Kingsway Counselling

Kingsway Counselling We understand that living with anxiety, depression, trauma or other mental health issues can be very challenging.

Our areas of focus are depression and anxiety counselling, trauma for individuals, couples therapy, family therapy and child therapy. Formerly operated as Cynthia Veniot & Associates. Cynthia has grown her team of Licensed Therapists and added a new location in the Simply for Life building on Rothesay Ave, Saint John. The growth has created a need for a change in name for the business - 'Kingsway Counselling'. We have offices in Quispamsis and Saint John + offering virtual appointments. Since our name is close to another church in the area we wanted the public to know that Kingsway Counselling is not affiliated with a church or religion. Our two main specialties are depression and anxiety counselling, however, we also work consistently in marriage counselling, family counselling, children counselling, trauma counselling, PTSD counselling, and life transitions.

For this week’s Thrive Thursday, we’re slowing things down and stepping outside.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the walk itself, it’s finding the energy to begin. So when you do make it outside, take a moment to notice how that feels. That little spark of energy, that deep breath, that’s your body thanking you.

Walk & Talk Therapy combines traditional talk therapy with the soothing rhythm of movement and nature. The peaceful outdoor setting becomes part of the healing process, helping many people feel calmer, more open, and grounded before the session even begins.

If this sounds like something you need, you can book a session with Jacqueline by visiting our website.

Every child has seasons of growth, and some seasons come with big emotions.
In child therapy, we help little ones make sense of those feelings so they can grow with confidence, empathy, and resilience.

November is National Family Caregivers Month

This month, we honour the caregivers who give so much of themselves every day. Your patience, strength, and love make a difference, even on days when it feels exhausting.

It’s okay to admit it’s hard. It’s okay to take a moment for yourself. Caregiving doesn’t have to mean carrying everything alone.

Thank you to all caregivers for the quiet, daily acts of care that often go unseen. You are seen. You are valued.

✨ Helping Little Hearts Grow Stronger ✨

Every child deserves to feel understood, supported, and confident in who they are. 💛

If your little one has been struggling with big emotions at home, challenges at school, or just not seeming like themselves lately, you don’t have to face it alone.

At Kingsway Counselling, our compassionate Child Therapist Deanna Duff works with kids ages 4 and up, using play, creativity, and connection to help them find their voice, build confidence, and navigate their feelings in a healthy way.

Deanna creates a space where children feel safe, seen, and supported, often through play, stories, and connection. 🌈💬

Let’s make life a little lighter, for them, and for you.

Caring for someone you love can take everything out of you, your time, your energy, even your sense of self. You give so much, often without pause, because that’s what love does. But over time, even the strongest caregivers can begin to feel worn down, unseen, or alone in what they carry.

In our latest blog, we share more about our six-week caregiver support group.

“This group is designed to provide you with the support, tools, and community you may not even realize you’ve been missing.”

If this sounds like what you’ve been needing, we’d love to have you join us!

When: Thursday at 5:00 p.m. starting November 6
Where: Kingsway Counselling

This is the kind of group so many of us wish had existed when we first started caring for someone we love who was struggling.

Because no one really prepares you for the exhaustion that can come with constantly being “the strong one” or the guilt you feel when you need space because helping has started to feel heavy. It can get lonely when you’re supporting someone and no one else really gets it.

Over six weeks, The Care You Give will help you explore practical tools and emotional strategies for supporting your loved ones while maintaining your own wellbeing. You’ll gain insight, build resilience, and connect with others who truly understand what it means to care deeply for someone else.

Led by Stephanie Melanson, this small, supportive group offers a safe space to share, learn, and feel less alone in your caregiving journey.

Start date: Thursday, November 6th at 5:00 p.m.
Duration: 6 weeks, 90 minutes per session
Fee: $70 per session (insurance receipts provided weekly)
Location: Kingsway Counselling, 643 Rothesay Avenue, Saint John

You give so much. You deserve care, too.
