Healing involves moving beyond distraction and avoidance, and connecting to your innermost self. It is about welcoming your experiences, including the painful parts, without being overwhelmed by them. This is a skill that is developed through inner work practices such as quieting the mind, finding your center, listening to your intuition, letting go of control, and trusting in something greater than your mind. When you get off-track from these inherent abilities, you get signs....your symptoms are like red flags, encouraging you to come back to who you are on the deepest level.

I'm formally trained in Phenomenological-Existentialist Psychology, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness-CBT, Ecopsychology, and Narrative approaches such as Life Designing and Bibliotherapy.
Talking therapy has its benefits. But therapy can be more than talking. For many clients including neurodivergent clients, children and teenagers who love creating stories, imagery, games… people with disabilities who want to explore ways of communicating other than speaking, students and professionals in the creative fields or who would love to start a creative career… for those and others, experiential approaches might work better. Colouring pencils, paint, books, workbooks, journals, board games, toys, artwork, and other displaced objects can become part of insightful sessions!

You’ve worked hard—degrees earned, promotions won, goals achieved. But instead of feeling proud, you’re stuck in burnout. Late nights, racing thoughts, and a never-ending to-do list have you running on fumes. Maybe ADHD has you juggling too much, and now it’s all crashing down. Or imposter syndrome keeps whispering that you’re not enough, no matter what you accomplish. You’re too busy to add one more thing to your plate. You wonder if therapy will actually stick or if it’s just another thing that doesn’t work, asking yourself, what’s the point of being “aware” if nothing really changes? Therapy gives you more than just awareness.

Insomnia is a common complaint and we all know how debilitating sleep problems can make us feel. Sleep is an integral aspect of well-being; however, well-meaning strategies often worsen sleep problems, including improper implementation of sleep hygiene, over-the-counter medications, apps, relaxation, meditation, essential oils, etc. Insomnia contributes to added frustration, anxiety, and depression. Luckily, research has shown that treatment for insomnia is very effective. I specialize in treating insomnia currently through only group therapy.

Andrew Grewal - Trauma and Relationship Therapist
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA
Burlington, ON L7L
Are you experiencing challenges regarding self esteem, feeling emotional overwhelm, and difficulty trusting others? Maybe you're thinking that you care too much? You are probably stuck in a cycle of self doubt, fear of rejection, and an inability to establish healthy boundaries. Relationships can be painful sometimes. And certain memories and anxious thoughts can leave you awake at night, making you uncertain of the future and whether change is even possible. This type of relationship trauma does not only affect your mind but in your body as well. I use a holistic approach to support you in trauma and narcissistic abuse recovery.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
