Jade Merkley – Registered Clinical Counsellor
Find Clarity in the Chaos.
I offer compassionate counselling for grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and mental performance. If you’re holding it all together on the outside while struggling on the inside, you’re not alone. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and focused on meaningful change. I provide a safe, welcoming space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore what’s beneath the surface. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, strengthen your inner resources, and move toward greater clarity and confidence at a pace that feels steady and supportive.
I work with adults, teens, and children using trauma-informed care, CBT, Parts Work, and Narrative Therapy, while highlighting a person-centered and strength-based approach. Together, we’ll tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you navigate grief, anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and mental performance concerns.
Alongside my clinical work, I’m also an athlete and coach. This unique perspective allows me to support athletes, teams, and individuals in the world of sport, helping them navigate the mental demands of competition, enhance performance, and find balance in both sport and life. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their inner experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with their sense of self and purpose.
Grief Connection Program
Alongside individual counselling, I also facilitate the Grief Connection Program, a supportive group-based program designed to help teens and adults navigate the experience of grief and loss. This program has one group for teens and one group for adults. It provides a safe and welcoming space to connect with others who understand, explore the many ways grief can impact our lives, and develop healthy tools for coping and moving forward.
The Grief Connection Program is grounded in the understanding that grief is unique to each person and that healing does not mean forgetting or moving on. Through connection, education, reflection, and meaningful activities, participants are supported in making space for their grief while also finding ways to reconnect with themselves, their relationships, and what matters most to them.
With a warm and empathetic style, I offer steady support while also encouraging insight and healthy challenges to foster growth. I recognize that healing, performance, and personal development are not linear journeys, and honour the uniqueness of each individual’s path.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to chat and answer any questions. Please feel free to reach out and connect!
