Therapists in Canada

For the past 9 years I have been helping people achieve their therapeutic goals and live rich and meaningful lives that line up with their true values. As a Registered Psychotherapist and a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families in-person here in Guelph, online or over the phone. Creating a safe, calm and non-judgmental relationship with clients, I help people work through difficult events, emotions, and thoughts. My style is approachable and caring. In a good therapeutic relationship people can flourish and effectively address their issues, experience greater well-being and live towards their true potential.

I have significant experience working with men, and have developed a real sensitivity and empathy for the struggle many men face in opening up about, and making sense of their emotions. I believe we all have different ways of expressing ourselves and that using emotional language is not the only – or the correct – way to navigate our experience and relationships. If you are worried about being constantly asked how you feel, or about long awkward silences in the therapy room, that’s not what you will find here. I use humour, directness, prompts, helpful strategies, and most importantly, I work alongside you in a very human and engaged way. Our sessions will be collaborative and lead by what feels helpful to you.

Whether you are struggling with life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, or depression, we are here to help. Life has many ups and downs and our counselling philosophy is to witness your journey and empower you to strive towards your goals. We may unpack past experiences through a trauma-informed lens, develop tools for managing emotions, or process current life challenges. Whatever your need is, we are here to help. You are unique and your counselling experience should be too.

Dr. Ben Williams
Dr. Ben Williams
I have worked with individuals dealing with a broad range of concerns for over 15 years. This includes periodic difficulties (e.g. depression, anxiety, addiction, and insomnia), and more persistent concerns (e.g. maladaptive coping, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem).
I use a flexible approach drawing on training and experience in a number of theoretical orientations including: mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic therapy. I work with clients to establish meaningful and concrete therapeutic goals that form the basis for monitoring progress.

Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.
During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.
I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.

How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.

It may take reaching out to 3+ therapists to find one who is currently accepting new clients. So don’t get discouraged if you don’t hear back right away. Keep reaching out to therapists until you get a response. Your better health is worth the effort.
