ABOUT O.W.L. COUNSELLING
O.W.L. stands for ‘Own. Willful. Living.’ Living willfully means making conscious choices that are true to who we are — taking action in alignment with our values and what matters most to us.
Established in June 2023, O.W.L. Counselling & Wellness (formerly O.W.L. Counselling Services) was born out of a significant life transition for Aaron. During this time, he realized that balance and intentional living were essential to true well-being. This insight became the foundation of our practice: helping others live with intention, reduce stress, and cultivate joy, freedom, and fulfillment in their lives.
Owls are observant, patient, and methodical — qualities we strive to embody in our work. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to move faster than our feet can carry us, losing sight of what truly matters and experiencing stress or low life satisfaction.
At O.W.L., we guide individuals on a path of intentional living — a daily practice that may ebb and flow, but can always be revisited. Whether through counselling, psychotherapy, massage therapy, or other wellness services, our team is here to support clients in reconnecting with themselves, their values, and their purpose.
Willful living is not a destination — it’s a practice. And we’re here to help you begin, continue, or start again whenever you’re ready.
