You’re not alone. Helping people like you find clarity is what we do.
At Cove Counselling & Psychotherapy, we're here to help you get unstuck from what's holding you back.

Through a compassionate process of self-discovery and exploration, we'll work together to uncover what's getting in the way of the life you want. Along the way, you'll gain the tools and strategies to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and clarity. This isn't about talking in circles, it's about doing the work: identifying the patterns that keep you stuck and breaking through them for real, lasting change. Change is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.
The Vision behind Cove - Meet Jen!
Jennifer Deprez, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying)
Hi, I’m Jen! I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) and the founder of Cove Counselling & Psychotherapy. In 2021, I made a life-changing decision to leave the corporate world and follow my heart’s calling—to help people heal, grow, and rediscover their true selves. Cove Counselling was born from that passion: a place where you can pause, breathe, and begin your journey toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in HR leadership, helping people and organizations navigate challenges, build resilience, and find their way forward. Those experiences continue to shape the work I do today, supporting individuals and couples as they work through stress, deepen their relationships, manage anxiety, and reconnect with the essence of who they are.
My approach is warm and compassionate, but it's also direct. I'll ask the hard questions and help you see your own patterns from a different vantage point, because real change comes from awareness first, then action. I'm trained in the Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2) for couples work, as well as EMDR, EFT, IFS, CBT, and DBT, so I can tailor our work together to what you actually need.
Whether you’re looking for healing, clarity, change, or just a little more peace, I’m here for you! My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where transformation feels not just possible, but inevitable. There are no limits —only the freedom to heal, grow, and live the life you authentic life you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions
I bring a natural warmth and compassion to every session, but I also believe in doing the work. I'll ask thoughtful, sometimes challenging questions to help you see your patterns from a new perspective, because real, meaningful change starts with awareness and follows through with action.
Our first session is about getting to know each other. We'll talk through what's bringing you to therapy, your goals, and how you like to learn and process between sessions, whether that's through conversation, books, podcasts, or other resources. There's no pressure and no worksheets unless you want them.
Yes. I offer in-person sessions in St. Catharines and online therapy across Ontario, so you can choose whatever works best for your schedule and comfort.
