Individual Therapy in Calgary

Dayami Fernandes, the founder of Conscientia Counselling, talking about Individual Counselling

Individual therapy is a broad category that involves a one-on-one relationship between the therapist and the client. It’s unique because it is entirely focused on benefiting you – the client.

Unlike other relationships that are mutually beneficial, individual therapy exists solely to support your well-being.  We are happy to offer individual counselling in Calgary.

What Can You Talk About in Therapy/Counselling?

In individual therapy or individual counselling, you can discuss anything happening in your life. Many people seek therapy or counselling during a crisis, but others come for the benefit of having a compassionate, non-judgmental listener. A therapist can act as a sounding board, helping you process anything from: 

  • Career changes (e.g., “I’m thinking about switching jobs, but I don’t know which direction to go.”)
  • Childhood trauma that may still affect your life today.
  • Recurring relationship patterns (e.g., “Why do I keep having the same kind of relationships over and over?”).

A skilled therapist, like the ones at Conscientia Counselling, helps you express your thoughts and concerns. Together, you’ll determine the most effective approach – using the appropriate therapy modality – to create meaningful change and help you achieve your goals. 

A Revolving Door Approach to Therapy

At Conscientia Counselling, we don’t believe therapy should last forever. We see therapy as a revolving door: 

  • You come in when you need help with a specific challenge.
  • You work through it, whether it takes weeks, months, or years.
  • Then, you move forward and live your life until you encounter another issue.

When new challenges arise, you return for a check-in and continue growing. We’ve had clients follow this approach, and before long, they refer their partners, siblings, and even colleagues, recognizing the value of having a neutral, supportive professional by their side. 

Why Choose Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy offers a safe space with someone who genuinely cares and wants to see you live the life you’re meant to live – not one limited by past experiences or learned patterns. Our goal at Conscientia Counselling is to empower you to break free from those limitations and thrive.
