Terrie-Lynn Veitch
Counselling and Psychotherapy
I’m a Registered Social Worker and therapist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. My professional background includes working in group homes, child services, long-term care, medical settings, schools, and private practice.
Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life stressors, self-esteem and relationship concerns, grief and loss, caregiver burnout, emotional regulation difficulties, and challenges with coping and resilience.
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Laurentian University and a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University. My additional training includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.
I use an integrative approach, drawing from different therapeutic modalities to meet each person’s individual needs, experiences, and goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we’ll work together to find strategies and approaches that feel meaningful and practical for you.
I understand that life can be busy, demanding, and sometimes overwhelming. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself, talk openly, and feel supported as you work toward the changes that matter to you.
My Personal Journey
My path to social work began with a desire to help others and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Over the years, my experiences have deepened my understanding of how important it is to feel listened to, respected, and understood.
I’ve learned that everyone’s story is different. The challenges we face are shaped by our experiences, relationships, circumstances, and the people around us. These experiences have shaped the way I approach counselling today: with curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that there is no single way to navigate life.
Becoming a social worker has allowed me to support people not only through counselling, but also by helping them recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, access resources, and advocate for their needs.
My Education and Professional jouney
My journey in social work began in 2006 when I completed my Social Service Worker Diploma. I went on to complete my Bachelor of Social Work at Laurentian University in 2011 and my Master of Social Work at Dalhousie University in 2026.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including long-term care, medical environments, schools, child services, group homes, and private practice. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with people at many different stages of life and through a wide range of circumstances.
I have continued to expand my clinical knowledge through training in CBT, ACT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I bring this combination of education, professional experience, and ongoing learning into my work with clients.
As a social worker and a parent, I also understand that life doesn't always fit neatly into a plan. Sometimes things change unexpectedly, responsibilities pile up, and finding time for yourself can be difficult. I believe counselling should be flexible enough to meet you where you are.
Why You Matter
Your experiences matter, and so does the support you receive.
At TL Wellness Counselling and Psychotherapy, I want you to have a space where you can slow down, reflect, and focus on what you need. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, we can take things one step at a time and work toward what matters most to you.
