welcome to Lakeside Counselling services

Welcome to Lakeside Counselling. For those new to counselling you are likely curious to know how counselling might help you. Since you have arrived at our website, you are most likely tired of dealing with the same things over and over and are ready to make some changes. 

At Lakeside Counselling we offer therapeutic counselling services for adults. Our focus is to provide you with a welcoming environment we can feel safe to explore and grow.   Both Merel and Tamara have over 15 years of extensive education and experience in counselling. 

Whether you want to connect in-person or online I am glad you are here to read a bit more about our practice and approach.

I’ve got the tools you can learn

Even if you're feeling at a loss right now, you are motivated to make changes in your life.  This is where I come in.  I’d like to help you reach your goals by providing a different, fresh perspective.  With the combination of my life experience and formal training, I can equip you with tools and techniques to safely sort through some of your emotions, and help you to find new ways to cope with life, relating to where you are at in a personal way to help you get unstuck.
