Hello, I’m Brent Cairn.
I’m a counsellor working in Stratford, Ontario. I love what I do.
A cairn is a waystone that marks your path, and it is a way of honouring those who’ve passed. As a counsellor, I try to be a guide that helps you find your way so that you can honour and put to rest the parts of yourself that are no longer serving you. I believe:
+ That therapy should be tailored to the individual; there is no one-size-fits-all approach
+ That the quality of the relationship with your counsellor is paramount
+ That for lasting growth, we must acknowledge and unpack the emotions, patterns and energy that we both hold unconsciously and in our bodies
+ That the solutions to our problems are usually the most simple: a safe place, a trusting relationship, reconnecting with nature, a sense of community
+ That we all have an inner wisdom we can find and learn to trust
+ That there are no ‘quick fixes’ – real change takes work and time
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’ve outlined the next steps below.

Step 1
Book a Consultation
Hit the button and you can book a free consultation where we can both decide together if we’re a good fit. I offer sliding scale pricing and either online or in-person sessions. If you prefer, you can send me an email using the contact form below.
Step 2
Assessment
We’ll have a 15-minute phone or video chat. There are a few standard questions I normally ask, and then I leave it open for you to share any questions or comments you may have. If we find that we’re a good fit, you can go ahead and book your first full session.
Step 3
The Work
We begin the journey. The work consists of our sessions together, exploring the issues you’re struggling with and working on them.
Testimonials

I’ve been seeing Brent on a regular basis for several years now, and it’s honestly amazing to find a practitioner who you connect with. I’ve had multiple therapists throughout my life, but Brent is the first person I feel entirely comfortable opening up to and getting to work on things in a judgment-free space. Sessions with him never feel clinical or impersonal, and I’ve actually seen growth in myself and my anxiety since I’ve started working with him. I can’t recommend Brent enough!

I’ve valued my sessions with Brent; his kindness and empathy help guide me through challenges in my life. He has helped me by giving me tools to cope with life and look at my problems from a different perspective.

Therapy can be daunting, however, undergoing the sessions with Brent have been a transformative journey for me. His insightful guidance and empathetic approach have not only helped me navigate my challenges but also led me to a deeper understanding of myself. This experience has been nothing short of wonderful and I am grateful for the self-awareness and personal growth it has fostered.
