Janelle Marchand
MACP, RCT, CCC
Clinic Director
Hi, I’m Janelle. I’m a Registered Counselling Therapist and the founder of The Wellness Couch. With my training background, interests, and experience, I primarily work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, parenting, grief, and major life transitions. I also have a special interest in supporting students and academics, those going through divorce, intimacy issues, and breakups, those who are postpartum, and those working in high-stress professions like healthcare, emergency response, agriculture, and fishing.
My counselling style is friendly, approachable, and grounded in the belief therapy doesn’t need to be stiff or formal. I’m not a “quiet therapist” who just nods along. I like to be direct with my clients, but also enjoy to laugh and have some good banter too. My goal is to challenge you and help you better understand yourself or situation in a way that feels both supportive and practical.
I offer in-person and virtual therapy, couples therapy, and walk & talk sessions for those who feel more comfortable processing their thoughts in motion.
Whatever brings you here, know that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Please reach out! I'm here to help you get started.
