McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling

What you say here, stays here.

Therapy is one of the few places in your life where you don’t have to filter, perform, or protect anyone else.
No judgment.

No sharing your story outside the room.
No “this will get back to someone.”
Just space that’s yours.

Because feeling safe isn’t a bonus in therapy…
it’s the foundation of it.

(And yes we’ll always walk you through the limits of confidentiality so you know exactly what that means.)

Meet Peter!

Sometimes the patterns we rely on to protect ourselves… are the very ones keeping us stuck.

Peter works with individuals (16+) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and those “why do I keep ending up here?” moments.

His approach is grounded in helping you slow things down and understand what’s underneath the emotions, experiences, and stories that haven’t had the space to be processed yet. Because those reactions? They didn’t come out of nowhere.

And they’re not random.

Together, you’ll gently make sense of them, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Think of it like learning to swim in waters that once felt overwhelming…but with someone right there beside you.

We’re really glad he’s here 🤍

EMDR helps your brain reprocess experiences that never got the chance to fully land,so they stop showing up as anxiety, overwhelm, or that “why am I like this?” feeling.

You don’t have to have all the words.
You don’t have to go into every detail.
You just have to be willing to start.

It’s less about talking it through…and more about letting your brain do what it already knows how to do.

And honestly? That’s where things start to shift.

In November, we cut the big red ribbon with the big scissors ✂️

And opened the doors to our new space at 42 Front St.

This space was built with intention. For the people who walk in seeking care, and for the people who hold the work every day.

We value high-quality therapy - clinicians who are well-trained, supported, and given the space to do their best work. Because the people holding the work matter just as much as the people receiving it.

We value care that starts the moment you walk through the door, in a space that feels calm, intentional, and welcoming.

Every room, every detail was built with that in mind, so therapy could begin the moment you walk through the door.

For clients. For clinicians. For the work itself.

Thank you for the support to our friends and / / for helping us celebrate in such an unexpected way.

Thank you for capturing such a great day.

Cheers,
Nicole
