We begin by running a series of

assessing strengths & challenges.
The assessments help us proceed,
working on areas that will lead to
better coping at work, school or life.
We’ll do a deep dive together,
isolating specific challenges and
finding effective solutions.
We all need support, but many of us go through life feeling alone. You don’t have to go through things alone if you seek counselling. At Waystone, we provide a respectful, safe environment in which you can be yourself without fear of being judged, allowing us to explore the areas of your life that needs support. Some people find it beneficial to talk about early experiences that may still have an emotional impact on their life. Others find it more beneficial to concentrate on solutions and practical approaches to change. We can find a solution that works best for you if we work together.
Online Psychotherapy is similar to in-person psychotherapy in many ways. Seeing a competent therapist in a neutral setting can help you observe and understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Without having to travel to an office, you can see a therapist from the convenience of your own home. You’re good to go as long as you have access to a decent, quiet area with plenty of solitude.
We are keen on making support accessible and convenient for people who do not have the means or ability to get to a physical session. Our online therapy services cater to your privacy, ease, comfort as well as scheduling ease using our online booking tool.
Our team of Professional and licensed psychologists have a wealth of experience on a range of issues with effective results through online psychotherapy. The privacy of our clients is important to us. We follow strict professional and ethical guidelines when it comes to client information confidentiality.
We understand that our clients have different needs that may include inability to attend physical sessions or face to face communication concerns, our online service provides an alternative that caters to their comfort. With encrypted and secure communication lines, you can rest easy knowing your information is secure.
Not at all! Quite the contrary, in fact. Seeking help is a sign that one recognizes the problem and is willing to take action to make it better. That’s a sign of strength!
Counselling helps people assess the stressors and issues that they are facing, then addresses these issues and helps one take steps to overcome what’s holding them back.
While society has placed a stigma on therapy, that stigma has been lessening over time. Nowadays there is much more recognition of mental health and emotional struggles as legitimate issues. Much as one would see a medical doctor for treatment of a physical ailment, individual counselling is the best option for people coping with mental and emotional health issues. Reach out to us to talk about how we can help.
Anxiety and depression have a lot of overlap. It is not at all uncommon for someone with depression issues to also deal with anxiety. Indeed, they are often two sides of the same coin, coexisting and manifesting themselves simultaneously or alternating.
Whereas depression is more of a shutdown reaction to negative feelings and emotions, anxiety is a constant worry about what kind of bad things might happen. Both are part of the stress response system and can most certainly exist side by side, appearing as a debilitating emotional condition.
The good news is that anxiety and depression do not need to be treated separately. At Waystone we often treat people who are experiencing issues of both depression and anxiety.
Last part first: Learning challenges are hardly an excuse! Rather they are legitimate issues facing many in our society – somewhere in the range of 1 in 10 people, in fact.
Sadly, there are still remnants of an old guard, old school mentality, people who claim that learning challenges are “bunk” and that all you need to do is “apply yourself.” Clearly these people haven’t seen someone struggling while trying their best, ‘applying’ themselves only to see little if any improvement. The natural reaction to and result of that is frustration, often times leading to the breaking point where the person struggling with the learning challenge just wants to give up.
There is no reason to label anyone ‘slow,’ ‘lazy,’ or anything else – that’s just derogatory and unproductive. Our goal at Waystone is to use universally recognized methods and assessments to diagnose the learning challenge(s) that a client is facing, then provide resources for that person to get better.
The way to overcome these challenges – like any challenge in life – is to do the work. So by coming to Waystone you’ll have the means to work hard and ‘apply yourself’ in the right ways, helping you overcome your challenges and become a more productive, successful and contented person.
