Fresh Hope Counselling has served Edmonton and area (and throughout the world by Skype and FaceTime!) for over eight years. Prior to that, Beth Murray has been involved in counselling for close to a decade — giving you 18 years of experience with counselling and psychological services. In the past few years, we have been referring clients out to other counselling services for things like marriage counselling, adolescents and children, along with times when Beth was just booked solid. Well, no more! Instead of sending you elsewhere, Fresh Hope Counselling has secured a large, welcoming office space in the West End of Edmonton! 17321 – 108 Avenue NW to be exact. Our new office will allow us to facilitate groups and run workshops and training sessions!
“But wait…there’s more!” In order to meet the growing needs of our clientele, we are bringing two Counsellors on-board starting in September. Fresh Hope
