Therapists in N8M
Hello and welcome! Thank you for taking the step towards improving your well-being and acknowledging the importance of taking care of yourself. In my practice, I believe it is fundamental to be seen, to be heard, and to be validated on how we feel. I am here to hold space and to provide a compassionate and supportive environment, as you express and process all that you feel, all that has happened to you, and all that you are experiencing. Life holds many challenges; I am here to help you move from all the hurt to a place of healing. I welcome teens, adults, couples, and families to connect.

EMDR for Trauma, Grief, Stress, and more.
Hey, I'm Sofia, and since 2018 I've supported over 2000 clients with a wide range of concerns. Maybe you want to make peace with the past, enhance your relationships, problem-solve, improve your sense of self, build skills, manage emotions, or create a present and future you can feel more confident in. Healing can be messy, but fun can be had along the way, too.
My work integrates social and behavioral neuroscience with depth psychology to support you in building meaning for strengthening key skills and habits, and gently exploring the patterns that may be holding you back.

Life can feel like a roller coaster at times. We are all human, which means that we can all become vulnerable at some point. Whatever psychological struggle you are experiencing, please know that I am here to help you to navigate through your difficulties.
I have 18+ years experience in the psychotherapy field (I have worked both in England and also here in Canada) and am trained to provide therapy in both English and Italian.
Whether you would like to conduct therapy in-person or online, please know that you will be in very safe hands.

About Me: Since practicing I have observed that past events unconsciously continue to shape our reactions to our present situations, Often times coping skills that worked for individuals are no longer working now. In an accepting and safe space we will work collaboratively to understand why that is and work toward relieving that activation to move forward. I am here to guide a support you, as you begin this journey of processing and understanding the root of your emotional activation in a healthy way through EMDR. I am excited as you begin this journey and I am looking forward to working with you in the near future.

Welcome! Life presents with many challenges... work stress, relationship stress, health issues, parenting, caregiving of parents, juggling so many different responsibilities. It can seem overwhelming when trying to manage it all. And sometimes struggles or hurts from the past, can seem to creep into our everyday lives when we would much rather leave those hurts behind. What a relief it would be... to release those worries, to alleviate those stresses, to heal those hurts. They are heavy to carry, and as we try to keep going, they get heavier along the way. What if, you could have help, to change that...

Therapy with me is part conversation, part nervous system regulation, part gentle rebellion against the idea that you need to “fix” yourself to be okay. You are not broken, you are human.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in your real life, where you are the expert. I believe insight is great, but relief is better and that curiosity, compassion, and humour are often the best tools for untangling what hurts. I enjoy working with creatives, deep thinkers, and sensitive humans who feel “too much” or “not enough,” and who are ready to understand that those traits might actually be strengths in disguise.

Therapy is a space for radical inner discovery. My therapy approach focuses on increasing your self-compassion, recognizing your strengths, and sitting with your struggles. I connect with people through experience, and our sessions can often be experiential in nature. This can mean a focus on parts work, somatic work, breath work, internal visualization or narrative therapy. My approach to therapy invites you to sit with me in the unknown or the uncomfortable, to build your sense of self-empowerment and discovery.

You may be here because something that used to feel manageable no longer does. Maybe anxiety is louder than it used to be, stress feels constant, or you’re navigating a transition that’s left you feeling unsure of yourself. You might be functioning on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who want more than quick fixes—they want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and build real, lasting change. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down, make sense of patterns, and develop practical tools that actually translate into everyday life.
