Life as an adult brings unique challenges, from managing stress and building relationships to overcoming past experiences that can impact our mental well-being. At Wholesome Psychology, we understand that no two people are the same. Our adult counselling services in Edmonton and St. Albert are designed to support individuals at every stage of adulthood, empowering you to live a more wholesome, connected, and fulfilling life.
Why Consider Adult Counselling?
Adulthood can be a time of growth, but it often comes with complex responsibilities—career progression, parenting, family dynamics, and major life transitions such as marriage, bereavement, or retirement. If you’re facing overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, or simply feel stuck, adult counselling provides a safe, supportive space to explore these feelings. Our therapists are committed to fostering a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, respect, and authentic connection, embodying our values of compassion, non-judgment, and whole-person care.
Our Approach to Therapy for Adults
At Wholesome Psychology, we embrace a personalized approach tailored to your lived experience. Our team considers the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, cultural, and relational factors. Whether you’re seeking help for a specific issue—such as anxiety, trauma, workplace stress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or existential concerns—or are simply hoping to better understand yourself, our therapists offer guidance grounded in best practices of psychology and psychotherapy.
- Collaborative Goal Setting: We work together to identify your therapy goals and the paths to achieve them.
- Evidence-Based Modalities: Our therapists draw on a wide range of methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed care, solution-focused therapy, and more.
- Respect for Your Individual Story: We recognize the influence of your environment, past experiences, and values.
- Local Understanding: As part of the Edmonton and St. Albert community, we’re attuned to the unique pressures facing residents in these areas, including career demands, cultural expectations, and community transitions.

What to Expect from Your First Adult Counselling Session
We strive to make your first session comfortable and collaborative. You’ll meet with a therapist who is genuinely present, attentive, and ready to listen—without judgment. Together, we’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. This initial session lays the foundation for a strong therapeutic relationship.
