Individual Counselling — Edmonton, Alberta

You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support

You may not be struggling in a way that feels dramatic or obvious. Maybe you're tired, stretched thin, or quietly unlike yourself. Individual counselling in Edmonton offers a space where you come exactly as you are — and that is always enough.

You may be holding everything together on the outside while feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside. You may find yourself reacting in ways that surprise you. Or simply carrying more than you should have to carry alone.

Individual therapy at Tully Counselling Psychology is not about proving that things are bad enough. It is about understanding yourself more deeply — and building a life that feels more like yours.

The biopsychosocial approach
Seeing the whole picture

No one exists in just one layer. At Tully Counselling Psychology, therapy is guided by a biological, psychological, and social lens — meaning we explore not just what you're experiencing, but all the factors that shape it. This is what it means to truly understand a person, rather than simply treating a symptom.

  • Sleep, hormones, physical health

  • Coping strategies

Therapeutic approaches
Evidence-informed therapy tailored to you

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Explores the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — helping you identify unhelpful patterns and build more effective ways of responding to life's challenges.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Builds skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness — particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Focuses on psychological flexibility — learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them, while taking action aligned with your values.

Trauma-Informed Care

All therapy is delivered through a trauma-informed lens — meaning your sense of safety, choice, and control are always prioritized, whatever you are working through.
