Individual Counselling
in London, Ontario
Why Individual Therapy?
We recognize that taking the first step is not easy. We understand that life can be challenging. It can be difficult to navigate emotions and confront experiences on our own and there seems to be many blocks to seeking therapy. We make it our mission to create a safe, non judgemental, person-centred environment where you can learn to feel comfortable exploring and sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings.
Our Approach
At Talking Works, we provide compassionate online individual counselling to clients in London Ontario and surrounding areas, helping you navigate life’s challenges, improve your mental health, and build a stronger relationship with yourself. We meet you where you are, whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, and tailor our approach to your unique needs and goals.
We draw from a variety of evidence-based therapy approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), internal family systems (IFS), and solution-focused therapy (SFT), to provide the right support at the right time. Our goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered so you can move forward with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Individual Therapy
What can individual counselling help with?
Individual counselling can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, and major life changes. Your counsellor will work with you to understand your needs and develop an approach that fits your goals.
How do I know if I need individual counselling?
You may benefit from individual counselling if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, low, or struggling to cope with a difficult situation. You don’t need to be in crisis to seek counselling as many people use it to better understand themselves, manage challenges, and improve their overall well-being.
How long does individual counselling take?
The length of individual counselling varies depending on your needs, concerns, and goals. Some people benefit from short-term counselling over several sessions, while others choose longer-term support. Your counsellor can discuss a treatment plan with you and adjust it as you progress.
How many counselling sessions will I need?
There is no set number of counselling sessions that works for everyone. The number of sessions you may need depends on your goals, the concerns you’re experiencing, and how you respond to treatment. Your counsellor can review your progress with you throughout the process.
How do I choose the right counsellor for me?
Look for a counsellor who has experience with the concerns you want to address and whose approach feels comfortable for you. A strong sense of trust and connection can be an important part of successful counselling, so it’s okay to ask questions before deciding whether a counsellor is the right fit.
What is the price of individual counselling?
Each one-on-one counselling appointment costs $155 and lasts 50 minutes. That time belongs entirely to you, giving you room to explore what’s on your mind, work through challenges, and set goals with a counsellor who is focused on your needs.
