The relationship you have with yourself impacts every relationship in your life. When you’re unhappy, anxious, depressed, disconnected, or just stuck, it may feel overwhelming to navigate these problems alone. These emotions typically have a ripple effect on those you care about and impact your relationships. You, and those you love, deserve better. At Quoin Counselling, we help you address your stumbling blocks, build resiliency, and develop skills so you can create the life you want, one that includes nurturing and fulfilling relationships.
What’s Quoin and What Does it Have to Do with Counselling?
Quoin is an architectural term referring to the cornerstone that makes it possible for buildings or structures to have integrity and stability, the very things that make them safe places to be. When our relationships with ourselves and others are stable and based on integrity, we feel safe. From this place of safety, anything’s possible, including connection, joy, confidence, love, courage, and creativity.
Just like structures need cornerstones, we humans need them to grow, expand, and become the best version of ourselves. At Quoin Counselling, our focus is on providing you with safety and support while helping you create a solid foundation, one that rests on great relationships, starting with the one you have with yourself.

“My teenage daughter and I saw a few counsellors before Tanya. By the time we came to Tanya, my daughter suffered from severe anxiety and felt hopeless. Our relationship was strained, and I doubted myself as a parent. After working with Tanya, my daughter was back in school, had goals, and more importantly had hopes for herself moving forward – something I hadn’t seen in years. Tanya also worked with me and my daughter to give us better tools and skills for managing our relationship – we’re now closer than we’ve ever been and enjoy one another again. If you had asked me six months ago, I never would have thought this was possible.”

“Brooke provided steady support during a transitional period of my life. I used to often expect the worst case scenario but I have now learned how to challenge my anxious thoughts and see a new perspective. Brooke helped me accept my limit of control and focus on what I can do to feel prepared and at ease. She also guided me in improving my communication skills, allowing me to share vulnerable emotions with my partner. I now feel equipped with the tools I need to move forward. I’m incredibly grateful for Brooke’s support.“
