about our practice.

We believe therapy should feel personal, approachable, and human.

We believe getting support shouldn’t feel intimidating, complicated, or like you have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door.

The Wellness Couch is a space for real conversations, hard feelings, humour, curiosity, and all the messy stuff that comes with being a person. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We take the time to get to know you and figure out what actually works for you.

And therapy isn’t just for when things fall apart. Sometimes it’s about understanding yourself better, navigating a change, improving a relationship, building confidence, or simply having a place to check in.

Our goal? For you to feel understood and supported to handle whatever comes next.

volunteer with us.

Interested in psychology, counselling, or the mental health field? We offer volunteer opportunities for students looking to build experience, learn more about the field, and get involved behind the scenes at a counselling practice.

While our volunteer opportunities don’t involve providing counselling or working directly with clients, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Depending on your interests and skills, you might help us with:

  • Supporting workshops and events

  • Writing or contributing to our newsletter

  • Creating infographics and marketing materials

  • Developing psychoeducational resources

  • Reviewing and organizing clinic forms and consent materials

  • Helping with other projects that support the day-to-day work of our practice

This can be a great opportunity for students who are exploring graduate school, building their experience, looking for a reference, or simply wanting to learn more about what happens behind the scenes in private practice.

Think you’d be a good fit? Send us your resume and a little bit about what you’re interested in. If it sounds like a good match, we’ll connect with you for a conversation.
