EXPERIENTIAL AND A TRANSFORMATIVE COUNSELLING

Counselling Services in Calgary

A space for creating self-awareness, self-understanding and meaningful change.

Conscientia” is the Latin word for AWARENESS and that is basically the purpose of my counselling services in Calgary: to help you create awareness in your life and in your relationships. When you understand who you are, you have choices, you are able to decide how to act but more importantly, you are able to make appropriate decisions, decisions that are based on current needs; you can think and act in the present moment instead of based on experiences from the past. We operate in Calgary. Learn more about our approach on our About Us page.

“Sometimes we have to unlearn the thinking that keeps us prisoners of our own insecurities”

Conscientia Counselling is a group practice providing counselling services in Calgary. We offer two tiers of services. On one hand, we provide services by fully accredited and registered professionals—a social worker, a psychologist, and a counselling therapist.

These professionals are all accredited, which is important because, when receiving psychological services in Calgary or anywhere else, you need to ensure the provider is regulated by a professional body. This provides accountability, so if something goes wrong, you have someone to talk to and can even file a complaint if necessary.

We have registered social workers, psychologists, and counselling therapists. We also offer services provided by interns who are finishing their master’s degrees in counselling psychology at the university. These interns are supervised by one of our staff members.

The benefit of using an intern is lower fees. For example, a registered psychologist in Calgary might charge $175 to $200 per hour, while an intern offers services for $100 per hour. The quality of services remains the same, but since they are not yet registered, the fees are lower.

We recognize that counselling can sometimes be a privilege, especially in Calgary, where psychological services can be expensive, particularly if you don’t have insurance benefits to cover the cost. That’s why we decided it was important to offer services that are more affordable than the competition.

One of the advantages of Conscientia Counselling is that we provide services for individuals who may not have benefits and can’t afford the full cost of counselling services. Personally, as an immigrant, I believe it’s important to support sectors of the population that are often underserved, including immigrants and first-generation Canadians. These individuals often face challenges in bridging the gap between the values of their family of origin and the values of their new home.

We are all Canadians, but some of us struggle between what our parents want for us and the society in which we now live. This can create internal conflicts and a clash between our authentic selves and the expectations placed on us. We love serving this population and providing support and insight on how to bridge the gap between their parents, themselves, and even their children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Counselling can help with a variety of emotional and psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, stress, trauma, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions.

In your first session, the therapist will ask about your concerns, background, and goals. It’s a time to build rapport, discuss confidentiality, and create a plan for moving forward.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling emotionally, counselling can offer support, new perspectives, and practical tools to improve your well-being. Many people benefit from even a few sessions to gain clarity and direction.

A psychologist is a regulated health professional with a master’s or doctoral degree and is registered with the College of Alberta Psychologists. A counsellor or therapist may have similar qualifications but may be certified through different associations. All can provide talk therapy, but licensing and insurance coverage may vary. At this moment, there is no regulating body (like CAP or ACSW for Social Workers) for Counselling Therapists. However, make sure your therapist is at least a Certified Canadian Counsellor.

Yes, counselling is confidential and adheres to strict ethical and legal guidelines. Exceptions to confidentiality include risks of harm to self or others, or situations involving abuse or neglect, as required by Alberta law.
