Virtuous Circle Counselling is a community-based counselling and psychology clinic built around a simple belief: meaningful change is possible when people feel understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools. Our team in Calgary includes Registered Psychologists, Registered Provisional Psychologists, Registered Clinical Social Workers, and counsellors who bring a wide range of training and lived perspectives to the work. We meet clients where they are, whether that means stepping into an in-person session, joining online therapy from home, connecting by phone, or choosing walk-and-talk therapy for a more natural, movement-based setting. From the first conversation, the focus is on creating a safe, respectful space that supports clarity, confidence, and forward momentum.
We serve individuals, couples, and families across Calgary and beyond, with additional locations in Edmonton, Kelowna, and Halifax. Many people reach out when life feels off track—anxiety, low mood, conflict at home, trauma responses, stress at work, or the sense that goals are slipping away. Others come looking for growth: stronger communication, healthier boundaries, improved self-esteem, or better coping skills for everyday pressure. We also provide psychological assessments for children, youth, and adults, including psychoeducational and ADHD assessments, gifted assessments, and more, helping clients and families understand what’s going on and what supports may help. Our hours are designed to be accessible (Monday to Sunday, with extended daytime and evening availability), and we offer a free 30-minute phone consultation because fit matters in a therapeutic alliance.
A team-based clinic with a wide range of training
Choosing a counselling clinic is not only about services—it’s about finding the right person to work with. Virtuous Circle Counselling offers access to a diverse team of mental health clinicians, including Registered Psychologists, Registered Provisional Psychologists, Registered Clinical Social Workers, and counsellors. This means clients can be matched with a clinician whose approach and training align with their goals, whether they are working through anxiety, relationship strain, trauma responses, parenting stress, workplace burnout, or major life transitions. Because our team spans multiple disciplines, we can support a broad set of concerns while still keeping the experience personal and collaborative.
Flexible formats that fit real life
Life can be busy, unpredictable, and sometimes overwhelming—especially when someone is already managing stress or low mood. That’s why we offer multiple ways to access counselling: in-person sessions, online therapy, phone counselling, and walk-and-talk therapy. This flexibility helps clients stay consistent even when schedules shift, weather changes, energy levels drop, or transportation becomes a barrier. It also allows people to choose the environment where they feel most comfortable opening up and doing the work. Consistency matters in counselling, and flexible delivery makes it easier to keep showing up.
Evidence-informed care with practical tools
Counselling should feel supportive and useful. Our work is collaborative and goal-oriented, drawing from approaches that help clients understand patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviour while building coping strategies that carry into daily routines. Depending on the client’s needs, sessions may include psychotherapy, cognitive-based work, behaviour change strategies, mindfulness skills, or structured interventions such as EMDR therapy. The focus is not on judgement, blame, or quick fixes, but on developing insight and skills that support lasting change and steadier self-trust.
Accessible support across Western and Atlantic Canada
We offer counselling services in Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, and Halifax, creating access for clients who prefer in-person care as well as those who want online options. With extended hours Monday through Sunday, it becomes easier to find appointment times that work around school, work, and family responsibilities. We also offer a free 30-minute phone consultation, because feeling comfortable with a clinician and the process is a meaningful part of progress. If cost is a barrier, we can discuss affordable counselling options so support remains within reach.
Reaching out for counselling often happens at a turning point—when stress feels heavier than usual, when relationships are strained, or when old patterns get in the way of the life someone wants to live. Virtuous Circle Counselling is built to support that turning point with care that is collaborative, practical, and grounded in respect. With a multidisciplinary team, multiple session formats, and services for individuals, couples, families, and workplaces, clients can find support that fits their needs without forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
