We provide online and in-person counselling therapy services to individuals, couples, and families, living throughout Nova Scotia, who feel stuck struggling with negative thoughts, worries, distressing memories, strong feelings, urges, and relationship issues.

In therapy, our clients feel heard, understood, and respected.   They talk about and work on the issues and concerns most important to them.   Regardless of the suffering they may be experiencing, at Local Solutions, we assume all clients have the potential to live well, and as collaborative, trauma-informed, strengths, values, and action-oriented counselling therapists, we help clients struggle less with suffering, and do more of what they value most in life.  

Our counselling therapists are skilled, and draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, but most often integrate aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solutions Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Regardless of the therapeutic modalities or techniques used, our focus is helping clients struggle less with unwanted thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations, urges, and relationship issues, so they are able to be more of the person they want to be.  

As humans we all suffer from worries, negative thoughts, distressing memories, and relationship issues from time to time.  Often we can feel as though we are stuck, overwhelmed, like nothing we try to remedy the suffering helps.  Sometimes it even seems like the stuff we are doing just makes things worse. Local Solutions Counselling Therapy helps clients feel less stuck, more motivated, and empowered to live the life they want for themselves.
