Perinatal mental health is not a niche topic. It is a public health priority that shapes prevention, resilience, and lifelong wellbeing for families and communities.

At GXC Online 2025: Mental Health Without Borders, I will be speaking on “Perinatal Mental Health, The Most Urgent Public Health Priority You Are Not Talking About,” with a focus on practical, system aware strategies you can bring into your own setting.

If you are a therapist, educator, health provider, or advocate who works with parents, babies, or families at any point along the perinatal journey, I would love to see you there.

An evening rooted in purpose, community, and women supporting women.

So proud to stand behind Haldimand-Norfolk Women’s Services — an organization that continues to do such vital work in our community.

Their cause is one we believe in deeply, and it was an honour for Norfolk County Counselling to be part of an evening that uplifts and empowers local women.

We are especially grateful to the incredible women who joined our table — old friends, new friends, and some of the biggest supporters of this work and of each other. Your presence, laughter, and solidarity mean so much.

And a huge thank-you to Devlin’s for the amazing food — as always, absolutely perfect.

If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to check out and support these amazing local businesses and organizations doing good work right here in Haldimand-Norfolk:

Hi Mental Health Providers!

I’m opening up a Psychodynamic & Relational Group Supervision series this fall, and I’d love to invite you to join. 🌿

🕰 When:
Monthly on Fridays, 12:15 – 2:15 PM (Virtual)
October 17
November 28
December 19
💰 Investment: $300 total for 3 sessions (6 hours) ($100 per group)
✔ Meets CRPO supervision requirements
✔ Maximum 8 participants for a supportive, collaborative space
Why choose this group?

✨ My approach to supervision is grounded in a psychodynamic & relational lens — meaning we go beyond techniques to really reflect on the deeper dynamics of the work, and your own experience as a therapist.

✨ I bring my experience as a Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, and educator, with years of mentoring placement students and supporting new grads.

✨ My teaching background (Laurier Continuing Education, perinatal mental health, supervision groups) helps me create a space that is structured, reflective, and empowering — while always being supportive and down-to-earth.

If you’re an RP, RP(Q), MSW, or new grad looking for a place to grow in confidence and deepen your practice, this group could be a wonderful fit. 🌱

📩 Send me an email to register — spaces are limited (max 8 participants).

After months (and months!) of dreaming, planning, and late-night logistics… we’re expanding again 💛

We now have 7 beautiful therapy rooms at Norfolk County Counselling, we’ve officially launched our sister clinic Northwell Counselling to serve Northern and remote communities, AND we’re in the process of adding a Nurse Practitioner to our team 🩺

This growth means more support, more access, and more ways to meet you and your family where you’re at — with care that’s rooted right here in Norfolk.

We love this community, and we’re so proud to keep showing up for it.

🚨 We’re expanding. 💻And not just services — but access, equity, and community-rooted care.

Introducing Northwell Counselling — the northern, rural & remote division of Norfolk County Counselling & Psychotherapy.

This isn’t just business growth. It’s personal.

“I have lived in Northern Ontario. I’ve lived in remote, fly-in communities in British Columbia.
And I know firsthand what it’s like to be hours from care. To have nowhere to turn.
To feel like mental health support is a luxury reserved for people in the city.” - Avril Ferguson, Registered Psychotherapist, Founder/ CEO

Northwell is our answer to that.

📍Serving Northern, Rural and Remote Ontario
💻 Offering virtual therapy across the province
🧠 Individual • Couples • Family
🌱 Trauma-informed | Ethical | Relationship-based

Built on the same values that guide Norfolk County Counselling, Northwell exists to make real therapy available to people who’ve gone without for far too long.

For every person who’s been told, “We don’t have that service here.”

For every caregiver, teen, couple, and individual trying to cope in silence.

You’re not forgotten. You’re not invisible. And you deserve care that gets it.

Follow along to meet our team, explore services, and join us as we build something that rural communities can call their own.

Because your location should never be a barrier to healing.
