Refresh Counselling

09/10/2025

Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary. At Refresh Counselling, we’re just humans showing up for other humans. 💚

We’re parents who juggle schedules. Partners who argue over what movie to watch. Coffee lovers who drink way too much some days. We coach soccer, climb rocks, binge Netflix, read books late at night, play video games, and daydream about the weekend.

In other words — we get it, because we live it too.
And that’s why we care so deeply about helping you feel seen, heard, and understood.

While resentment is a typical feeling among people, it doesn't have to define our lives forever. Instead, it can serve as a powerful motivator for significant self-improvement, paving the way to achieve greater inner peace and comprehension. Moving through and past feelings of resentment can improve mental well-being and lead to a richer, more satisfying existence. Adopting a positive and anticipatory outlook on this journey can change how we connect with our history, our self-identity, and those around us.

BINGO!

I love this illustration by showing the reality of therapy vs the expectation of therapy.

The reality of going to therapy is that healing and growth is a process. There will be ups and downs. Embrace it all with compassion 🤍
