At Nadine Crain Counselling, my mission is to provide a supportive and safe environment for couples & individuals seeking to improve their mental well-being & relationships.

I’m Nadine. I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Counselling Therapist and ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider who works with individuals, couples and families. I am passionate about helping Christian women improve their mental health, relationships and view of self.

I offer in-person, online and walk and talk sessions which take place on a trail. My walk and talk sessions happen at Mill Creek Ravine.

Other areas I am experienced in working with clients are:

-anxiety

-ADHD

-healing relationship with self

-family relationships

-past trauma

-working through hurt or betrayal in relationships

-working through grief

-sexual shame

-the negative impact of purity culture

Whether you are coming to counselling as an individual or as a couple, my goal is to provide a safe space for your story and experience to be seen, heard and honoured. I make it a priority to help my clients feel comfortable and safe because I know it is not an easy thing to come to counselling and be vulnerable with a stranger. I am honoured every time I can hold space for the story my clients are living and working through.

The drama of love is all about this hunger for safe emotional connection, a survival imperative we experience from the cradle to the grave. Loving connection is the only safety nature ever offers us.
— Dr. Sue Johnson, Founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy

I believe therapy should be a space where individuals can feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions, so that can begin to find safety again.

I believe in the importance of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where clients and therapists work together to set meaningful goals. My commitment to confidentiality and professionalism aims for every session to build trust and security, allowing for genuine exploration and healing.

I value diversity and respect the unique backgrounds and experiences of each client. I am here to support you on your journey toward healthier relationships with yourself, God & others.

My goal is to provide a safe space for your story and for you to experience to be seen, heard and validated.

I provide in-person sessions, online sessions and outdoor walk and talk sessions. Contact me for a free consultation to find out more about what our work together could look like.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) draws primarily from attachment theory to facilitate the creation of a secure, vibrant connection with self and others. EFT helps clients identify and transform the negative processing and interaction patterns that create distress. It’s effective in helping issues from marital distress to individual anxiety and trauma.
