Summary

Arukah Counselling offers clinical counselling support for a variety of age groups, from school-aged children, to teens, adults and elders. We work with LGBTQ+ populations; mental health issues like depression and anxiety; grief and loss; goal-setting and planning. We use a variety of modalities, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, EMDR, emotion-focused therapy, and many others with a client-centred and respectful approach.


A sliding scale is offered for those who may need more accessible cost.
Franya Jedwab has been working in the counselling field for 20 years and has a warmhearted, non-judgmental approach to counselling.
