Holistic Mental Health Counselling & Coaching
Hi, I'm Sofia Schuringa — a holistic mental health counsellor and coach offering compassionate, collaborative, and creative support to help you move through life with greater ease and intention.
Lux Counselling was created from a belief that every person deserves a space where they feel truly seen — met with care, not judgment. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, working through something long-held, or simply ready to know yourself better, I'm here to walk alongside you.
About Sofia Schuringa
I'm a Holistic Mental Health Counsellor & Coach with training from the University of Guelph, NutraPhoria School of Holistic Nutrition, and Durham College. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to explore what's getting in the way of the life they want.
My role isn't to fix you — it's to help you access the clarity and courage already within you. Sessions are warm, real, and shaped entirely around you.
Every person who reaches out brings something unique. These are some of the areas I'm most experienced supporting — though you don't need to fit neatly into a category to begin.
When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, it's hard to think clearly or feel at rest. Together we explore what's underneath and build steadier ground beneath your feet.
Navigating who you are — in relationships, in your work, in your body — is lifelong work. I help you come home to yourself with more kindness and conviction.
Grief doesn't follow a schedule. Whether you've lost a person, a relationship, or a version of your life, there's space here to honour it without rushing through.
New chapters — even wanted ones — can stir up uncertainty. I support you through seasons of change with steadiness, curiosity, and perspective.
How we relate to others often reflects how we relate to ourselves. We'll explore patterns, needs, and the courage it takes to ask for what you truly want.
Mental and physical health are deeply intertwined. Where relevant, we'll look at how sleep, nutrition, and daily rhythms shape your emotional resilience.
How I work
No two people are the same, so no two sessions are either. I draw from a range of evidence-informed approaches and shape each session around what you need that day — in person in Simcoe or virtually wherever you are.
We look at the stories you've been telling yourself — and gently ask which ones still serve you, and which are ready to be rewritten.
The body often knows before the mind does. We slow down to listen to your physical experience and work with it rather than around it.
Drawing on my background in holistic nutrition and health coaching, I consider the whole person — beyond what's happening in the session room.
Names have been changed to protect privacy.
Sofia has a way of making you feel completely safe from the very first session. I came in feeling overwhelmed and unsure — I left with language for things I'd never been able to put into words before. She's the real deal.
I've worked with a few people over the years and Sofia is by far the most present and attuned. She asks the right questions, holds space without judgment, and genuinely celebrates your growth. I'm so grateful I found her.
Working with Sofia virtually has been seamless. It doesn't feel like a video call — it feels like walking into a warm, quiet room. She helped me through one of the hardest transitions of my life with such grace and patience.
The space
The Lux space was designed with intention — vintage furniture, art that means something, plants that breathe alongside you. Because where you do the work matters as much as the work itself.
