Angie Ratcliff

Canadian Certified Counsellor

I am accepting new clients across Canada (couples and individuals age 13+).

HOPE is to want something to happen or to be true. It may be hope and courage that brought you here. I believe that we all have the power and innate wisdom to grow, change, and find the things we HOPE for. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and your relationships.

I am grateful for my own journey through marriage, divorce, and starting over at middle age. My adversity and struggles afforded me the gifts of compassion, accountability, empathy, insight, and hope.

I am honored to hold a safe and collaborative space to guide you through a curious and compassionate exploration of self. I believe in the healing power of connection, and my goal is to support you in strengthening the connection with yourself and with others.

Together we can understand the different parts of you: your feelings, values, patterns, the meaning of your experiences, what has you stuck, and the stories your experiences have created. I work with individuals and with couples looking for more fulfilling, value-driven, and healthier lives. I help couples find empathy, intimacy, appreciation, and curiosity.

I am a humbly curious lover of life. I use a casual and flexible therapeutic approach grounded in research. I also believe in the power of laughter and real talk.

My main areas of focus are:

-Individuals (age 13+) and couples.

-Relationships

-Life Transitions

-Parenting

-Divorce/Separation

-Grief

-Shame

-Self worth/self-esteem

-Patterns
