The story of Cosmos Counselling
Cosmos Counselling was founded in January 2022 by Michelle Meier with a mission to support individuals’ mental health during the ongoing challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In these uncertain times, I recognized the need for a safe, welcoming space where people could feel heard, valued, and supported while navigating the complexities of life. I am deeply passionate about creating an environment where you can share your beliefs, experiences, and emotions freely, without fear of judgment.
As the founder and a Registered Social Worker with the College of Social Workers, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Development Studies with a minor in religion, a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, and a Master’s Degree in Social Work, all from the University of Waterloo.
I view counselling as an opportunity to help individuals cope with both the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life, ease suffering, and cultivate peace in the present moment. My goal is to form a meaningful connection with you—one where you feel both accepted and gently challenged to grow in ways that are authentic to you. It’s a true privilege to walk alongside people in their journey, unpacking struggles, and building new paths forward.
I work with individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, women’s issues, depression, self-esteem, and relationships.
As a first-time mom, I also bring lived experience to the transformative season of postpartum. I understand firsthand how deeply motherhood can shift your identity, relationships, body, and emotional world. This experience has shaped my passion for supporting women and mothers during this significant life transition. My practice is especially focused on creating space for moms to feel seen, supported, and resourced as they navigate the physical, emotional, and relational changes that come with this chapter.
Outside of my professional life, I’m passionate about health and fitness. I love cooking, learning about different cultures, exploring nature, and caring for animals. As an avid learner, I stay up to date on new research and dedicate time to continuing education.
At Cosmos Counselling, I aim to provide a space where you can feel supported and empowered, working toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
