About Us

The Little Way Wellness and Counselling was born out of a mutual passion for providing a service with integrity. We wanted the care we offered to be in complete alignment with our authentic selves and the holistic, multi-faceted needs of our community. Our goal is to have people experience healing and wellness in whatever way/ways are more relevant to them. We are dedicated to be as inclusive, trauma-informed and barrier free as possible. 

 

Our passion for people, community and heart-centered work brought us together; witnessing the growth and grace bestowed upon the business has sustained them. 

 

Vanessa and Tamara offer integrative counselling services for individuals and families, as well as holistic-wellness services like Reiki, Hypnotherapy, EMDR, Intuitive Development, Nutrition Counselling, Vedic Therapies and Group Facilitation and Classes.

About Vanessa

MA, RCC, BScN, PFT

I am a registered clinical counsellor (RCC#22922) who provides individual and family counselling online or in-person. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and worked as a Registered Nurse for 12 years with extensive experience in adult and youth mental health, substance use, women’s health and sexual violence/domestic abuse. Majority of the clients (primarily women) I work with are managing trauma, situational crisis or relational/family concerns. I focus on an inter-personal and humanistic approach within a blend of cognitive, emotional, psychodynamic, somatic and spiritual modalities that are used dependant on my client’s needs. Counselling is an intuitive process that requires a therapist to remain attuned and compassionate at all times. I am also trained in Reiki (master-level), nutritional/eating behaviour therapies and movement coaching. A session with me is a safe space to explore the spiritual, physical, emotional and mental components of yourself so you can receive insights (typically early on in sessions), deepen your own intuition and experience enhanced self-awareness/growth.

 

Participating in counselling is a vulnerable process, not just because of the depth of yourself you show to someone else, but because you are also unveiling the truth to yourself. Every action or belief you carry is rooted in an attempt to care for yourself, even if you hate it now. My job is to remind you of your core goodness.

About Tamara

MA, RCC, CHt.

I am a registered clinical counsellor (RCC #17986) and certified Hypnotherapist (CHt). I work primarily with women and young adults (ages 18 and up) doing my best to create a safe and comfortable space for healing, growth and empowerment. My approach is client-centred and humanistic. I believe in the body and mind’s natural ability to heal and re-align itself and that we all have within ourselves the capacity to be resilient and resourceful; my role is to help guide you to re-connect with those inner resources. In addition to hypnotherapy, I have basic training in EMDR.  A session with me often involves a blend of modern and ancient Eastern practices such as Guided Meditations, Jyotisha and Human Design, integrated with modern approaches such as Cognitive Therapy, DBT skills, and EMDR.  If you are feeling ready to take even a small step forward on your healing journey, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
