My name is Heather and I am a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPCC) with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTCC) with the Association of Cooperative Counsellors of Canada (ACCT), and a member of the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
As your counsellor, I aim to be a compassionate companion, walking alongside you on your journey of healing. I am available to meet in person, as well as offer the option of walk-and-talk sessions, telephone sessions, or online/virtual video counselling. By creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, I aim to counsel with compassion, and connection and create space for change and growth.
At Heather Carrell Counselling, we believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health. Using a holistic approach with therapy sessions can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance. We truly care about helping you on your journey to improved well-being and are here to support you every step of the way.
I help you get to the root of your problems, train your brain to be more resilient, and overwrite unwanted default programming so you can make lasting change. 95% of your thoughts and behaviours are processed in your unconscious mind, which is why, even though you might want something better for yourself, you find yourself stuck. I use evidence-based techniques like hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and neurofeedback to help you access your unconscious mind, and reprogram unwanted thoughts and behaviour patterns for good.

I specialize in working with people struggling with ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I have deep empathy for the experience of anxiety and relationship struggles, and I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. I know that anxiety often comes from a place of just wanting to get it right, and I'm skilled in working through the underlying issues that contribute to anxiety so that you can feel confident and secure instead of frozen and stalled.
I understand how anxiety affects all stages of relationships (including finding a partner in the first place) and I support my clients to move from feeling lonely and disconnected to confident and secure. In addition to my individual work, I offer evidence-based couples' counselling using the Gottman method, which goes beyond just communication skills and gives practical strategies to create real change.
Welcome! I approach therapy as a co-creative process which centers holistic wellness - mind, body, and spirit. I am here to support you in creating sustainable change by tapping into the transformative power of connection, compassion, and creativity.
I use many modalities in my practice, such as storytelling, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, guided visualization, breathing, expressive arts, and somatics. I wish to help my clients explore deep Self, their connections with others, and their relationship with the Earth.
I believe that we all have the capacity to heal ourselves - a journey which can be nurtured through intentional exploration, conversation, and practice. If you are interested in working with me, please book a free consult to discuss further and see if we align. I look forward to connecting with you. With kindness, Josiane.
