At Hollyburn Support Services, we understand how important language and cultural understanding are to building a strong therapeutic relationship. That’s why we are proud to offer First Language Counselling/Psychotherapy, providing support in the language you feel most comfortable speaking. Counselling/Psychotherapy is a deeply personal experience, and being able to express yourself in your first language allows for clearer communication and deeper emotional understanding.

Who Can Benefit from First-Language Counselling/Psychotherapy?

• Newcomers and Immigrants: Adjusting to life in Canada can be challenging, and language barriers can add stress. First Language Counselling/Psychotherapy provides a safe space where individuals and families can feel heard and supported in their native tongue.
• Culturally Diverse Families: We support families navigating cultural differences, helping bridge the gap between generations and fostering stronger understanding within the family.
• Anyone More Comfortable in Their First Language: Whether English is your second language or you simply feel more at ease speaking in your mother tongue, First Language Counselling/Psychotherapy can help you communicate openly and feel fully understood.

The Benefits of First-Language Counselling/Psychotherapy

• Cultural Sensitivity: Our counsellors understand cultural values and nuances, offering care that respects your background while supporting your mental health needs.
• Clearer Communication: Speaking in your first language means you can share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences more fully — leading to more effective sessions.
• Enhanced Emotional Connection: Counselling/psychotherapy in your native language helps build trust and comfort, creating a safe space for healing and growth.

At Hollyburn Support Services, we are committed to making therapy accessible, respectful, and meaningful for everyone. Our First Language Counselling/Psychotherapy helps remove language barriers so you can focus on what matters most — your well-being and mental health.
