My name is Ayen Mabor. I am a MSW, RSW and I have 20 years’ experience in the counselling field. My approach to counselling is influenced by several theories and life experiences such as: Motivational approaches, Solution Focus, Strength Based, Family Centred, Cognitive Behaviour and System Theories. I was a refugee child, and that experience has shaped my view of life. I am compassionate, kind, caring, respectful, non-judgmental and always ready to lend a helping hand. In addition, I am multilingual; fluent in Dinka, Bari and Sudanese Arabic, and I am versed in African and Arabic cultures.
Katrina Shaw
Psychologist, RPsych

I have experience working with a variety of client challenges, including relationship challenges (e.g. family conflict, polyamory/open, infidelity, sexuality, attachment patterns), anxiety, depression, identity concerns, life purpose, and transition. I have specialized experience in suicide bereavement, and my predominant areas of practice include grief, attachment, and trauma. My training in attachment is rooted in rewiring the patterning of our interpersonal relationships, which directly impacts how we emotionally process and behave within these relationships.

Illisha Patterson Psychological Services
RPsych, MAPsych
Verified
As a psychologist I often hear "no one can help because no one understands!". Sometimes people feel overwhelmed and alone in the pain, fear and uncertainty. When chaos and crises are your daily reality, how do you manage? When you keep thinking about the horrible things that did or could happen, how do you stop? When you don't want to get up in the morning, how do you face the day? Honestly, I don't have all the answers but I have personally seen people find joy despite ongoing sorrow and I have seen tears and smiles coexist. I believe that with the right support, all people can explore how to find a sense of calm within the storm.

Paul Lander
Psychologist, MSCP, BA
Verified
I favor a laid-back approach to counseling. You won’t find yourself sitting on a couch in a cold room while I psychoanalyze you. Instead, we can start with a brief meditation to help you ease into a more peaceful, grounded space. We can let your favorite album hum in the background. Or, we can take a walk outside. I want to share a more relaxed version of reality with you, where you feel free to explore your concerns comfortably, with clarity and confidence. I want to offer a space where you can feel real. After all, I can't expect you to be real with me if I'm not real with you, right?
Sofia Lopez-Bilbao
Psychologist, MSc, RPsych
Verified
I believe that each person has the ability to define and live a fulfilling life. Unfortunately, life’s circumstances can cast a shadow on that ability, and make people feel as though they have lost their way. I believe that with the right help and guidance, people can re-discover their path. As a therapist, the most important driver of change is the therapeutic relationship with my clients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment in my sessions that is based on trust, and mutual respect; a place where my clients can feel heard and understood.

Agnieszka Wolska
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, RSW, MSW , BSW, BA
Verified
We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.
Empowered Life Counselling
Counsellor, RTC, CT
Verified
Maybe you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. You may be facing a challenge, a crisis, or a life changing event. Events from your past may be interfering with your life in the present. Perhaps you have never felt that anyone has really listened to you or understood you, let alone accepted you. Maybe you are feeling stuck or experiencing a lack of direction. Seeking support and receiving help is a courageous step towards a better quality of life. Counselling can help you to accept the things that you cannot change and help you to bring about changes that are possible.

Kelly Waters-Radcliffe
Psychologist, MA, RPsych

Therapy, at its most basic, is 'talking.' That’s why you’re reading through these profiles. You're looking for the right person to talk to about things that matter. If it helps, here is what experience has taught me: We are each unique. Our problems are equally unique. But all problems seem to grow from one common root: disconnection. Disconnection can be felt in many ways: insecurity, sadness, emptiness, pain, and anger. Troubled feelings such as these often lead to troubled responses, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, addiction, disordered eating, relationship conflict, violence, self-harm and suicide.

You're worthy of joy, love, confidence, and strength. You may feel alone, broken, stressed, hurt, and stuck right now. Trauma, anxiety, depression, poor communication skills and unhealthy behaviours should not get in the way of work, school, or relationships. I know you feel unsure, awkward, or intimidated about reaching out to a therapist, so you’re very courageous to take this time to explore your options. I encourage you to take the next step to call or email me. I want to support you because you're willing to try; you want to grow and to live your best life.
