Joy on the Journey Counselling Services

Joy on the Journey Counselling Services Counselling services to help you break free from anxiety and rediscover joy in life. Hello! I'm glad you are here. I’m Sara.

I would describe myself as warm and authentic. Deep, authentic connections energize me. With my own lived mental health experience I find it a privilege to support others move towards rediscovering joy in life. When you meet me you’ll find someone who gets it. I am passionate about meeting clients right where they are in life. Creating a safe place for them to process their story without fear of j

udgment. I believe clients are the experts of their own life, and I actively support them in gaining awareness of their own inner resources, strengths, and patterns of functioning. It’s a privilege to support my counselling clients to become kinder with themselves, so they are free to be who they are at their core. When I’m not having meaningful connections with clients I value spending time in nature: hiking, gardening, breathing. I am married to my best friend, and together we have 3 fantastic kids. If you come to my house, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen. I love feeding my family all kinds of home-cooked goodness.

Did you know that listening to birds and noticing the beauty around you can support your mental health?

The rush and hurry of our culture can push our nervous system into survival mode — fight, flight, or freeze.

But slowing down…
Listening to birds chirping.
Smelling the flowers in bloom.
Feeling the breeze.

These small moments can help signal safety to the body and gently shift us toward rest, connection, and calm.

Sometimes healing begins with simply paying attention to the world around you.

I love this reminder!

Don't let your anxiety tell the full story. Disqualifying the positive is a thinking trap. When you notice yourself in this thinking trap, try this question to help you get out:

"What am I grateful for today, and what did I do to help make that happen?"

ADHD in kids isn’t just about focus, it can impact confidence, emotions, and how they see themselves.

They might be thinking things like:
“I’m always in trouble.”
“I can’t do this.”
“Why is this so hard for me?”

Over time, those thoughts can really stick.

Counselling can help children understand how their brain works, build tools for focus and big emotions, and start to feel more confident in themselves again. Your child isn’t broken, they may just need support that fits how they learn and experience the world.

If you’ve been wondering whether your child might need a little extra support, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Reaching out can be a simple first step toward getting the right kind of help.

Meet Alicia!

She is warm, engaging, and thoughtful. People often share that they feel comfortable with her very quickly, and she brings patience and genuine care to the families she works with.

If you know a child or family who could benefit from extra support—whether around emotions, behavior, school challenges, or navigating a neurodivergent diagnosis—please feel free to reach out. We'd love to help get you connected and answer any questions you may have.

Sessions with Alicia are offered at a reduced rate while she completes her internship. Feel free to message me directly or share this post with someone who might benefit.
