Meredith Pilley M.S.W., R.S.W.
Clinical Counsellor / Social Worker
159 King Street Suite 204, Peterborough, ON Phone: 705-930-1618
I offer a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space for you to make sense of the issues you may be facing right now. I understand that we all cope in various ways and experience a range of emotions: anxiety, stress, grief, loss, depression, anger, confusion. We work together to find healthy ways of coping so that you can discover solutions that help you move forward towards your vision of a fulfilling life.
As a counsellor and social worker, I have experience working with a wide range of complex situations, including:
- grief and loss (death, relationship breakdown, loss of employment)
- mental health issues (diagnosed or undiagnosed)
- family issues (parenting, supporting the entire family through difficult times)
- trauma (physical, sexual, emotional – including adult survivors of childhood abuse)
- gender issues (questioning, coming out, transitioning, supporting partners/families of LGBTQ2 individuals)
In our work together, we will draw on a number of approaches that combine talk therapy and creative expression. My techniques bring together the best tools from a variety of therapeutic models: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, or Solution focused Therapy. Our work will be tailored to your needs and goals.
