Dolphin Lake Counselling

A space where you can find clarity, strength, and peace

For those feeling confused, overwhelmed, or stuck, this is a place to catch your breath and feel seen

My name is Renée, and I am a registered social worker (RSW) and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC) offering virtual counselling for adults in Ontario and British Columbia.

I offer a therapeutic environment defined by authenticity and genuine understanding. True healing cannot begin until you feel safe. I aim to create a space where you are free to be yourself, feel validated, and can gently work through issues that are preventing you from thriving.

My style is down-to-earth. I use humour when it fits and straight talk to keep things real, as I believe people deserve support that feels human.

As a trauma-informed social worker, my approach centres on sensitivity, collaboration, and care. You’re always in the driver’s seat. We move at your pace, guided by your wisdom, values, and inner knowledge.

Together, we’ll build trust and draw on your unique strengths to gently work towards the clarity and change you’re hoping for.

You don't have to go through this alone.

Specialties

Narcissictic Abuse

Relationships that erode your sense of self, make you second-guess everything, and abandon your own needs are the hallmarks of narcissistic abuse. We’ll clarify the patterns, rebuild your self-worth, and help you regain your voice.

Emotional Overwhelm

When emotions hit like a tidal wave and you can’t catch your breath, it’s okay to not have it all figured out. We’ll slow things down together, navigate the storm, and find ways to help keep you safely anchored.

Grief

Grief gets misunderstood as a problem to solve or stages to complete, when really it’s messy, isolating, and far-reaching. In our work, there’s no pressure to “be okay”—just a compassionate space to feel it fully and heal at your pace.

Life Transitions

Major life changes can bring both hope and uncertainty. Discover how we can work together to process mixed emotions, honour what’s ending, and step into what’s next with more clarity and self‑compassion.
