Lianne Perry, MA, MSc., RCC Therapy brings balance and clarity, helping you reflect and move forward with strength. If you have ever thought, “Therapy is just talking in circles. It does not really change anything,”  you are not alone. This is one of the most common myths I hear, and it keeps so many people from ever reaching out for the support they deserve. The truth?

Real life is not nearly that tidy. Healing can include forgiveness, but it does not have to. Some people find

Lianne Perry, MA, MSc., RCC Growth doesn't always happen in big leaps. Sometimes it starts quietly, beneath the surface, one small sprout at a time. One of the most common questions people ask themselves a few weeks or months into therapy is, “Am I actually getting anywhere?” It’s a fair question.
