Virtual & In-Person Counselling in Sherwood Park, AB

What brings you here

Maybe the thoughts won't quiet down. You replay the same conversation five times before falling asleep, or catch yourself apologizing for things that aren't your fault. Maybe you've tried therapy before and it felt like you were just talking in circles, nodding along, without anything actually shifting.

You're not imagining it. Overthinking, anxiety, low mood, and the exhaustion of a hard life transition (a move, a breakup, a diagnosis) pile up quietly until one day it's all you can think about. You've probably tried to push through it, told yourself it's not that bad, or waited for it to pass on its own.

It doesn't have to stay this way. Individual counselling gives you a space built around you: your pace, your goals, and real, practical steps forward, not just a place to vent.

What individual counselling actually looks like

Individual counselling is one-on-one support with a Registered Clinical Counsellor, built around what's happening in your life right now, whether that's anxiety, stress, overthinking, grief, or a big life transition. Sessions happen virtually across Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories, or in person in Sherwood Park, including outdoor "walk and talk" sessions if you'd rather move than sit still.

There's no single script. Some weeks are about untangling a specific problem, others are about building skills you'll use long after counselling ends. Either way, you and your counsellor set the goals together, at your pace.

Why work with Tara

Tara Webber holds a master's degree in counselling psychology from Simon Fraser University and is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): two evidence-informed modalities built for exactly what you came here to do, understand the pattern, then change it.

After 25 years of counselling across Canada and 14 years in international schools across China, Cambodia, and North Africa, Tara brings a genuinely global perspective, along with a style she describes simply as curiosity, kindness, and a touch of humour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer virtual counselling outside Alberta?

Yes. Tara sees virtual clients across Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories, in addition to in-person sessions in Sherwood Park.

What if I've tried therapy before and it didn't help?

That's a common reason people reach out. Sessions here are built around practical, skills-based tools (CBT and ACT), not open-ended conversation, so you leave with something concrete to work with.

Do you work with trauma?

Tara's practice focuses on supportive, practical counselling for anxiety, stress, and life transitions rather than trauma processing. If your needs are trauma-focused, she'll help connect you with a counsellor whose practice is built for that work.

How do I know if counselling is the right fit?

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a more practical approach than what you've tried before, it's worth a first session. There's no pressure to commit beyond that.
