Therapists in M5A

What makes you happy? Are you able to achieve the goals you set and have your needs met? Are you able to feel seen and enjoy fulfilling relationships? Or do you feel 'different' from others and want to find your place or reclaim your voice and uniqueness? If this is you, then I can help. Together, we can create opportunities for growth and forward movement from those blocks or patterns of 'stuckness' that hold you back from experiencing a stronger sense of self and confidence.

Taking the first step is often the hardest step. In our work together, I will guide you through a healing process that is realistic and motivating. I take a holistic approach to treatment and draw from a variety of approaches in my clinical practice, including mindfulness-based techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, emotion-focused therapy and motivational interviewing techniques. My professional and academic career has afforded me opportunities to help a diverse range of people in both the private and community sector for the last 10 years.

I offer support to individuals who are seeking assistance and investing in their personal growth and development. I hope to walk alongside you, to empower you to invest in your wellness as we explore your strengths, values and areas of growth. Topics of focus may include: depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem and self-confidence, life transitions, career goals, adjusting to change, and loss. Through experiential cognitive and mindfulness exercises, we may explore your thought patterns, practice training your awareness and experiment with new coping skills.

Natasha Bachoo specializes in sex therapy and has extensive experience working with individuals and couples struggling with challenges that affect their personal wellbeing and relationships, including: relationship anxiety, jealousy, infidelity, sexual inhibitions, navigating different types of relationships, including polyamorous, changes in sexual desire, questioning sexual interest, discomfort with one’s body/body parts, sexual expectations, sexual communication.

The clients that I work with experience various forms of anxiety (i.e. generalized, social, performance, health); panic attacks; self-esteem and self-confidence issues; that negatively impact their school, work, family, relationships, and life in general. Their goals is to better understand and manage emotions, adjust their mindsets (adjust perspectives, change their inner-critic into inner-support), increase their self-esteem and self-confidence, so they can better navigate through life challenges. They regain control over their lives, thus, living in accordance with their own design, continuing to grow and evolve as human beings.

Everyone experiences life challenges. Navigating these challenges can be overwhelming, frustrating, and lonely. Are you exhausted of speaking to people who just don’t seem to understand or might even judge you? Taking the first step to seeking therapy can be terrifying and difficult. We can work together to help you understand what you’re feeling, and ways to manage what life throws your way. I believe feeling safe, understood and supported within a therapeutic space is important. I believe everyone has a unique set of strengths to overcome life challenges.

Are you unhappy with your relationship? Maybe you've been feeling unsupported or disconnected from your partner, or like they no longer listen to you? Does it feel like you've been having the same argument for weeks or months, struggling to communicate and stewing in frustrations rather than having productive conversations?

Through years of life transitions—moving countries, different jobs—I have discovered first-hand how essential selfcare is. As your therapist, I offer a space where you can explore what selfcare means for you as you move through the challenges of life transitions, relationships, work related stress, social anxiety or existential crises. I believe our brains and body store a lot of information and wisdom and we are consciously or subconsciously making decisions which help us move through the world.

Emphatic listening to help you delve deeply into your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Overcome emotional suffering through self exploration and towards inner harmony. The experience of inner disruption or disturbance, emptiness or disquietude, is familiar to almost all individuals seeking psychotherapy. Yet, the search for meaning and transcendence in such suffering allows the patient to attain a harmonious, wholesome existence. The psychoanalytical approach will allow you to discover the origins and meaning of suffering in order to build, re-establish, and reinforce the balance of being-in-the-world.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and hold a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology. I am dedicated to helping others live happy and fulfilling lives. As an individual therapist I am non-judgemental, empathetic and open minded.

Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, we safely build our relationship, while co-creating in our therapeutic studio space.

Sometimes we have a profound sense that the way we have been moving through our lives doesn't fit anymore. This realization can be coupled with anxiety, depression, aggression, sleeplessness, repetitive actions or thoughts, and feelings of isolation or fragmentation. It is hard to find yourself in this place, and even harder to know where to turn. Realizing something isn't quite right is the first step----talking to someone is the next. I offer a 'no fee' 1 hour Introductory Session so that you can see if I am the right therapist for you. I work with Individuals and Couples age 18 and up.

I like to help clients gain new perspectives, gently challenge and encourage change and growth. I work with individuals and couples as well as parents to help them better understand themselves and their relationships with others in their lives. Exploring issues of failure, loss, fear, shame, anxiety and depression can be scary, but with the help of a psychotherapist it can be less intimidating and ultimately liberating. Working collaboratively with my clients in an empathic, non-judgmental and safe space, I am passionate about helping them improve their relationships, deal with difficult personal issues and life transitions.
