Vitality Collective’s story: A message from our director

Our community of practice was born from personal experience. Each one of our counsellors knows what it's like to sit in the client seat.

Welcome to Vitality Collective. I’m Perienne Paulson, and it’s my honour to serve as the Executive Director of this deeply connected, values-driven community of clinicians.

Here, you’ll find a team of therapists who bring not only strong clinical expertise, but also lived experience of the healing power of counselling. Every therapist at Vitality has, at some point, been in the client’s chair. At Vitality Collective, we know what it means to reach out for support, to sit with vulnerability, and to feel genuinely seen by someone who can help.

That understanding is at the heart of everything we do.

We believe your story matters—where you’ve been, what you’re carrying, and where you hope to go. Pain doesn’t exist in isolation. It has a context, a history. And when you share your story in a safe, supportive, and expertly guided space, healing becomes not only possible, but sustainable.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, trauma, relationship strain, among so many other challenges - or simply wondering who you are right now—know that you’re not alone. Our best-match approach is designed to connect you with the right counsellor for your needs, with someone who can walk alongside you with skill, steadiness, and compassion.

Reaching out is a powerful first step. If something in you is stirring—if you’re even a little bit curious about what counselling might offer you—we invite you to connect with us. We’re here, and we’re ready when you are.

— Perienne Paulson, Executive Director

Our Values

You can count on the team at Vitality Collective to be:

Professional

We understand counselling is vulnerable. We pledge to always treat you with respect and dignity, never cause harm, provide the best possible support, and allow you to determine your own direction.

Inclusive

We consider every individual worthy of care, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, body, sexual orientation, identity, beliefs, and experience. Our counsellors are always compassionate and driven by your personal success.

Compassionate

We care: We care because your story matters. We care because no one should have to struggle alone. We care because we’ve seen first-hand how counselling can help people. We’re here because we want to see you redefine and regain your mental and physical wellness.

Confidential

Whatever we speak about will remain private and confidential. Our relationship is built on trust, and we take this relationship extremely seriously. Throughout your time with us, we’ll always maintain a safe space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in complete confidence.

* In some circumstances where there is risk of harm, your therapist may have to consult with your doctor or emergency contact etc. These circumstances will always be discussed at the start of your therapy so you are clear about your rights in this respect.
