Counselling Services Edmonton

A Safe Space to Heal, Recover, and Grow

Life can become overwhelming—whether because of trauma, addiction, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional struggles that don’t seem to go away. When patterns feel impossible to break and the weight feels too heavy to carry alone, counselling becomes more than support—it becomes a lifeline.

At Sorobey Psychology, our counselling services in Edmonton are designed to meet you exactly where you are. We provide trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy that helps you understand your emotions, process difficult experiences, and rebuild your life with confidence and clarity.

Therapy is not about “fixing” you—because you are not broken.

It’s about helping you heal, understand yourself, and develop the tools to live with strength, balance, and resilience.

Who Our Counselling Services Are For

People seek counselling for many reasons, and every reason is valid.

Our counselling services in Edmonton support:

Adults struggling with stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
Individuals recovering from addiction or substance use issues
People healing from trauma, abuse, or painful memories
Professionals experiencing burnout or workplace stress
Families navigating conflict or communication breakdown
Partners or parents supporting a loved one in addiction
Individuals experiencing grief, loss, or major life transitions
Anyone who wants to understand themselves better and feel more grounded

No concern is too big, too small, or too complex.

Your healing deserves a safe place to begin.

A Trauma-Informed Approach

Everything we do at Sorobey Psychology is trauma-informed.

This means:

We don’t judge.
We don’t push or pressure.
We recognize that behaviour is often rooted in pain, not weakness.
We focus on safety, trust, and emotional regulation first.

Our approach helps clients feel supported—not shamed—while working through difficult topics. Whether your trauma is known, hidden, or something you struggle to name, we meet you with compassion, patience, and skill.

What to Expect in Counselling

Counselling isn’t a scripted process. It’s tailored to your goals, your pace, and your lived experience. But to help you understand what the journey looks like, here’s what most clients experience:

Step 1: The First Session – Building Safety & Understanding

We begin by listening—without judgment, pressure, or expectation. This session is about understanding your story, your goals, and the struggles you’re facing.

Step 2: Personalized Treatment
Plan

Together, we’ll set goals and choose approaches that fit your needs and personality. You’ll always know what we’re working on and why.

Step 3: Evidence-Based
Therapy Techniques

Mary Sorobey integrates multiple approaches, including:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Mindfulness and emotional regulation
Relapse prevention strategies
Attachment-based and relational therapy
Trauma processing modalities

Your journey is not one-size-fits-all. We choose methods that work for you.

Step 4: Growth, Awareness
& Emotional Healing

Over time, you’ll begin to:

Identify triggers and emotional patterns
Build healthier boundaries
Strengthen self-esteem
Regulate overwhelming emotions
Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve communication
Develop healthier habits and coping skills

Step 5: Ongoing Support & Long-Term Stability

Therapy isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about staying better. We help you build habits and perspectives that last long after sessions end.

Trauma Counselling

Trauma can shape how you think, feel, and respond to the world.

Our trauma counselling provides a safe, structured space to process painful experiences without judgment or pressure.

Using evidence-based methods—including ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), CBT, and grounding techniques—we help you understand your emotional responses, regain a sense of safety, and rebuild trust in yourself and others.

Whether you are healing from childhood trauma, abuse, loss, or ongoing emotional stress, our sessions support long-term recovery, resilience, and emotional stability.

You don’t have to carry these memories alone; we walk with you through every step of healing.
