Barb Borthistle

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor dedicated to supporting a diverse range of women and men across all ages as they navigate challenges related to mental health, relationships, and personal purpose. I provide individual counselling for concerns such as relational difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, identity development, trauma, and spiritual formation. I also offer relationship counselling for individuals and couples who are preparing for a committed partnership or marriage, as well as those seeking guidance in their current relationship. In addition, I facilitate women’s groups that offer a safe and supportive environment to explore identity, meaning, and purpose. This is supported by my MA in Leadership. Each client brings very unique issues to the sessions, so I utilize a variety of therapies depending on the client's needs. These include CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, Talk therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Client-centered, Existential, Gestalt therapy, Interpersonal therapy, couples therapy, Internal Family Systems, Prayer/Spiritual counselling, and Exposure therapy. I am an Art practitioner, so I utilize visual arts, movement, and music in my counselling style.
