Welcome to Swabey Family Counselling
We provide in-person and virtual family counselling in LaSalle, Ontario, specialized in supporting children, teens, and parents. Families from Amherstburg and Windsor can easily access our office, which is located in the Active Body Plaza. Though we prefer in-person sessions, especially for child counselling and teen counselling, we understand the logistical challenges that in-person sessions can present for parents. We therefore offer virtual sessions as needed to meet families’ busy schedules.
In-Person vs Virtual Therapy Sessions
For child and teen counselling, we highly recommend in-person sessions over virtual because of the opportunities it presents for hands on learning. During in-person sessions, our therapists get on the floor with your child or teen and use all the creative tools, toys, and resources. As a result, we can connect with a larger range of learning styles. Our large group room also provides the opportunity to get out of the counselling room and meet kids’ needs for movement – and bubble blowing! Most importantly, the more hands-on tools used, the more learning that occurs, resulting in use of strategies outside of the counselling room.
Yes, even parents can benefit from the use of hands-on tools and visuals! Though we still recommend in-person sessions for family counselling, we appreciate the challenges parents face and therefore will utilize virtual sessions as needed.

Family Counselling in LaSalle: Colourful & Cozy
Family counselling, child counselling, teen counselling, and parent counselling should be colourful and cozy – therefore there are no dull clinical feeling rooms here! We created an environment that feels like home. The result being, a space where you can kick off your shoes, put on a cozy pair of slippers, and get comfortable. We want you to step out of the hustle and bustle for an hour and focus on your family’s well-being. Bins of toys are meant to be explored, carpets are meant to be spread out on, and cushions are meant to be curled up with. We absolutely love it when children explore, create, and make a mess. Teens spreading out the furniture or floor means they feel safe in the space. That’s what we want! Without a doubt, our space is here for your entire family to feel warm and welcomed.
