Counselling and Psychotherapy

Are you looking for support navigating challenging health events?

Have you been struggling to find health care providers that understand your health symptoms and needs?

When experiencing chronic health events without a clear path to recovery, it can be disheartening, stressful and anxiety provoking. At Stillspace, we understand that making sense of your health experience is important. We are here to help you build resilience and confidence in your recovery journey, even if you have not yet found the answers to your health challenges.

Let's Talk

What Is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is talk-based therapy intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. In the Province of Ontario, Canada, Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) are authorized to perform the controlled act of psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy occurs when the RP and a consenting client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship, where they work together to bring forth positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and their ability to enjoy life. For more information, please visit the College Of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario's website.
