Our Mission
At Swabey Family Counselling, we are dedicated to nurturing strong family relationships and fostering the well-being of children. Our mission is to empower families to thrive by strengthening interconnected relationships, building lifelong skills, and relieving household stress. We offer empathetic counseling services rooted in interpersonal neurobiology, custom-tailored for parents, children, and teenagers. Our approach empowers them to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, understanding, and a deep sense of connection.
Our Vision
At Swabey Family Counselling we envision a future where families thrive in safe and secure relationships, fostering the optimal development of children and teens. We empower parents with the knowledge of the relationship-mind-brain connection, enabling them to nurture social, emotional, and mental well-being in their children. By teaching essential core life skills we equip children and teens to excel in their homes, schools, and communities, and with the implementation of healthy routines and habits, we reduce household stress and create space for family fun and connection. We aspire to make a lasting impact, transforming lives and building a strong foundation for future generations.
Core Values
Compassion: We approach every family with empathy, respect, and genuine care, recognizing that each person’s journey is unique. We strive to create a nurturing space where healing can flourish.
Empowerment: We empower parents, children, and teens with knowledge and tools to enhance their emotional intelligence, improve communication, and strengthen family bonds. Through personalized guidance, we help families build resilience and face life’s challenges with confidence.
Collaboration: We believe in the power of collaboration between counsellors, clients, and their support networks. By working together, we facilitate holistic healing, promoting understanding and unity within families.
Together, We Grow Stronger
At Swabey Family Counseling, we believe that every family has the potential to thrive. By integrating the principles of interpersonal neurobiology into our counselling approach, we guide parents, children, and teens toward deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful connections. Together, we embark on a journey of healing, resilience, and growth, fostering enduring bonds that withstand life’s challenges.
Fees and Insurance
Fees for services are $145 per 60-minute session, which includes email support between sessions. Accepted forms of payment include debt, credit, cash and e-transfer (e-transfers must be sent prior to session or immediately after). If you will be utilizing insurance to pay for services, it is your responsibility to verify with your insurance provider that services are covered. When checking with your insurance provider you need to ask which credentials they cover for counselling services, not just if you are covered for counselling. Some providers will specify that for counselling to be covered, you would have to see one of the following: Psychologist, Social Worker (RSW or MSW/RSW) Psychotherapist, or Clinical Counsellor. Green Shield is the only insurance provider that we bill directly to, for all other providers you must pay for services and submit your receipt. If you have questions about insurance coverage, please ask and we will do our best to answer your questions.
