grey rock centre

Welcome to Grey Rock Counselling and Coparenting Services.

We’re a different kind of counselling centre, with in person sessions in Miramichi, New Brunswick and virtual services throughout the province.

We provide a different kind of counselling experience, using our training, experience and evidenced based interventions. We try to do that without being stuffy and by being our real, genuine, normal selves and focusing on you. Real people providing real help.

Here are a few ways that make us a bit different:

  • We don’t really do therapy jargon or “how does that make you feel?” kind of therapy. Lots of us don’t know how we feel, and there’s a lot more to therapy than feelings. (Gasp!) Feelings are important. But they can also keep you stuck. As our director, Jenna Hill, often says, “Feelings are like kids on a family vacation. They get to be in the car, but they don’t get to drive.”
  • We don’t have just one way of working. Different people, different issues, and different brains need different approaches.
  • We don’t judge. At all. We might intervene, we might challenge, and sometimes we push. But we respect and like you just as you are.
  • We take time to make sure that we’re a good fit. We’re not for everyone. If we feel a referral may be in order, or you don’t think we mesh, that’s totally okay! It’s not about our feelings, it’s about making sure you’re working with someone you feel comfortable with.
  • We know you want to know if we can help. Not about every single training or certification we have on our resume. So we don’t spend a lot of time listing all of our fabulous accomplishments. The important thing to know is if our credentials match your insurance benefits, and if you feel we’re a good fit , you’re comfortable with us, and we can help you with whatever you’re struggling with.
  • We’re real people. We’re also super educated, experienced, and specialized in our work and interventions. But we’re people, just like you. We’re here to help with what matters to you, not to make you feel like we’re above it all or have all the answers.
  • We believe you are the expert of you. And if you don’t believe that, that’s a good place to start. You get to decide and tell us what works and what doesn’t. No hurt feelings. We love feedback. If what we’re doing or saying makes you cringe or confused, we want to know. It’s about you, not about us. We’ll adapt.
  • And most importantly, for those dealing with family court, separation and divorce, and high conflict and narcissistic coparents, we’ve got you. We’re not afraid of court involved or high conflict situations. You’re in the right place. Learn more about our coparenting services here. LINK

OUR Approach

Here’s what to expect from sessions and working with us :

Sessions Your Way: Virtual or in person counselling sessions. Your choice. Unless you’re a kid. Kids don’t do well with talking therapy on it’s own. We keep the tools and activities that make child counselling fun for kids in the office, and work with kids in person.

Confidentiality: Miramichi is a small town. We don’t talk about you to anyone unless there’s a court order. If we run into each other you can pretend not to know us, introduce us as a work colleague or your weird cousin you don’t talk to, or smile and wave and keep on going. We’ll follow your cues.

Enjoyable: Sometimes there are hard things to talk about. Sometimes you’ll feel worse before you feel better. But regardless of the issue, we aim to be warm, friendly, and approachable. We want you to look forward to our time together.

Adaptable: We’re here for you and what you need to work through or talk about. If our approach isn’t for you, it’s okay to tell us that. More than okay! We can shift gears. You won’t hurt our feelings. Honest. We rely on evidence based therapy interventions. We’re not one size fits all.

Our goal is the same as yours. To live a life that doesn’t suck, to find some peace and joy, and to figure out what matters to you.
