We all have experiences that contribute to our story, sometimes we have stories that are no longer serving us. In my opinion, we can change our narrative and our story’s trajectory. One experience can remain a page rather than taking on the whole book. I believe in creating a space where growth can be fostered, vulnerability can be embraced, change can be created, and connection can be honored. Each session is as unique as the individual I am sitting across from. wish to walk alongside my clients as they step away from their old narratives and help create a new one that is better aligned with who they are and who they wish to be.

It is inevitable that at some point in our lives we will all experience stress in one of its many forms. Difficulties with relationships, jobs, loss, health, trauma and even the relentlessness of a fast-paced lifestyle can lead us to feel overwhelmed and even helpless. Our bodies are designed to allow us to cope with the typical stressors that we come up against in daily life. Unfortunately, the systems we use to manage challenges sometimes become overwhelmed or fail to function in an optimal manner, this can lead to symptoms that can be difficult to manage alone.

Welcome to Safe Have Holistic Counselling – My name is Magdalena. Through Safe Haven, I will provide you with a range of options and modalities to help you heal and find ways to be happy, content, and free from whatever hurt and pain you are carrying with you at this time. So many people struggle through life on their own. Maybe you’re here because you’re feeling depressed, anxious and insecure – maybe you feel stuck in life and don’t know how to move forward. Perhaps you are here because you are struggling in your relationships, or you feel alone as you move through life. Let me be your Safe Haven.

Each person’s experiences can only be witnessed and felt from their own perspective. I recognize that every person has an innate human need to be heard, witnessed, respected, and honored in those experiences. The focus of my practice is to honor every individual's unique feelings, circumstances, and experiences without interpreting them. My goal is to find the deepest meanings to their experiences. I want to help them heal from those experiences and help them to integrate them into becoming empowered to live their fullest lives.

Accepting NEW Clients. Can you imagine living a more positive life, feeling calmer, stronger and more able to act on your choices? Counselling is intended to be a safe, collaborative and solution focused to empower you for life. Life can give us unexpected challenges that we may be unprepared to handle and can lead to feelings such as anxiety, depression, anger, fear, sadness and grief. Are you looking for a safe space and help in navigating overwhelm, conflict and grief that comes from our complex world? Supporting individuals and families through difficult situations has been my passion and focus for over twenty years.

People often come to therapy with hopes of feeling happier and more fulfilled, yet the process of change can be frightening and uncomfortable. I want my clients to feel they are in the driver's seat, with access to the brake and gas. I am the passenger with the road map. I will guide their healing journey but they choose the direction and pace. I truly believe the only thing more frightening than 'change' is the status quo. Why settle? You deserve more!

My goal is to help people heal, change, and grow. While working with individuals in various stages of adulthood, I emphasize the importance of having an accepting and judgement free environment to explore experiences and emotions. Are you seeking one-on-one support for issues that you are dealing with in your daily life? You feel like you are wearing a mask. You go to work and act like you have it all together but inside you feel stuck and helpless. You have a loving family and great friends, but you feel disconnected from them. You feel overwhelmed, and have no idea where to start.
