About Create PAUSE Counselling & Wellness
Offers compassionate, evidence-informed therapy and restorative wellness support for youth, adults, caregivers, and families in the St. Thomas/London area and virtually across Ontario.
We support people who are quietly carrying too much, whether they are navigating stress, worry, emotional overwhelm, family challenges, burnout, or the weight of supporting someone they love.
What Makes Create PAUSE Counselling Different
We believe healing begins when people feel safe, understood, and supported.
Our approach blends warmth, clinical knowledge, and practical tools drawn from trusted therapies such as DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.
Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It is about slowing down, understanding what is happening, and finding a way forward that feels meaningful and manageable.
Create PAUSE Counselling & Wellness is built around the belief that people need space to exhale, reconnect, and grow at a pace that feels sustainable.
What to Expect
⏸ 1. PAUSE: Your First Contact
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. A free consultation gives us a chance to connect, hear a little about what is bringing you here, and explore whether Create PAUSE Counselling & Wellness feels like the right fit.
If you decide to book, we will send a brief referral form ahead of your first appointment so your session can focus on what matters most, not paperwork.
🫶 2. HEAL: Your First Sessions
Early sessions are about getting to know you, your story, your strengths, your stressors, and what you hope will feel different. Together, we begin shaping a plan that feels supportive, practical, and tailored to your needs.
Our goal is simple: to help you feel safe, supported, and heard every step of the way.
🌱 3. GROW: Moving Forward
As therapy continues, we work together on your goals through conversation, skill-building, reflection, and practical strategies you can use in everyday life. We regularly check in on progress and adjust support as your needs change.

🫶 For Parents and Caregivers
When your child or teen is struggling, it can feel like you are carrying the worry, the questions, and the emotional weight of it all. At Create PAUSE Counselling & Wellness, we support both young people and the caregivers who love them, helping families find more understanding, steadiness, and connection.
