Tailored Counselling Just For You
Counselling Services
Life can become overwhelming for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a clear event or loss that brings you to counselling. Other times, you may simply know that something doesn’t feel right anymore.
At Kare Counselling, I provide individual counselling for adults who are navigating difficult experiences, significant changes, emotional distress, or simply feeling stuck. My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative. Together, we can make sense of what you are experiencing, identify what matters most to you, and work toward meaningful change.
Anxiety, Stress & Feeling Overwhelmed
When worry, stress, or the demands of everyday life become difficult to manage, counselling can provide a place to slow things down and understand what is happening.
We can work together on anxiety, excessive worry, stress, emotional regulation, boundaries, coping strategies, and finding ways to feel more grounded and in control.
Depression & Low Mood
Depression can affect much more than mood. It can change your energy, motivation, relationships, sleep, confidence, and how you see yourself and your future.
Counselling can help you understand what may be contributing to how you are feeling, develop practical strategies, reconnect with your strengths, and begin moving toward greater wellbeing.
Grief, Loss & Bereavement
Grief does not follow a predictable timeline, and loss can take many forms.
I provide support following the death of someone important, as well as other significant losses and changes that can leave you grieving the life, relationship, health, role, or future you expected to have.
Life Transitions & Adjustment
Some of the hardest periods in life occur when things change.
Career changes, relationship changes, children leaving home, caregiving, retirement, changes in health, aging parents, changes in identity, and other major transitions can leave us questioning what comes next.
Counselling can provide space to process what has changed while helping you find your footing in what comes next.
Health, Chronic Illness & Caregiving
Living with illness—or supporting someone you love through illness—can affect nearly every part of life.
I provide counselling for individuals and caregivers navigating health concerns, serious or chronic illness, changes in independence, uncertainty, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of interacting with complex health-care systems.
Self-Esteem, Boundaries & Relationships
Sometimes counselling is less about one particular event and more about patterns that have developed over time.
We can explore boundaries, relationships, self-worth, people-pleasing, communication, emotional needs, and patterns that may no longer be serving you.
Practical Support & Navigating Systems
Sometimes you need more than a place to talk.
With extensive experience in health care and social work, I can also help clients better understand and navigate complex health and social-service systems, identify appropriate resources, and work through some of the practical challenges that can accompany difficult periods in life.

About
Hi, I’m Karen Wiens, MSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker and Counsellor with more than a decade of experience supporting adults through mental health concerns, grief and loss, life transitions, health challenges, stress, and some of life’s more difficult seasons.
My background includes counselling and mental health care within primary care, community mental health, crisis services, hospital settings, and health-care teams. Over the years, I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life—often at times when life has become overwhelming, uncertain, or simply not what they expected it to be.
I believe good counselling starts with genuine human connection. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and practical. I will listen and give you space to work through what you’re experiencing, but I also believe counselling should help you move forward. Depending on what you need, our work may include understanding patterns, developing practical coping strategies, building boundaries, working through grief or change, reconnecting with your strengths, or simply making sense of a difficult time.
I don’t believe there is one approach that works for everyone. I draw from evidence-informed therapeutic approaches and adapt our work to the person sitting in front of me—their experiences, strengths, circumstances, and goals.
Most importantly, you don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling. Sometimes knowing that something needs to change is enough of a place to begin.
