Helping you create waves of positive change with personalized counselling and coaching services
Services
〰
You’re tired of the constant daily struggle—calling in sick for the third day in a row, snapping at your kids for no reason, or feeling stuck in flight-or-fight mode for months (heck, even years). It’s like, you want to feel happy again, so what gives?
Because right now, actually making that big life change feels damn near impossible, and terms like “inner work” and “personal growth” seem a little too psychobabble-y and out there for you. I get it—I really do.
So, you want to make a big life change…
You already know you need to drop the excuses, push yourself, and stay disciplined. But here’s what people often forget: you also need a good dose of support from someone who gets it. And that’s exactly where I come in with personalized counselling and coaching sessions.
If you want a different outcome, you need a different approach. Because staying stuck in the past is more painful than making a change.
HERE’S THE THING THOUGH:
CREATE A POWERFUL RIPPLE EFFECT IN YOUR LIFE
With the foundation of counselling and the insights from coaching, you’ll create positive changes that touch every part of your life, benefiting you and those you care about most.
BUILD RESILIENCE AND CONFIDENCE
Real talk? Therapy shouldn’t last forever. That’s why you’ll learn practical tools and repeatable strategies to build lasting resilience and gain the confidence to handle life’s ebbs and flows.
OVERCOME PAST TRAUMA
Counselling helps you confront and understand your past, allowing you to release its hold and move forward with forgiveness and self-love—once and for all.

I didn’t just take a one-weekend workshop and call myself a counsellor and life coach. Having spent 20+ years in fight-or-flight mode, grappling with grief, family addictions, and more, I understand the profound ripple effect unresolved trauma—and healing—can have on your life.
But I also know how frustrating it is to work with a counsellor who *doesn’t* truly understand your experiences. So I created my own practice. Welcome to Waves Collective Counselling—a safe space to share, heal, and grow through no-BS, judgement-free counselling and coaching services that feel less clinical, and more personal.
Hey, I’m Shadia—and I’m not your mainstream counsellor
REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLOR & ICF CERTIFIED LIFE COACH
Counseling often addresses mental health concerns, past experiences, and emotional issues to foster healing, while coaching focuses on goal setting, personal development, and achieving future objectives. Both can be highly supportive, but they differ in approach and focus.
