Individual Counselling Therapy in Calgary
Life can be filled with challenges, transitions, and emotional struggles that are difficult to face alone. Individual counselling can help someone by exploring their lives and habits, by navigating and managing their thoughts and emotions. It allows an individual to learn more about themselves, enhance their communication skills and learn about healthy coping habits. At Innerlogue Psychology and Therapy, our individual counselling services in Calgary, we provide a safe and nurturing place for everyone to develop their own healthy mental palate.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, individual therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery.
What is Individual Counselling?
Individual counselling—also called individual therapy or talk therapy—is a one-on-one therapeutic process between a client and a registered psychologist or therapist. Sessions are confidential, goal-oriented, and tailored to your unique experiences and mental health needs.
This collaborative process allows you to:
- Better understand your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions
- Learn practical coping tools and emotional regulation strategies
- Heal from past trauma or grief
- Build stronger self-esteem and self-awareness
- Create positive changes in your life and relationships
Individual counselling is not about being told what to do—it’s about empowering you to take ownership of your healing in a non-judgmental and compassionate environment.
Who is Individual Counselling For?
Individual counselling is for anyone seeking support for mental, emotional, or behavioural challenges. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Some people come for short-term support during a stressful time, while others choose longer-term counselling to work through deeper emotional or relational patterns.
You might benefit from therapy if you’re experiencing:
- Anxiety or chronic worry
- Depression or feelings of emptiness
- Grief or loss
- Low self-esteem or self-doubt
- Trauma or PTSD
- Work-related stress or burnout
- Identity or life transitions
- Difficulty setting boundaries
- Relationship challenges
- Anger, shame, or emotional regulation issues
At Innerlogue, we welcome individuals from all walks of life and all cultural backgrounds. Our Calgary-based therapists are LGBTQ+ affirming and trauma-informed, with a commitment to creating inclusive, safe, and empowering spaces.
Some of our Individual Therapy Approach
We believe that no two individuals are the same. Our therapists use an integrative, client-centered approach that respects your lived experiences, cultural identity, and therapy goals. We meet you where you are—whether you’re just beginning your mental health journey or continuing long-term work.
Our therapists are trained in a range of evidence-based modalities, including:
✔ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Helps identify and challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking.

Focuses on building skills for mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
✔ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Helps clients accept difficult emotions while committing to values-based living and meaningful actions.
✔ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A powerful trauma therapy that helps process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories.
✔ Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Explores inner parts of the self to foster inner harmony and healing, especially useful in trauma recovery and identity work.
✔ Narrative Therapy
Encourages clients to explore the stories they tell about themselves and re-author these narratives in more empowering ways.
✔ Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Incorporates present-moment awareness and compassion practices to build resilience and reduce stress.
Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to determine which methods best support your healing and growth.
