Counselling Services for
Rothesay Residents

Rothesay is known for its strong sense of community, family-focused lifestyle, and high quality of life. Even in a supportive environment, it’s common to feel overwhelmed while trying to balance work, family schedules, school demands, and personal well-being. Many people carry that stress quietly — but you don’t have to. Whether you live in Rothesay, Quispamsis, or in surrounding Kennebecasis Valley communities, support is accessible, confidential, and flexible — without the need to commute.
We provide a supportive and confidential space to talk through challenges, learn coping strategies, and create meaningful change — from the comfort of your home or another private space.

Our services (available by phone and online) include:

We also offer SmartMatch® — our personalized matching process that connects you with the counsellor who best aligns with your needs, personality, goals, and schedule — because the right fit truly matters.

Why Rothesay Residents Seek Counselling

Common reasons residents of Rothesay seek counselling include:

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally drained

Identity, self-esteem, or personal growth challenges

Workplace burnout, career transition, or job-related stress

Children and teen school pressure, sports expectations, confidence, or social anxiety

Relationship, marriage, or communication concerns

Parenting challenges or family conflict

Support That Fits Life in Rothesay

We understand the rhythm of life in Rothesay — from busy family routines and extracurricular activities to the desire for privacy and convenience. That’s why we offer flexible, accessible options that fit your schedule and comfort level.

We offer:

  • Secure virtual/online counselling through our exclusive SAGE Virtual platform
  • Telephone counselling for flexible, person-to-person support
  • Flexible appointments, including options outside standard work hours
  • Culturally sensitive and inclusive support for families, bilingual newcomers, and LGBTQ2+ clients
Whether you prefer a video session from home or a private phone call between commitments, support is available in the way that works best for you.

Which Option is Best:
Phone or Virtual Counselling?

Both options are effective — the best choice is the one that helps you feel most comfortable and supported.

Virtual/Online Counselling may be ideal if you:

  • Prefer face-to-face interaction through video
  • Want the convenience of receiving support without leaving home or when travelling
  • Need flexibility to access services around work, school, or family commitments

Telephone Counselling may be ideal if you:

  • Feel more comfortable speaking without appearing on video
  • You are travelling or need a simple non-Internet-based option
  • Prefer telephone-based supports that fit into a busy or changing schedule

Many Rothesay clients choose a blend of both options over time.

What to Expect in Your First Counselling Session

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and some people in Rothesay may feel unsure before their first session — that’s completely normal. Your first appointment will be a conversation focused on gathering information to get to know you. Your counsellor will explore your service needs and your goals in counselling and will provide the opportunity to share in a safe and confidential environment.

There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Together, you’ll begin exploring coping strategies tailored to your needs and circumstances

With SAGE SmartMatch®, we help ensure the counsellor you meet is a good fit for your needs. Most people finish their first session feeling heard, supported, and encouraged about their path forward.
