About us
Noeline Husbands, M.A.
Maybe you’re wondering if I can really help you change what’s happening in your life. You wonder if I will understand, or if I think I have all the answers. “Is she going to judge me and give me what she thinks is an easy fix?” you. You’re here for a purpose, and I am totally dedicated to helping you make the changes that will help you on your way to your purpose and to the transformation you want. I would welcome the opportunity to walk this part of your journey with you.
The truth is that you’re here for a purpose, and I am totally dedicated to helping you make the changes that will help you on your way to your purpose and to the transformation you want so badly. I would welcome the opportunity to walk this part of your journey with you.
But how can you know if I can really support you on your journey? I remember, growing up, my dream was to help people improve the quality of their lives. If opportunities were as available then as they are now, I would have followed the profession of Psychologist, Counsellor or Social Worker right out of school.
Lack of guidance and lack of opportunity led me to pursue a career in the Public Service of Trinidad and Tobago. As opportunities became more available, I took the bold step of leaving what had become my career to pursue my true calling as a Counsellor. I get the greatest satisfaction from seeing my clients light up when they recognize possibilities for change and from seeing marriages restored after the heartbreak of infidelity.
As wife and former working mother, I understand the challenges of coping with relationship, family and career at the same time. I understand the stresses these can bring and my greatest pleasure is seeing a family in the same place that I was and knowing that there is hope for the future and that they can make it.
My world view is Christian and my values are shaped by my Christian beliefs and principles. I believe that people’s lives can change and I believe that God has power to change lives through faith in Jesus Christ.
While holding to my faith, my professional training allows me to integrate psychotherapy with my Christian beliefs to great advantage. I respect the religious beliefs of my clients and in no way do I impose my own beliefs on them. Questions of spirituality often arise in therapy and I follow the client’s leading as to how far they are willing or not willing to go in addressing those questions.
I prepared for this work by obtaining the qualifications of Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Counselling, Masters degree in Counselling and a second Masters degree in Family Life Education. I am also a Certified Professional Coach. I am passionate about what I do and I continue to educate myself in my field. To that end, I completed a 12-month training in “The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy – Integrating Attachment, Differentiation and Neuroscience” with the Couples Institute as well as training in Imago Relationship Therapy, based on the work of Dr Harville Hendricks. I am a Gottman Relationship Checkup approved member.
I view my profession as a calling for which I am well prepared academically, by professional training and experience, and through my own life experiences. I value the privilege of being let into another’s sacred space. This is a privilege that I could never take lightly. I invite you to talk with me about how I can help you move from where you are towards finding the answers and the transformation you need.
I must add that working with me to achieve the benefits you want will absolutely require your very active involvement, honesty and openness, commitment and dedication to the process.
I invite you to talk with me about how I can help you move from where you are into the transformation you want and need.

The first job I held was at a financial institution. One of the things considered a weakness in that environment, was that my customers repeatedly returned to fill me in on their ongoing successes. This was for me the most gratifying part of that job, in a place where meeting financial targets should have been my number one priority. I eventually made the decision to transition to counselling.
Life is a journey that is very rarely smooth. It may be dotted with speedbumps and obstacles, but the beauty of the journey is that it is unique for every individual. Like everyone else, I have had to overcome my own insecurities and challenges. These experiences, whether negative or positive, have ALL contributed to making me who I am.
I have been married for twenty-eight years and have a son and two daughters. I am still getting used to my elder daughter being married and living away from home.
My husband and I have always thought and continue to think of each other as best friends, and in that, we have been truly blessed. To those looking from the outside, our family might look perfect, however, as we all know, all marriages and families will, at times, face challenges and ups and downs.
What has always taken us through and helped us to navigate through those tough times is our strong Christian faith.
If your home is filled with conflict and bickering, or if you’re having difficulty parenting your children and teens, I can help. Your children and teens may themselves need counselling. My years of experience helping and counselling persons in similar situations have given me the knowledge and skills to help you.
If you are looking for a space where you could not only feel heard, but supported as you take the steps toward healing, then I am here and I am willing to work with you, in an environment of trust and mutual respect.
We will work together towards helping you develop an awareness of where you are at present, and what behaviours you need to adopt in order to move to a place where you can begin to feel whole again.
I am committed to ensuring confidentiality, while being compassionate, empathetic, and patient as I work with you to create therapeutic change.
