While sharing our feelings and experiences with friends can be comforting and supportive, it’s essential to recognize the unique benefits that come from speaking with a professional counsellor. At Ehrlo Counselling Services, we believe that everyone should have equal access to the mental health support they need, and we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for all.

Talking to a friend
Talking to a friend often offers immediate comfort and a sense of connection. Friends may provide empathetic listening, share personal experiences, and offer advice based on their understanding of you. However, conversations with friends can sometimes lack the structure and expertise that professional counselling provides. Friends may unintentionally project their own biases or emotions, which can complicate the support they offer.

Seeing a counsellor
When you visit a counsellor, you’re tapping into a level of professionalism and expertise that can really make a difference in your healing and growth. At Ehrlo Counselling Services, which you might know as Thundering Buffalo Lodge, we use a personalized approach called the bio-psycho-social model. This means we consider all aspects of your life to create a treatment plan just for you. Our trained professionals are here to tackle complex issues and provide strategies that are proven to help you thrive and feel better.

Our philosophy is all about working together. We partner with you to set goals and create a plan that fits your unique situation. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, or any other challenge, our counsellors are here to guide you through short-term interventions that can lead to lasting change.

It’s great to lean on friends for support, but sometimes we all need a little extra help from a professional. That’s where we come in! At Ehrlo Counselling Services, we’re dedicated to helping individuals, families, and groups enhance their lives through compassionate counselling. If you’re ready to take the first step toward feeling healthier and more fulfilled, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today!
