Welcome! I’m Katalin - founder of Ascendy Therapy, where I offer flexible online sessions. I am also available for in-person meetings at Sante Group HealthCare in Pickering. Are you carrying the weight of narcissistic abuse, broken attachments, intergenerational pain—or navigating challenges with anxiety, identity, or self-worth? Do you feel misunderstood, yearning for a space where you’re truly seen and heard? In our sessions, you’ll find compassion, acceptance, and genuine connection. I honour your identity, cultural roots and spiritual wisdom as we co-create a healing path that supports your growth and empowers you to ascend.

At Sante Group, I offer Integrated Sensory Psychotherapy (ISP)—a unique holistic blend of talk therapy, somatic techniques, vagus nerve stimulation, and mindfulness. This nurturing, grounding approach supports deep healing. I also incorporate many of these elements into my online sessions, ensuring that healing remains accessible, flexible, and effective.

Feeling curious or ready to explore therapy? I invite you to reach out here or through my website for a welcoming chat. Every journey starts with a single step — I would be honoured to walk with you as you take yours. Because your healing journey deserves immediate care, I respond the same day. Services are available in English and Hungarian.
