Whatever you're facing right now, you don't have to go through it alone. Whether you’re managing anxiety, stress, burnout, or a lifetime of saying yes when you mean no, therapy can help you understand yourself and create lasting change. I enjoy working with adults who often describe themselves as people-pleasers — people who care deeply for others but find it hard to set boundaries or feel “good enough”. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you over-giving or self-critical, and build new ways of relating to others that can help you to feel more calm, confident, and authentic.

Emily Thornhill
Psychologist, PsychD, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Online Only
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who hold themselves to very high standards, yet privately feel anxious, burnt out, or self-critical. Deciding to speak to a psychologist can take real courage, especially when you’re used to being the one others rely on. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and the deeper issues caused by traumatic experiences. I am trained in EMDR, which can help people process and move forward from experiences that continue to feel unresolved or intrusive.

Therapy can be beneficial when something has challenged our usual ways of coping or when something in our lives just doesn't feel right. Triggers might include anxiety, anger or low mood, illness such as cancer or a heart condition, increased stress, relationship problems, bereavement, or a life transition. You might be looking for emotional support as well as deeper insight, a "road map" and some "navigational skills" to help find the best path for you. All are welcome, including neurodiverse people and those from minority cultures and faiths.

My ideal clients are people who feel stuck, unsettled, or weighed down by patterns they do not fully understand, often linked to childhood wounds, trauma, or shame.

They want clarity, emotional steadiness, and lasting change, not just coping strategies. Above all, they are seeking a safe, trustworthy space to speak honestly and be understood without judgement.

Positive Psychology Therapists
How does positive psychology therapy work?
Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.

When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?
If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviours differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?
The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.

Is positive psychology effective in therapy?
Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
