I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who is compassionate, curious, and passionate about understanding people’s unique lived experiences and life journeys. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you can share your story and work together to highlight your strengths, support self-discovery, and foster empowerment. This work promotes greater self-awareness and understanding, helping you connect with your values, embrace your strengths, develop strategies that align with those values, and improve the quality of your relationships and your quality of life. We can collaborate to create more meaning and empowerment in your life, enabling you to be true to yourself and fulfilled.

My multicultural upbringing has made me open and appreciative of the role culture plays in our experiences. This allows me to collaborate with you through a culturally sensitive approach to build a strong therapeutic alliance. I will use an integrative counselling approach to tailor the course of therapy to your specific needs and goals. I will draw on evidence-based modalities such as Humanistic approaches, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Person-Centred Therapy.

Areas of treatment: depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma-informed care, relationship issues, burnout, parenting, anger management, chronic pain, behavioural issues, co-dependency, coping skills, and grief.

Hi, I’m Michael. You care about each other, but lately it feels like you’re more focused on getting through the day than enjoying your relationship. Between work, family responsibilities, and everything else demanding your attention, meaningful conversations can become rare, and small frustrations can start to build. I help couples make sense of these pressures and find ways to reconnect.

I’ve trained in the Gottman Method, which informs how I help couples navigate conflict, recognize unhelpful patterns, and strengthen the habits that support their relationship.

As a dad myself, I understand how easily everyday responsibilities can affect a relationship. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can let your guard down and speak honestly, without worrying about getting everything right. My goal is to help you feel more like partners again, rather than two people simply managing life alongside each other.

Hi, I’m Lauren. Maybe you’ve had countless conversations about what’s going wrong in your relationship, but nothing seems to change. You understand the problem, yet somehow keep ending up in the same place. I help couples bridge the gap between understanding their difficulties and actually changing how they relate to each other.

My approach draws primarily from the Developmental Model for Couples Counselling, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and ACT. We’ll explore the patterns you each bring into the relationship and find practical ways to respond differently when things get difficult.

I returned to school at 50 after working in several different fields. Those experiences taught me that change isn’t always straightforward, even when we know what needs to happen. My goal is to help you find a way forward that feels realistic and meaningful for both of you.

I am a compassionate and trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping individuals overcome life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore self-discovery, improve your emotional well-being, and build resilience. My goal is to support you not only in coping with difficulties, but in cultivating the tools to truly thrive.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize the deep impact of past experiences while focusing on your capacity for healing and growth in the present.

My approach is primarily client-centered therapy, emphasizing the importance of a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. Depending on your needs, I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. This integrative approach allows us to tailor therapy to your unique goals and challenges.

Whether you are navigating difficult emotions, healing from trauma, or seeking personal growth, I will work alongside you to create a personalized plan for lasting change. Together, we can uncover your inner strengths, build practical coping strategies, and foster greater self-compassion so you can live with more confidence, clarity, and connection.

Hi, I’m Kristen. Relationships don’t all look the same, and neither do the challenges that come with them. Whether you’re married, common-law, dating, in an open relationship, or practising consensual non-monogamy, you deserve support that fits your relationship rather than someone else’s expectations of what it should look like. I also work with individuals and partners who want support with sex, intimacy, desire, or changes in their sexual relationship.

Sometimes it’s hard to talk about sex, even with someone you love. You might have different levels of desire, struggle to communicate what feels good, be working through questions about boundaries or trust, or feel unsure how to reconnect intimately. I offer a warm, open, and non-judgmental approach where these conversations can happen without shame or assumptions.

In sex therapy, we can explore the emotional and relational factors affecting your sex life while also talking practically about what you want to change. My approach is collaborative and conversational, with room to work through difficult topics, better understand each other’s experiences, and try new ways of communicating. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come. We can start with the questions you have and work from there.

Hi, I’m Natalia. Becoming a parent can bring enormous changes, from figuring out life with a new baby to adjusting to how your relationship works when so much of your energy goes toward caring for someone else. You might be preparing for parenthood, finding postpartum life harder than expected, or struggling to balance everyone’s needs, including your own. I help individuals and couples navigate these changes and work out what might make everyday life feel more manageable.

My approach combines warmth and understanding with practical support. We can talk about what’s difficult, explore the expectations and pressures you’re carrying, and identify strategies that fit your family’s actual circumstances. I also help couples navigate how parenthood affects their relationship, including changes in communication, intimacy, responsibilities, and how supported each partner feels.

Disability is another important part of my work, informed in part by my own lived experience. I understand that disability can shape parenting, relationships, intimacy, and everyday life in ways that aren’t always recognized by others. If you’re navigating these challenges, you don’t need to spend our sessions explaining away your experience. We can focus on what you need, what isn’t working, and what might help. My background in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness also informs the practical tools I bring to therapy. My aim is to help you feel better equipped to navigate the demands of your life and relationships, in a way that works for you.

Hi, I’m Ade. Does it feel like you’re having the same argument over and over? Maybe one of you wants to talk things through while the other pulls away, or a small disagreement quickly becomes something much bigger. I help couples recognize these patterns, understand what’s happening underneath them, and find different ways of responding to each other.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I draw from Emotion-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to help couples navigate conflict and strengthen communication.

I want both partners to feel heard without having to prove who’s right. You don’t need to agree on everything or know how to fix things before coming to therapy. We can start by understanding each person’s experience and working toward conversations that feel less like a battle and more like an opportunity to connect.

With over a decade of experience in the field of psychotherapy, I have witnessed the transformative power of healing first-hand. My extensive training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) allows me to employ evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs.

Throughout my career, I have successfully supported clients dealing with a wide range of challenges, including trauma, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), developmental trauma, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Additionally, I have specialized expertise in couples therapy, substance abuse counseling, and facilitating therapeutic groups.

My approach is founded on building a trusting and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. Together, we will explore the root causes of your struggles, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience for lasting change. I believe in the strength and resilience within every individual, and I am committed to empowering you to overcome obstacles and discover your true potential.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and honour each person’s individual experience. Whether you’re in the middle of adversity, or wanting to process something that has happened in the past, I am here to support you without judgement. Choosing a therapist is an important decision, one that’s hard to make based solely on an online profile. I offer a free consultation because an initial meeting can often help in the decision making process. I also offer sliding scale fees because finances should never be a barrier to health and healing. Please reach out and we can discuss further.

Hi, I’m Alison. Having a baby can change your relationship in ways you didn’t expect. You might be navigating uncertainty during pregnancy, grieving a loss together, adjusting to life with a new baby, or finding that the way you communicate has changed as your family grows. I help couples make sense of these changes and find their way through them together.

In our sessions, we’ll look at what happens between you when things get difficult, including the feelings and needs that can be hard to put into words. I draw primarily from Imago Relationship Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples understand patterns of disconnection, rebuild emotional safety, and communicate in ways that bring them closer.

I believe both partners deserve to feel heard, even when their experiences of the same situation are very different. My aim is to help you understand each other more fully and build a relationship where you can be honest about what you need, knowing your partner is working to understand you, too.
