Compassionate Counselling Services in Ottawa
Compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples
At Anna Green Counselling & Psychotherapy, I offer professional counselling services in Ottawa, Ontario for adults and couples who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have everything figured out — we’ll start exactly where you are.
My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you, creating a safe space to explore challenges, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.
I honour your unique journey toward wellness: their story, diversity and lived experiences. I welcome clients from all religious faiths, spiritual and sexual orientations, and ethnic backgrounds.
Individual Counselling for Adults
Individual therapy offers a one-on-one space to talk openly, reflect deeply, and work through life’s difficulties at your own pace. I support clients dealing with:
- Stress, burnout, and overwhelm
- Anxiety and depression
- Trauma and abuse
- Grief, loss, and major life changes
- Chronic illness, pain, and fatigue
- Existential or spiritual questions
- Low self-esteem and identity concerns
- Anger and emotional regulation
- Suicidal thoughts
Together, we’ll focus on building insight, strengthening coping tools, and creating a more balanced and meaningful life.
Couples Counselling in Ottawa
Relationships can be incredibly meaningful — and incredibly challenging. Couples counselling provides a safe, structured space to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection.
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples:
- Break negative communication patterns
- Improve emotional safety and connection
- Navigate conflict more effectively
- Rebuild trust after rupture or trauma
- Create healthier, more stable relationships
Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in conflict, or wanting to grow together, couples therapy can help.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
I offer trauma-informed counselling for individuals impacted by trauma, including childhood abuse, sexual abuse, dissociation, and complex trauma.
Therapy may include evidence-based approaches such as:
- EMDR Therapy
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
- Clinical Hypnosis
- Body-mind and grounding techniques
Trauma work is always done at your pace, with a strong focus on safety, consent, and stability.
A Holistic & Integrative Approach
My counselling style is eclectic and integrative, meaning I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs. These may include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Psychodynamic and relational therapy
- Attachment-based therapy
- Narrative and solution-focused therapy
- Mindfulness and experiential approaches
This whole-person approach supports the integration of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, values, body sensations, and behaviours.
Body-Mind & Spiritual Therapy
I also bring extensive experience in body-centred and spiritually informed counselling, supporting clients who want to explore healing beyond talk therapy alone.
My professional background includes internships with:
- Bruyère Hospital (pastoral care with cancer, stroke, and elderly clients)
- Rideauwood Addiction & Family Services
- Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse & Childhood Trauma
These experiences inform a grounded, compassionate, and respectful approach to therapy.
