Depression Counselling in Alberta

When you’re struggling with depression, even the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming. Your energy may be low, your motivation might fade, and everything can feel like “too much.” You might find yourself withdrawing, feeling numb, or moving through the day on autopilot.

Depression is not a personal failure.
It’s a sign that your mind and body are asking for support — and therapy can help you find your way forward.

At Petals to Wings Counselling, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, understand your patterns, and learn tools to help you feel more grounded and connected again.

Depression counselling supports healing by helping you understand what’s beneath the heaviness — and offering structured skills to navigate it.

We explore the emotional, environmental, and relational factors contributing to how you feel.

Using CBT, we gently challenge the thoughts that keep you stuck in cycles of hopelessness or self-criticism.

Through DBT and mindfulness, we work on calming your internal world so you feel less overwhelmed.

We focus on rediscovering what brings you purpose, joy, and a sense of personal identity.

You learn tools you can use outside sessions to support your mood, energy, and overall wellbeing.

Your sessions are shaped around your pace — never rushed, never pushed beyond what feels safe.

A typical session may include:

• Understanding your weekly emotional patterns
• Naming feelings without judgment
• Learning grounding skills for difficult moments
• Exploring how past experiences influence your present
• Reconnecting with strengths, values, and personal needs
• Building small, doable steps toward emotional balance

I combine evidence-based and holistic strategies with genuine warmth and curiosity.
My approach includes:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Gestalt Therapy
• EMDR

Together, we create a plan that aligns with your goals, your personality, and what you’re ready for.

People often come to therapy when they experience:

• Persistent sadness or heaviness
• Emotional numbness or difficulty feeling joy
• Fatigue, low motivation, or burnout
• Irritability or feeling emotionally “flat”
• Feeling disconnected from themselves or others
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
• Overwhelm during life transitions

Your experience is valid — and it’s welcome here.

Depression can make the world feel small and dim, but support can help you feel lighter, clearer, and more connected over time.
Therapy gives you a space to breathe, reflect, and gently rebuild your sense of self.
