Individual
Counselling

You Don’t Have to Keep Holding It All Together.

Life gets heavy. Emotionally, mentally, physically. Whether you're carrying years of unresolved pain, barely keeping your cool at work or home, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, individual counselling offers a space to release, understand, and rebuild.


At Safe Nest, we support you with real conversations, personalized strategies, and a judgement-free space to show up exactly as you are.

Practical Help for
Individuals:

Relationships

When love gets complicated, confusing, or just really hard.


Whether it’s romantic, family, or friendship dynamics, relationships shape so much of how we see ourselves. If you’re feeling unseen, disconnected, or stuck in the same cycles. Let’s explore what’s going on and how to move forward.

Real Conversations

No psychobabble, only honest, guided talks to figure out what’s really going on.

Tools That Stick

You’ll walk away with actual strategies, not just theories.

Proven Frameworks

Backed by the Gottman Method, EFT, CBT and more, this isn’t guesswork.

Does This Feel Like You?

You’ve been holding it together on the outside, but inside, you’re tired, emotionally drained, mentally stuck, or just not feeling like yourself.

 

Maybe you’ve tried pushing through, pretending everything’s fine, or minimizing what you're feeling… but it’s catching up.


If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to talk to someone who gets it.

  • Do you find yourself snapping at people you care about, then feeling guilty afterward?

  • Are your thoughts constantly racing, making it hard to focus, rest, or relax?

  • Do you feel responsible for everyone else's needs but have no time or energy for your own?

  • Is it getting harder to find joy in things you used to love?

  • Have you experienced a loss that still feels raw, even if time has passed?

  • Do you feel on edge or triggered by things that seem “small” to others?

  • Are you questioning your relationships or noticing the same painful patterns showing up?

  • Do you feel like you're running on empty? Mentally, emotionally, or physically?

How I Approach Our Sessions:

I blend evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, and DBT to get to the root of what’s happening.

We focus on what’s actually effective, not just what feels good in the moment.

You’re Not Broken But Something’s Not Working.

If you're feeling disconnected, stuck in repeating patterns, or carrying the weight of relationship tension, individual counselling can help you make sense of it all, so you can show up with more clarity, confidence, and peace in your relationships.
