Hi, and welcome to our space. We’re Liona Kehler and Vern Kehler, proud partners and co-founders of Empower Counselling Services.
We know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel like a leap into the unknown, and it's natural to wonder, "Is this the right choice for me?" We completely understand. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute consultation—a chance for you to get a sense of who we are and how we work. No pressure, no obligation—just a space for you to ask questions, voice concerns, and get clear on what the next step could look like.
It’s not just about finding the right therapist, but also about finding the right fit for you. A safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. We're here to make sure you're confident in your decision before you commit.
A Bit About Us
Our vision is simple but powerful: to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, valued, and respected. A space where healing isn’t just possible—it’s safe, supported, and deeply personal.
But Empower Counselling Services is more than a clinic. Right here in this space, we aim to offer you a place for warmth, healing, self-discovery, and growth. From the moment you land here, we hope you feel it: this is a space where you are welcome, where your story matters, and where healing can begin in whatever way feels right for you.
Whatever your path looks like, we invite you to take what feels right, leave the rest, and know that even being here today is a step toward something new.
Take your time, look around, and get a feel for who we are. If you have any questions or feel drawn to reach out, we’d love to connect. You don’t have to navigate this alone—we’re here when you’re ready.
Hi, I’m Liona. I believe in the strength you already carry.
People are remarkably resourceful—we adapt, we find ways to keep going, we survive. But that doesn’t mean we have to do it alone. Sometimes, what we need most is a steady presence, a space to breathe, and a reminder that healing is possible.
Therapy is about gaining clarity, reconnecting with yourself, and rediscovering your own capacity for growth and change. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are simply finding your way—and you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re looking for a space where you can feel truly seen and supported, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
Hi, I’m Vern. I see the strength it took for you to be here.
Maybe clicking on this page was a quiet act of courage. Maybe you’ve been thinking about reaching out for a while. Either way, you made it here—and that matters.
I believe healing happens in spaces where you feel truly seen and heard. My role as a therapist is to create a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment, process the hard things with support, and move toward healing in a way that feels right for you.
Resilience isn’t about never struggling—it’s about finding your way through. You don’t have to do that alone. If you’re looking for a space where you can feel supported and understood, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
