Counselling & Psychotherapy
Welcome to Tall Poppy Counselling Services - providing counselling and psychotherapy specially tailored to women locally in Ottawa, as well as throughout Ontario.
Navigating life's major transitions can be overwhelming, and you don’t have to go through it alone. We specialize in providing compassionate and supportive counselling for women experiencing significant life changes. Whether you're adjusting to pregnancy, managing postpartum challenges, struggling with health issues or your mood, or coping with loss, we are here to help.
While it may seem daunting at first, don’t worry, we’re here for you! Counselling and psychotherapy provides an opportunity for you to confidentially express what is on your mind and heart. We understand the unique emotional and psychological impacts of these experiences and offer a safe space to explore your feelings and thoughts. Through empathic listening and motivational interviewing, you’ll be encouraged and gently challenged to open yourself to growth and healing.
As each client is unique, suggestions and tools will be provided to help you examine your thoughts and needs, build resiliency, and utilise your own strengths to recover from difficult experiences and strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Integrative mental health support and solutions for mind, body, and soul are explored that help provide holistic healing and growth.
You deserve the support and care you need during these pivotal moments in your life. Reach out today to schedule your complimentary, initial consult.
