Professional Counselling and Psychotherapy in Kanata and Ottawa

Evidence-based therapy for individuals, couples, and families — delivered by Registered Psychotherapists committed to your well-being. Our Kanata clinic serves clients across Ottawa, Stittsville, Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood, Carp, Carleton Place, and the broader Ottawa region, with secure online therapy available to anyone in Ontario.

Our Practice in Kanata and Ottawa

Life Seasons Counselling is a private psychotherapy practice based in Kanata, serving individuals, couples, and families from across Ottawa and surrounding communities including Stittsville, Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood, Carp, Carleton Place, and downtown Ottawa. Every session is delivered by a Registered Psychotherapist in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), which means you are working with a regulated health professional held to enforceable clinical and ethical standards. We offer in-person sessions at our office on Kakulu Road and secure video sessions to clients anywhere in Ontario.

Our Evidence-Based Approach

Our approach is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy modalities — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method for couples, and attachment-based work — chosen flexibly based on what you are actually working on. We do not impose a single framework on every client. Instead, we listen carefully to what is happening in your life, help you understand the patterns underneath, and build a plan that addresses the right layers in the right order. Clients consistently tell us this flexibility is what makes therapy here feel different from past experiences.

Who We Help in Ottawa and Beyond

The concerns clients bring to our Ottawa-area practice are wide-ranging: anxiety treatment, depression therapy, marriage and couples counselling, ADHD support for adults, stress therapy and burnout recovery, sex therapy, anger management, grief and loss, trauma-informed work, and the broader questions of identity, meaning, and life transition that almost everyone eventually wrestles with. We work with clients across every stage of adulthood, from young adults navigating early-career and early-relationship decisions to empty nesters redefining life after the kids leave home. LGBTQ+ clients and couples are welcome, and our team works with bilingual, newcomer, and neurodivergent clients as a matter of course rather than as a specialty.

Accessible and Affordable Psychotherapy

Most extended health benefit plans in Ontario cover psychotherapy delivered by a Registered Psychotherapist, and we provide detailed receipts immediately after each session so reimbursement is straightforward. For clients without benefits coverage, or those whose coverage has run out, we talk openly about realistic options during the free consultation — the goal is to remove as many obstacles as possible so that people who need support can actually get it. Our junior therapist, Arden Sabourin (Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying), offers sessions at $160 with a limited number of reduced-fee, sliding-scale spots available, helping make quality psychotherapy in Ottawa more accessible for clients on tighter budgets.

If you have been thinking about therapy for a while, a free 20-minute consultation is the easiest way to take the first step. There is no cost, no commitment, and no pressure to continue afterward. We will listen to what is going on, answer any questions you have about how we work, and give you an honest read on whether our approach to counselling in Ottawa is likely to help. If we are not the right fit, we will point you toward someone who is.

What Sessions Look Like

Sessions are fifty minutes long and are delivered either in person at our Kanata office or through a secure HIPAA-compliant video platform. Most clients start weekly or biweekly and transition to longer intervals as progress consolidates. There is no minimum number of sessions required — we work on the problem in front of us and finish when the work is done. We coordinate with family physicians and psychiatrists when medication is part of the picture, and we provide referrals to assessment services when a deeper evaluation would serve a client better than ongoing talk therapy alone.

Confidentiality and Privacy

Everything you say in session stays in session, with the narrow legal exceptions every Registered Psychotherapist must follow (imminent risk to self or others, disclosure of abuse involving a minor, court-ordered release of records). We do not share information with family members, employers, or insurance providers without your explicit written consent. For clients who are concerned about privacy — whether because of a high-profile role, a sensitive personal situation, or simply a preference for discretion — we take extra care with scheduling, records, and communication. Your therapy is yours, and we treat it accordingly.
