At Transformation Counselling, we deeply value the dedication and sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). We understand that your experiences can lead to challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and much more. Our compassionate team is here to support you through both online and in-person counselling services.
Our Therapeutic Approaches
We offer various therapies to help with different feelings and problems:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): This method teaches you to change negative thought patterns, helping reduce feelings of anxiety and sadness.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages you to accept your feelings and commit to actions that align with your values, promoting mental flexibility.
