River’s Edge Counselling & Renewal

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), we work collaboratively with you to build insight, identify practical steps, and foster resilience.

CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, empowering you to shift unhelpful patterns and regain a sense of balance.
SFBT focuses on your strengths, goals, and what’s working — allowing you to take meaningful steps forward, often more quickly than you thought possible.

Together, these approaches are designed to help you build capacity in your daily life — equipping you not just to cope, but to grow through whatever life brings.

Who We Work With

We specialize in working with individuals aged 15 and up, including teens, young adults, and adults who are:

Struggling with anxiety or depression
Navigating life transitions or academic stress
Experiencing low self-esteem or burnout
Feeling stuck and unsure of their next steps

Whether you're seeking short-term support or ongoing guidance, our work is always guided by your goals and pace.
