I believe that it is possible to improve your mental health, experience healing, and feel more at peace. My goal is to help to develop healthy strategies for coping, dealing with unwanted thoughts and feelings, and improving your relationship with others and importantly, yourself. Sometimes we need long term counselling to deal with hurtful experiences, while other times a stressful event occurs that might need just a few meetings to address. My aim from the start of our journey is to ensure that you feel empowered, hopeful, and that we have a plan in place to help you to start feeling better.

Saadiya Ali
Registered Provisional Psychologist, MC, BPA, BA
Verified
In this journey of life, we experience all kinds of events both positive and negative. As humans, we are equipped with unique strengths and resources that shape our resiliency when it comes to healing, changing, growing, and adapting. We may experience problems because of a disruption (internal or external) to our daily functioning, which can impact how we feel, how we think, and/or how we behave. This can result to feeling a loss of control and autonomy over our lives. A central tenant to my approach in counselling is social justice which means supporting my clients to empower themselves: regaining power over their lives.

Counsellor, MA, CCC

Life feels stressful, overwhelming, and disappointing. You can't seem to figure out how to make things better but you know you need them to improve. You struggle to feel good enough and connect to joy in your life. You often wonder how things got like this. Somewhere along the way, you got lost and you can’t quite figure out how to find your true self. You long to feel happy but you aren't sure where to start. You want things to change but you know you need some help to get there. You are looking for a therapist who really understands you and has the tools to help.
Petra Wood

Life is unpredictable and can be full of surprises and struggles, but you do not have to experience this alone. My first goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and safe so we can then examine the reasons that you came to therapy. Let's work together using both my skills as a therapist and your life experience so that you leave each session with greater self-compassion, understanding, and hope for your future. With a special interest in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety and low self-compassion, I look forward to meeting with you and supporting you on your journey.

Why aren't we as happy as we want to be? Sometimes life is full of stress and challenges, and we might lose our connection with the joyful part of ourselves. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their joy and live meaningful and satisfying lives. A strong client-therapist bond is essential to making therapy effective, therefore I focus on building and maintaining a positive therapeutic relationship that is non-judgmental, respectful, and compassionate. When working with clients I strive to create an atmosphere that promotes safety, self-compassion, insight, and helps to identify steps to take in order to move forward.

Many of my clients seek therapy for additional support when encountering unexpected challenges or problems without clear solutions. As a therapist, I focus on establishing a secure relationship with my clients, allowing us to speak candidly and get curious about current struggles. Because of their focus on personal development, many of my clients opt to receive ongoing support to process issues that arise over time.

What is the MORE you are searching for? Many people seek out therapy because they are tired of their lives or they want to get rid of the words in their head that beat them down. They want to find a better them. More can mean a number of things- joy, confidence, motivation, creativity, or boldness (to name a few). Creating change is not easy or fast, but we have to start somewhere. One of the best feelings is being seen and heard for who we are- it feels so good, yet can be so scary at the same time. It may feel out of reach, and that's okay.
