Counselling with Karla Dawe, M.Ed., RCT, CCC


Life can feel overwhelming, uncertain or simply harder than it should. You may be dealing with grief, relationship difficulties, stress, trauma, addiction recovery or a major change in your life. You may also know that something does not feel right, even if you cannot yet explain why.


You do not have to work through it alone.


Karla Dawe Counselling Services provides compassionate, confidential and non-judgmental counselling for individuals, couples and families. Appointments are available in person at her Mineville office and virtually throughout Nova Scotia.

How Does Therapy Work?

  • Therapeutic Couselling

    Counselling is a way to build rapport with clients to facilitate self-knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth while optimizing personal resources. The aim is to provide an opportunity to work towards living a more satisfying and resourceful life. Karla works with clients in a way that respects client's value, personal resources and capacity for self-determination.

  • Reiki Therapy

    Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

  • Access Consciousness Bars

    Access is a set of tools and processes that are designed to facilitate more consciousness for everyone. It includes all things without judgement. It is a willingness and capacity to be totally aware, totally present in all areas of your life.
