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.

🧠 Therapy isn’t just for when things fall apart. Norfolk psychotherapist Avril Ferguson encourages “maintenance therapy”—proactive mental health care to stay connected, build resilience, and grow before crisis hits. 💬

“Therapy isn’t about being broken. It’s about being brave.”

ANNOUNCEMENT 🔈🔈🔈
It feels fitting that on the first day of Maternal Mental Health Month, I get to share something deeply meaningful.

Introducing Norfolk Perinatal & Parenting Institute — a new division of Norfolk County Counselling & Psychotherapy, created to meet the growing need for specialized care, training, and support during the perinatal period and early parenthood.

This isn’t just a professional milestone — it’s personal. As a survivor of a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder, I know how vital it is to be seen, held, and supported by your provider.

This new venture is about:
– Supporting families
– Training clinicians
– Advancing care

Because no one should have to walk this path alone — and no clinician should feel unprepared to support them.

Follow along and .over.mother — because we’re just getting started.

Being a step-parent can be beautiful — and brutal.

You’re navigating love, loyalty binds, new family dynamics, and often, a quiet emotional load that goes unseen. You might feel like you’re giving everything… while still wondering if you’re “too much” or “not enough.”

Let’s talk about it.
Step-parenting is real parenting. And it deserves real support.

At Norfolk County Counselling & Psychotherapy, we hold space for the complex, the messy, and the deeply meaningful parts of blended family life. Whether you’re struggling with boundaries, burnout, resentment, or just want a space to say the hard stuff out loud — we’re here.

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Thinking about going solo right after graduation?

You could… but here’s why starting in a group practice might be the smarter move.

From built-in supervision to peer support, being surrounded by other therapists early in your career helps you grow faster, avoid isolation, and focus on becoming the best clinician you can be—before juggling the business side of private practice.

Let’s normalize starting your career with support. You don’t have to do it all alone.
