matter.

Some find the act of writing helpful and meditative, there is an opportunity to re-read and review without being overwhelmed with emotion associated with the issue.

You may use email sessions in conjunction with in-person or video sessions or choose to use email for all sessions. Some clients can discover and disclose more in one sentence than in an hour session.  There is a sense of mindfulness while the client explores their inner world, a slowing down of thoughts.  There is the added benefit of having these exchanges available to reread or review at any time, accessing encouraging words, helpful insights, and inspiration.  You will also have a clear history of your progress and insights.

At LilyPad we offer group experiences tailored to your specific needs and goals. All of our counsellors are trained and experienced in group facilitation and Systemic or Family Constellations.

If you desire change in your work environment and have not been able to affect change within, our counsellors can help you to open up communication, break the cycles and mend broken connections.

Are you experiencing a communication breakdown in your workplace and cannot seem to make a change? Have you experienced the sudden loss of one of your members? Would you just like to be more connected and authentic with your co-workers? Group facilitation can make your work environment a more peaceful and effective place to be, we offer in-person or online facilitation.

Are you experiencing too much arguing and shut down in your family? Tired of fighting about the same things and never getting to the bottom of the problem? Would you love to have more peace and connection at home? A facilitated family session can help you to explore the dynamics providing your family members with a safe place to be heard and understood. A Family Constellation is a tool used to enlighten members to the issue and deepen understanding of self and other. A dynamic and fascinating process useful for all ages and issues within a family. We offer in-home or office sessions.
