WELCOME TO IGNITE COUNSELLING

We have recognized a significant gap in traditional therapy.

Many individuals have felt constrained by conventional methods, yearning for a more empathetic and innovative approach to healing. This realization led to the creation of Ignite Counselling — a sanctuary devoted to nurturing your unique story.

Founded by passionate clinicians from diverse backgrounds, our practice is built on the belief that within every individual lies a reservoir of untapped resources. True transformation comes from addressing the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Our thriving community embraces creativity, authenticity, and collaboration. We integrate various therapeutic modalities tailored to each client, focusing on uncovering hidden strengths and insights.

At Ignite Counselling, our clients are welcomed into a judgment-free environment where their stories are valued. Through innovative techniques such as somatic experiencing, mindfulness practices, and experiential exercises, we guide you on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Today, Ignite is more than just a private practice; it is a beacon of hope and healing. Our unique, client-centered approach continues to transform lives, empowering individuals to reclaim their stories and achieve the freedom they desire.

"Before we started seeing Shawna, we could not stop having the same argument...

…however now we know how to listen to understand each other instead of how to just react. This has been a game changer in our relationship as we know how to communicate in a way where we both feel heard and this has decreased our fights. I am a firm believer in couples counselling and we highly recommend Ignite Counselling and Shawna in particular.” K&C

"As soon as I sat down in Shawna’s office I instantly felt comfortable...

…as she gave off a non-judgmental vibe right away. Every session I walk away with new ways of thinking or journal questions that Shawna gives to help me learn more about myself in between my sessions.” LS

"Shawna’s ability to help me understand how my body holds onto past trauma...

…and then guide me through releasing it was lifechanging for me. I feel more in control of my emotions and more connected to my body than I’ve ever before. Shawna is an incredibly intuitive and compassionate therapist who has helped me make huge strides in my healing journey.” RM

"My favorite part of having Shawna as a therapist...

…is her ability to explain concepts through metaphors, in such a way that makes complete sense to me. I walk away from sessions with these new images on how to tackle tough situations or emotions with a new sense of confidence because I finally understand what is happening.” JJ

"I have never had a therapist be so present when I was talking about my pain...

…I felt safe and comfortable to try new tools that really moved me towards healing. I look forward to our sessions now to see more growth within myself.” BB
