Zana London
Registered Social Worker, MSW
Verified
Given my training in both medicine and psychology, I provide holistic therapy using evidence-based modalities including
Emotionally Focused
Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness Informed Practices.
I am a friendly, non-judgemental, and genuinely want to support you in helping you feel better. As a humanistic and experiential therapist, I specialize in emotion and attachment. Often clients will come to therapy seeking help for a particular issue, however, once we start working together we usually discover hidden emotions that are associated with a different and more deeply rooted issue - usually stemming from difficult past experiences.

I strive to create a safe, compassionate, respectful and non-judgmental space; one where you feel comfortable to freely explore and express your inner reality. I bring humour and curiousity to the therapy relationship, integrating a relational, client-centered, trauma-informed and emotionally-focused approach. Collaboratively, I hope to help you make sense of your story (however messy that is or has been) and to re-author it, to help you draw on your internal resources, to shine a light on the potential that you know you have, and to be in a secure and supportive relationship with you while you move towards a life of authenticity.

In addition to my Master's in Psychotherapy, I've trained for an additional year in
Emotionally Focused
Therapy - proven to be the best therapy for helping couples break negative cycles.
I help couples who aren't satisfied in their relationships, and individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. The clients I see are hurting, but they're capable, smart, and ready to break free from negative patterns. If you're struggling in your relationship, maybe you've tried voicing your concerns but the communication in your relationship just isn't working. You want to feel connected again, instead of holding back your concerns and growing further apart.

I’ve been there, and I am here for you. I'm an author, a professional trainer, a coach, a mother, and someone who has experienced more than one or two big life transitions. I provide support for people ages 18 and older, students experiencing anxiety or depression, new parents, people who need support with career transitions, and newcomers to Canada.

Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP

I provide a safe place for clients to share their most vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I help you figure out what is keeping you stuck and work with you toward the goals that you believe will make your life more fulfilling. I do this by helping you challenge thoughts and beliefs that leave you feeling sad or anxious, helping you understand and share your emotions with others, and by aiding you in changing behaviours you no longer find useful. I use a combination of
emotionally focused
therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and trauma informed therapy.
Couples Therapist- Maryann Dawood
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MPharm, MA, RP (Q)

Emotionally Focused
Therapy is a tried and tested modality.
You’re probably feeling so alone and hopeless right now. The relationship you once looked to for strength and joy is beginning to feel like a source of pain and disconnection. You feel like you have tried everything that you know to make your relationship better. You’ve tried talking about your issues but somehow always end up spiraling into a fight- leaving you feeling frustrated, disconnected and more hurt each time. You worry about where your relationship is headed if something doesn’t change. I want you to know you are in the right place. You can transform your disconnection and negative communication patterns into connection.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist I weave together approaches from
Emotionally Focused
Therapy, depth psychology and soul-oriented wisdom traditions from all over the world.
We all experience times in life when we feel overwhelmed, anxious or in grief. Life's challenges can sometimes take a toll on our sense of well-being. This is especially true during this Covid-19 pandemic with its accompanying social distancing, isolation and stress. When anxiety, fear, grief or relationship difficulties arise you may feel even more vulnerable. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore your feelings, uncover insights and develop greater self-awareness and compassion. Together we can create new coping skills that will support you and your loved ones during these exceptional times.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Idowu and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My aim is to provide a safe space where my clients can feel seen and heard, as they embark on a journey towards peace, progress and healing. As a Nigerian-Canadian woman, I have both personally endured and been exposed to the struggles of others who look like me and share similar experiences. That is why I make it a priority to create and hold space for those who may struggle with their identity, and relate to experiences of feeling unheard and unseen.

Do you suffer from overwhelming emotions, depression, or anxiety? Are you feeling adrift or disconnected in your relationships? I bring an open curiosity to your experiences – whatever those may be – and, working together, we can uncover and navigate the internal and external obstacles you face. My goal as your therapist is to create a genuine, empathetic relationship between you and I, through which healing and change can take place. I also see individuals as embedded in broader social contexts that shape how we think, feel, and behave, and which may be implicated in psychological and interpersonal problems.

I am so happy you found your way here. Whatever has motivated you to seek help, I am glad you have taken this bold first step in starting your journey. I specialize in working with past childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem/self-worth, and relationship issues. Are you someone who has had a difficult childhood which left you feeling unloved and unheard? Someone who tends to be a people pleaser and can't say "no" to others? Are you overly critical with yourself, constantly doubting yourself, feeling unsatisfied in yourself and in your relationships? Someone who fears failure, judgement, rejection and abandonment.
Specialized Couples and Relationship Therapist
Registered Social Worker, EdD, MSW, RSW

I use the gold standard of evidence-based treatment for my clients called
Emotionally Focused
Therapy (EFT).
As a husband and father, I understand the challenges we can encounter in our most intimate circle. I am wholly invested in couple and relationship-centred therapy. The pandemic taught me there is no reason to restrict my specialized couples and relationship focused practice to my postal code. Presenting issues impacting the couples relationship include: past trauma; infidelity; communication; addiction; parenting; life stressors; sex and intimacy; ADHD; anxiety and depression. I offer limited slots for individuals wanting an emotionally-focused approach, or wanting to do their own work before engaging in couples therapy.

Based on an assessment with you, we determine the best approach to meet your goals, and emotional needs towards personal health and growth. A few of the therapeutic approaches I use include, but not limited to, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which highlights thoughts, dysfunctional (unhelpful) thinking, and assumptions. We will explore the unique meaning you make of situations and events. I also use Emotionally Focussed Therapy, mindfulness techniques that rely on neurosciences to restore emotional integrity, narrative therapy, and reconstruction therapy.

Emotionally Focused Counsellors
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. Hamilton Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
