ABOUT O.W.L. COUNSELLING

O.W.L. stands for ‘Own. Willful. Living.’. Willful living means, taking action by making decisions that are important to us and true to who we are.

Established in June 2023, O.W.L. Counselling Services was born out of a major life transition for Aaron. Reaching a point in his life where balance became the ultimate health priority, his focus then changed to practicing ‘living with intention’ and living by values. Living life willfully lowers stress and brings joy and freedom to our lives.

Owls are observant, patient, and most importantly methodical. In our fast paced world we can easily find ourselves with our heads down and moving faster than our feet can carry us just to keep up. We can experience high levels of stress, low life satisfaction, and forget to prioritize what we truly find meaningful.

Willful, or intentional living becomes an everyday practice that we may find ourselves falling in and out of, remembering we can always start again at any time. We are here to help!
