About Neal

Neal Henderson (he/him) MEd (CCC/RCT), BSW (RSW), BA — Owner & Primary Practitioner Individual Counselling | Couples Counselling | Family Counselling | Walk & Talk Therapy | New Client Consultation | Group Counselling | Coaching (Non‑Therapeutic) I’m the founder of Creating Your Balance Counselling Therapy, offering in‑person counselling in Dartmouth and secure virtual therapy across most Canadian provinces. With over 30 years of experience in mental health and addictions, I support adults, couples, and families who are seeking meaningful change, emotional balance, and a more grounded way of moving through life. I’m especially passionate about men’s mental health. Many men carry stress, anger, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm quietly. My role is to create a space where men feel respected, understood, and supported in ways that feel practical and empowering. Professional Background My career spans community, healthcare, and family‑support settings, including: Mental Health & Addictions (Nova Scotia Health) Youth and family services (Department of Community Services / Opportunities & Social Development) Halifax Regional Centre for Education Adult rehabilitation and community support programs Foster parenting and family support services Psycho‑educational and therapeutic group facilitation This diverse background allows me to work effectively with clients navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, relationship difficulties, anger, and major life transitions. Counselling Approach My style is client‑centred, collaborative, and practical. I believe people are the experts in their own lives, and therapy works best when clients feel respected, heard, and supported. I integrate several evidence‑based approaches, including: Solution‑Focused Therapy (SFT) Motivational Interviewing (MI) Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Behavioural Family Therapy (BFT) Structured Relapse Prevention (SRP) Sessions are tailored to your goals and may focus on emotional regulation, communication, coping strategies, relationship strengthening, or developing healthier patterns of thinking and behaviour. Areas of Focus I support adults, couples, and families experiencing: Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm Depression and low mood Anger and emotional regulation Men’s mental health and identity Relationship and communication challenges Addiction and relapse prevention Life transitions and major changes Family dynamics and conflict Education & Credentials Education Master of Education (Counselling) Bachelor of Social Work Bachelor of Arts Credentials Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT) Registered Social Worker (RSW) Counselling Services Individual counselling Couples counselling Family counselling Walk‑and‑Talk therapy (Dartmouth) Group counselling Coaching (non‑therapeutic) Secure virtual counselling across Canada A Collaborative Approach to Growth Counselling isn’t about “fixing” people — it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, understand your experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
