Guided by qualified professionals, our team of helping-relationship therapists in Montréal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal, in Boucherville, or online (via videoconference), offers valuable support to improve your psychological well-being.

What is Support Counselling Therapy?

Support Counselling Therapy is based on a person-centred approach. Its goal is to foster inner transformation through a therapeutic relationship built on trust and active listening. 

This method focuses on human interactions and personal growth, enabling individuals to build more authentic and harmonious relationships with themselves and others.

Why Consult a Support Counselling Therapist?

A Support Counselling Therapist can address a variety of issues, including:

• Relational Difficulties: Resolving personal, family, marital, or professional conflicts. Helping couples navigate challenges, whether to avoid separation (saving the relationship) or to find the courage to choose separation.

• Grief and Loss Management: Providing support during difficult times after the loss of a loved one or a breakup.
  
  
• Depression and Anxiety: Helping manage stress, negative thoughts, or panic attacks.
  
  
• Confidence and Self-Esteem: Rebuilding a positive self-image and asserting oneself in personal and professional choices.
  
  
• Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress: Soothing the emotional impacts of significant life events.
  
  
• Personal Growth: Exploring your values, ambitions, and dreams to help you achieve your goals.

What is a Support Counselling Therapist?

Most helping-relationship therapists are trained to offer support based on the Creative Non-Directive Approach (ANDC), developed by Colette Portelance.

The therapists at COEUR EN MAIN, most of whom are graduates of the Centre de Relation d’Aide de Montréal (CRAM), rely on this method to create an authentic and transformative relational space.

Psychologist, Psychotherapist, or Support Counselling Therapist: What Are the Differences?

If you're unsure whether to consult a psychologist, psychotherapist, or support counselling therapist, it's important to understand their specificities:

• Psychologists hold a doctorate in psychology and are members of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ). They can make diagnoses and practise psychotherapy, meaning they provide psychological treatment

• Psychotherapists hold a permit issued by the OPQ and a master’s degree in a field related to mental health and human relations. They can also practise psychotherapy, but they do not make diagnoses.

• Support Counselling Therapist provide emotional and psychological support based on listening and the therapeutic relationship, without conducting psychotherapy in the strict sense.

Each of these mental and emotional health professionals offers a unique approach tailored to the specific needs of each individual.

Why Choose Support Counselling Therapy?

Choosing a Support Counselling Therapist provides you with an intimate and safe space where you can explore your emotions deeply. Whether you're looking to manage a period of intense stress, improve your relationships, or better understand yourself, this humanistic approach is a powerful tool for moving towards well-being and manifest the best of yourself.

What matters most is choosing a professional who inspires trust. An authentic and warm relationship is the key to successful support. Let your intuition guide you toward the Support Counselling Therapist, psychologist, or psychotherapist who will accompany you on your journey of inner transformation.
