Our world right now is a tough one to live in. Violence, oppression, discrimination, climate distress, and political polarization are just a few of the topics that clients say contribute to their psychological distress. Anxiety and depression seem like pretty reasonable responses to these extraordinary times we are living in. So what can we do about this?
Counselling can help you to find your hope, freedom, and empowerment to be part of the change our world needs. Counselling supports you to reconnect to your self, family, community, and planet in ways that are healing rather than harmful so that together we can be part of the solution.
Root & Bud Counselling works collaboratively with you to find the change you need to better our world in small and big ways. We support a variety of mental health and life challenges, including:
- anxiety & depression
- grief & loss
- stress & burnout
- trauma
- life transitions
- relationships & family
- neurodiversity
- shame, perfectionism, and self-compassion
- parenting, pre/postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss
- women’s health, including pelvic pain and perimenopause
Maybe you feel stuck, numb, anxious, or depressed.
We can help you find nourishment to grow.
Maybe you are grieving the loss of a person, a dream, an identity, or a life you thought you would have.
We can help you adapt to the growing conditions.
Maybe you don’t quite feel like you fit in this world. You feel like an outsider, looking in.
We can help you find your roots and grow your buds.
The name Root and Bud comes from an e.e. cummings poem about the things in this world that hold wonder, depth, mystery, and meaning.
e.e. cummings
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
