Empowering Futures Through Compassionate, Science-Proven Counselling Services

At Pivot Counselling, fostering resilience in your child goes beyond talk therapy.  When kids acquire the skills to navigate life’s challenges, they become better at coping with future hardships. These basic skills help them to convert problems and struggles into tools that make them stronger individuals.
