The Team

By Peaceful Waters counsellors are able to integrate their professional training with their Christian faith. The agency serves many people from different cultural and religious backgrounds and is sensitive to the beliefs of each person.

Our counsellors derive their clinical experience from a wide variety of settings including community based counselling agencies, family and children's services, foster parenting, and institutional programs for adults, children and youth.
