One of the things we hear the most in session is the ways people REGRET behaving… The ways people automatically react when they’re triggered, when they’re spread too thin, or moving too fast.

The critical thing to remember is that we often react to others - our children, our spouse, our parents, the way we react to ourselves.

When you mess up - how do you talk to yourself?

Do you take a deep breath and envelop yourself into a self-hug, with the reminder that “mistakes happen?”

Or do you snap, call yourself names, or fly off the handle?

Dr. Becky Kennedy introduces the saying “we can’t give out what we can’t give IN.”

This is a reminder that when we set ourselves up to be regulated and self-compassionate, we set ourselves up to be better co-regulators and bearers of compassion for those around us. ❤️

Taking care of yourself through reflective practices, movement, or therapy is a great first step!

Hi! Hello! 👋🏼🥰🫶🏼

We have a few new followers and wanted to take a moment to re-introduce ourselves!

Although it is extremely difficult to sum any one human up, we are starting a series where we will introduce one of our therapists weekly!

This way you can get to know us, and see who may be a fit for you!

For more immediate information on all of us, visit www.consciouscounsellingandwellness.com 💻

Kicking off our series, we have our founder, Sara Mackie!

Sara is currently accepting a small number of people onto her waitlist specifically for EMDR therapy.

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy) is a structured psychotherapy method designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic events and distressing life experiences. It involved focusing on a traumatic memory while simultaneously while experiencing bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, which helps reduce emotional intensity and vividness of the memory.

It you are interested in booking with Sara, email us at referralccw@gmail.com

“What are we reading?” is back in 2026! Kicking off with a book our dear Jocelyn is reading, Read This When Everything Falls Apart. ❤️

This is a book of letters to activists when times are exceptionally hard. It has been called an “antidote to despair” and a “survival guide for the heart.”

Have you read it?

We really, really, really want to hear from you! ❤️

TAAAADAAAAAAA🎶🎶🎶✨

We know it seems like your therapist seems to drop this one a lot!! Like.. a lot, a lot!

It’s not fruitless, we promise.

Self-compassion is the single antidote to one of the most difficult emotional experiences we have as humans, shame.

Shame shuts us down and/or sends up spinning toward a threat response! It stops us from thinking clearly, problem solving, and being fair to ourselves and others.

Self-compassion asks us to be an ally to ourselves.

To pause. Notice. Calm. Evaluate more fairly.

How do you practice self-compassion?

Sharing laughs and tears alike in this safe space we have built together as colleagues is one of my greatest honours.

Like porcupines in winter, we long for warmth and closeness—but sometimes, getting close brings discomfort. Our quills (our habits, defenses, old wounds) can hurt the ones we need most. But connection is how we survive—and how we awaken. 🦔
⠀
Where are you pulling away to avoid discomfort? What might open if you stayed?

Happy Winter Solstice 🩵🫶🏼✨The shortest day, and longest night of the year!

The earth gifts us with many opportunities to see ourselves.

May you take a moment to embrace all of you, the light and dark.

And to be reassured that after many dark nights, we always cycle back into the light.

The Story & Approach

Sara Mackie, MSW, RSW, CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional)

Sara is a clinically trained Social Worker and Counsellor with a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Waterloo, a Bachelor degree in Social Work from Dalhousie University, and a Bachelor of Arts specializing in the fields of Psychology and Sociology from Mount Allison University.

Sara has a strong background in crisis management, resource management, trauma-informed care and various therapeutic schools of thought from her experience working with victims of intimate partner violence, survivors of mental health challenges and eating disorders, and individuals navigating social welfare systems.

Sara returned to Fredericton in 2017 where she had the amazing opportunities of working with Liberty Lane Inc., and Haven for Hope Counselling Centre. These experiences among others lead Sara to pursue her ultimate goal of opening her own counselling business. Through doing this, Sara hopes that Conscious Counselling and Wellness offers a safe, nonjudgemental, and healing space to her community.
