My name is Nathan Thompson, and I am the owner and operator of Block House Counselling & Psychotherapy Services in Fredericton, NB. I offer individual and couples therapy in my private practice, located just off Waterloo Row in Fredericton’s downtown heritage area.
I hope you find my office to be an inviting and comfortable space where you can discuss whatever brings you to my website. To learn more about me, my training, and my practice, please visit my “About Me” page.
Why “Block House”?
I named my practice “Block House” to honor the history of its location. The heritage home my office is attached to is called “Block House,” built in 1840 by Irish master mason John Block. For nearly 200 years, it has been a significant part of Fredericton’s history, welcoming many people through its doors. The previous owner even used the home to teach piano lessons to numerous residents in the Fredericton area. I aim to continue this rich tradition by making Block House an important part of Fredericton’s community.
