About Wave Counselling & Wellness

Wave was built around a simple idea: people should be able to access skilled, thoughtful therapy while still feeling genuinely seen and understood.

Our name reflects something we see in therapy every day — emotions can come in waves. They rise, shift, settle, and return. Built here in Newfoundland, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Wave reflects both where we come from and how we understand the emotional experiences people bring into therapy.

Based in Paradise, Newfoundland and Labrador, we serve St. John’s and surrounding areas through in-person counselling, along with virtual therapy across Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. Our team provides therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups, bringing together diverse clinical experience, specialized training, and therapeutic approaches.

Therapy can involve making space for discomfort and uncertainty, understanding emotions rather than avoiding them, and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. Our therapists support clients in moving through life’s waves and ripples with greater awareness, confidence, and connection.

Our Approach

No two people are the same, and neither is their path through therapy. We believe care should reflect who you are, what matters to you, and what you need at different points along the way.

OUR CLIENT-CENTRED APPROACH

At Wave, we put our clients first. We take the time to understand what brings you to therapy, what matters to you, and what kind of support you’re looking for. Our therapists bring a wide range of practice areas, clinical experience, specialized training, and therapeutic approaches, allowing us to connect you with a therapist well suited to your needs.

We see therapy as a collaborative process, with your goals, preferences, and experiences helping to guide the work. As your needs and goals evolve, your care can evolve too.

INDIVIDUALIZED CARE, GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE

Our therapists provide care shaped by your needs, goals, and circumstances. Whether you’re working to overcome challenges, strengthen relationships, navigate life transitions, address mental health concerns, or support your overall well-being, therapy is tailored to what matters most to you.

We believe effective therapy brings together evidence-based approaches, clinical expertise, and a genuine understanding of your experiences. Our therapists are committed to ongoing learning and professional development, keeping their work informed by current research and best practices while remaining responsive to each client.
