Turning your travel dreams into reality!
“My love for and subsequent career in travel began when I was 18. Instead of university I decided to travel the world! It was one of the best decisions I ever made. After a year of working in The South Pacific, I realized I wanted to be one of the amazing people who helped me when I was travelling. Since then, I graduated from Algonquin College's 2 year Travel Counsellor program and spent over 16 years living and working in all aspects of the travel industry, including living in Australia, New Zealand and Vancouver. My travel experience includes some of the world’s most exotic and stunning locales – from Tahiti’s most famous island, Bora Bora to PEI, Bali to the Canadian Rockies, and New Zealand to Trinidad and Spain. My passion is providing a unique travel experience for each and every one of my customers, whether you are exploring the Canadian Rockies or Ayers Rock – and every spot in between! Today, it seems like making a reservation has become self-service or no service. Travel Counsellors support means I have the time to find the best options and price for you. This means you don't have to spend hours hoping to find the best holiday, or worried you've bought the wrong holiday. Whatever your choice, a quick weekend getaway, a business trip, an unforgettable honeymoon, a remarkable family holiday or a car rental, call me and we’ll put my 10 years of travel industry experience to work. I understand that life is busy and I am happy to speak with you or meet you at a time and place that’s convenient to you. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Integrate practical and creative processes in co-creating your life
Instructed at Counsellor Training Institute in Halifax for two years and has maintained a private practice for more than five years. Rory maintains an environment which invites creative involvement with the client’s resources. Many of us sometimes need help through counselling to focus, plan, and carry through with our plans for personal and professional change. Others may seek psychotherapy to examine their personality and how they can change themselves as a person to improve their life overall. Psychotherapists believe happiness in life is a direct result of how you approach and deal with the world around you. Instead of attacking specific problems, psychotherapy looks at what has caused these problems and focuses on that. Psychotherapists believe if you change your thoughts, you will be able to change the feelings associated with them, which leads to a more satisfying life. "I created the term “Creation Coaching” which means to help my clients integrate practical and creative processes in co-creating their lives within their complex network of relationships with partners, family, friends, and coworkers. I encourage clients to access their “Wise Self” inner part and connect it with their “Authentic power”. An unfolding process develops; personal stories and goals become the foundation for our client-centred work". Quiet residential location. Free Parking. Online booking. Rory Batchilder - Psychotherapy and Counselling is located in quiet Westboro.

Design of advertising, print media, packaging, web, e-marketing, signage and 3-dimensional installations, we are eager to please our clients with extraordinary results.

We have the experience, knowledge and artistry to pull together superior results, mixing strategic insight with ingenuity. Big on calculated risk and bold ideas, our tails start wagging when we're left to create imaginative communication pieces that grab people's attention. “ We really enjoy the people whose businesses are in their hearts, I get just as excited about it as they do. Maybe that’s what makes the difference in the design. Food made with love always tastes better. Design done with care for the client and the business is noticeable – the connection between the client and the image and then the image and the customer. It’s got to be a good fit. And we’ve got to be a good fit with our clients. It is truly a relationship.”
