Counselling and Psychology FAQs
What kind of counselling and psychology support is offered at HIHF?
Our team offers counselling for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions, with particular expertise in fertility, prenatal, postnatal, and perimenopausal mental health. Sessions are personalized and grounded in a compassionate, non judgmental approach.
Do you offer support specifically for fertility, prenatal, postnatal, or perimenopause related mental health?
Yes. Our counselling team has both personal and professional experience supporting individuals and couples through fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and perimenopause, and offers a grounded, empathetic approach tailored to each of these stages.
What is nervous system regulation, and why is it a focus of your counselling approach?
Nervous system regulation refers to helping the body move out of a stressed or overwhelmed state and back into a calmer, more grounded one. We believe that when the nervous system is regulated, it creates space for healing, clarity, and connection, which is why it is central to how we approach counselling.
Do you offer trauma therapy?
Yes. Our team includes trauma informed, trauma focused care for individuals who have experienced acute or complex trauma, including medical trauma and birth trauma. This includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an approach used to help calm the nervous system, reduce the emotional impact of distressing experiences, and support meaningful relief.
Can I book a free consultation before committing to ongoing counselling?
Yes. We offer a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation to answer your questions before you commit to ongoing sessions. Call the location you would like to arrange your consultation through.
Are virtual counselling sessions available?
Yes. Both of our therapists offer virtual sessions, in addition to in person appointments at our NW and SE Calgary clinic locations.
