At Warp & Weft Counselling and Art Therapy, we offer counselling for adults, children, teens, couples, and families navigating difficult experiences, relationship challenges, and periods of change. Our approach is grounded in connection, collaboration, and an understanding of how trauma, relationships, and the broader circumstances of our lives shape our experiences.
Sessions are tailored to each person or family. Depending on your needs, therapy may involve conversation, creative expression, play, body-based practices, or exploring patterns in relationships. You do not need to know exactly what you need before getting started.
Services Available
-
Individual counselling offers space to explore difficult experiences, understand patterns, and work toward meaningful change. Sessions may involve talking through current concerns, exploring past experiences, developing strategies for managing distress, or working with emotions and bodily responses that can be difficult to put into words.
We support adults navigating trauma, abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, coercive control, narcissistic abuse, grief and loss, separation and divorce, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and significant life transitions. Therapy can also provide space to explore identity, boundaries, self-trust, and the effects of prolonged stress or harmful relationships.
Available in-person or online
Session length: 50 minutes
Fee: $190-$120 -
Children and teens can experience distress in ways that are not always easy to explain. Counselling provides a supportive space to explore feelings, build emotional understanding, and develop ways to navigate challenges at home, at school, and in relationships.
Sessions may involve play, art, storytelling, conversation, and age-appropriate activities that help young people communicate and make sense of their experiences. We support children and teens navigating anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, grief and loss, parental separation or divorce, neurodivergence, identity, and relationship challenges.
We also support children and teens who have been impacted by violence, abuse, or ongoing conflict in their families and relationships. Even when violence is not directed at them, witnessing it or living with its effects can influence a young person's sense of safety, relationships, emotions, and behavior. Therapy offers space for young people to express their experiences at their own pace, strengthen their sense of safety, and develop ways of coping that honor their individual needs. Sessions are adapted to each young person's developmental stage, interests, and needs.
When appropriate, parents or caregivers may be involved to help strengthen understanding and support progress outside the therapy room.
Available in-person only
Session length: 50 minutes
Fee: $180-120 -
Art therapy offers another way to explore experiences, emotions, and patterns that may be difficult to express through conversation alone. Using materials such as paint, drawing, collage, or other creative processes, you can give form to feelings, explore personal meaning, and approach difficult experiences at your own pace.
No artistic experience is needed, and the focus is not on producing something beautiful or technically skilled. Art therapy can be helpful for processing trauma, grief, relational experiences, identity changes, and emotions that feel overwhelming or hard to name. Creative work may be integrated into counselling or used as a more central part of the therapeutic process, depending on your preferences and needs.

Parent-child dyadic therapy focuses on the relationship between a child and their parent or caregiver. Rather than looking at a child's behaviour in isolation, sessions explore what may be happening within the relationship and how both the child and caregiver experience moments of connection, distress, and repair.
Sessions may involve guided play, shared activities, observation, and support in responding to a child's emotional and relational needs. This approach can be helpful when families are navigating big emotions, behavioural challenges, attachment disruptions, trauma, transitions, or difficulties feeling connected. The goal is to strengthen trust, support co-regulation, and build more secure and responsive ways of relating.
Available in-person only
Session length: 50 minutes
Fee: $200-150 -
Couples counselling offers a space to understand relationship patterns, address recurring conflict, and explore what each partner needs to feel heard and understood. Sessions may involve identifying cycles of interaction, practising communication skills, exploring emotional and relational needs, and working toward greater clarity about the relationship.
Couples may seek support with communication difficulties, disconnection, trust and intimacy, conflict, life transitions, separation, or the aftermath of a breach of trust or infidelity. Therapy can support partners in working toward repair and change, understanding their options, or navigating separation more thoughtfully.
Where abuse, coercion, or concerns about safety are present, the therapeutic approach must account for power imbalances and each partner's ability to participate freely and safely.
Available in-person or online
Session length: 50 minutes
Fee: $200-150 -
Family counselling provides space for family members to better understand one another, work through conflict, and navigate changes that affect the family as a whole. Sessions may involve conversation, structured activities, and support in recognizing patterns of interaction and finding different ways to communicate.
Families may seek support with parenting challenges, parent-child conflict, separation and divorce, blended-family transitions, grief and loss, changing family roles, or difficulties staying connected during stressful periods. The focus is on understanding each person's experience, strengthening relationships where possible, and developing ways to navigate challenges together.
Family counselling is adapted to the ages, needs, and relationships of the people involved, with attention to emotional safety and the different perspectives each family member brings.
Available in-person only
Session length: 50 minutes
Fee: $200-150 -
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a structured, trauma-focused therapy that can help people work through distressing memories, images, and emotional responses. It uses guided eye movements and specific therapeutic techniques to help reduce the intensity of difficult experiences while allowing clients to maintain control over what they choose to share.
Sessions may involve identifying experiences that continue to affect daily life, working with distressing images or memories, and using imagery-based techniques to change how those experiences are held and remembered. ART may be helpful for people navigating trauma, abuse, sexual violence, distressing relationship experiences, anxiety, and other concerns connected to past events.
ART is offered at a pace guided by the client's needs, readiness, and sense of safety. It does not require clients to describe every detail of a traumatic experience, and it can be integrated with other therapeutic approaches as appropriate.
Available in-person only
Session length: 90 minutes
Fee: $200-150
