Individual Therapy in St. Catharines & Across Ontario

Counselling for adults who are ready to feel like themselves again.

A calm, welcoming space for therapy

You Don't Need to Have It All Figured Out Before You Reach Out

Whether you're dealing with burnout that won't quit, grief you haven't had space to process, or anxiety that keeps quietly running in the background, you've already taken the hardest step by recognizing that something isn't working.

Henley Psychotherapy offers individual therapy for adults in St. Catharines and across Ontario, in person or virtually. The approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and built around a real therapeutic relationship, one where you set the pace and the goals.

What We Help With

We work with adults across a wide range of concerns, including:

You don't need a referral or a diagnosis to start. You just need to want things to be different.

A Relationship-First, Evidence-Based Approach

We believe the relationship between therapist and client is what makes therapy work, which means showing up consistently, staying genuinely curious about your experience, and gently pushing when that's what helps.

Depending on what you need, sessions may draw on:

What the Process Looks Like

1

Free 15-Minute Consultation

A low-pressure phone or video call to talk about what's going on and get a feel for whether working together makes sense. No obligation to continue.

2

Your First Session

About 50 minutes, more interview-style than later sessions. We'll ask questions to understand your history and goals. It's okay not to have clear answers yet.

3

Ongoing Sessions

More conversational and collaborative. We set a direction together, track progress, and adjust as needed. Many clients notice meaningful shifts within the first several sessions.

Insurance & Direct Billing

Individual therapy is often covered under extended health benefits. Direct billing is available with many insurers, including Green Shield, Manulife, Canada Life, and Cowan, subject to your specific policy, so it's worth confirming your coverage. Read more →

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?

If something in your life isn't working, your mental health, your relationships, or your ability to function day-to-day, therapy is a reasonable place to look. You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis. The free consultation is designed for exactly that question.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No. You can book directly without a referral. Some extended health plans require a doctor's referral for reimbursement, so check your specific coverage.

Is direct billing available?

Yes, with many insurers including Green Shield, Manulife, Canada Life, and Cowan. Direct billing is subject to your policy and is not guaranteed, so confirm your psychotherapy benefits with your provider.

Can I do therapy virtually if I'm not in St. Catharines?

Yes. Virtual sessions are available to clients anywhere in Ontario, including Welland, Niagara Falls, Hamilton, and Toronto. You just need a private space and a reliable connection.

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

Therapeutic fit matters a lot. A previous experience that wasn't useful doesn't mean therapy can't work for you. If we're not the right fit, we'll help you find someone who is.
