Supporting Growth, Connection & Well-Being
If you are ready to begin a journey of healing, growth, and reconnection, you are in the right place. Located north of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Katy M Shaw Counselling offers virtual, on-farm, equine-assisted, and animal-assisted therapeutic experiences designed to nurture healing, connection, and emotional well-being. Children are gently supported in learning to understand their big feelings, develop healthy ways of expressing emotions, and build the confidence and resilience to become the best versions of themselves. Adolescents, adults, couples, and families are supported in strengthening self-understanding, deepening connections, and creating meaningful, lasting change. Thank you for being here. It is an honour to walk alongside you.

Flexible Spaces for Your Healing
I believe that the environment in which you heal matters as much as the words you share. My practice offers two distinct pathways: on-farm sessions provide a grounding, natural setting where the presence of our animals fosters deep emotional connection, while virtual counselling brings the same compassionate support to your home, offering the flexibility you need to find your own rhythm.
