Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Finding the right support can feel like a journey through uncharted territory- especially when you feel stuck, alone, or hopeless. But know this: You're not alone. My name is Tharani (Thar) and I am a Registered Psychotherapist, ready to walk alongside you on this path to healing and growth. Whether you're grappling with past traumas, overcoming addiction, navigating the complexities of anxiety, or seeking to improve your relationships, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, you reclaim control over your life and feel empowered to make positive choices for yourself and your future.

Most problems rarely have universal solutions, and therapy shouldn't either. That's why I believe in an "Integrated Approach" to therapy, blending modalities like CBT, DBT, ACT, parts work, attachment, and EMDR. Let's create a personalized roadmap for your journey, refining and adapting along the way.

So, take a deep breath, and know that you've already taken the first step toward a brighter, more fulfilling future. I'm honoured to be a part of your journey, and I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you as you reclaim your strength, resilience, and joy.

We'll target goals in two stages: 1) dealing with what's affecting you day-to-day, and 2) delving deeper when you're ready. First, focusing on building skills, nurturing relationships, managing stress, or setting up routines to boost confidence and bring balance. Once things are more manageable, we'll dive into deeper topics like past experiences or attachment. We'll take it at your pace.

I often use DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) to strengthen areas of mindfulness, interpersonal skills, tolerating distress, and regulating emotions. Together, we can learn how to work through difficult times and explore why we turn to distraction or avoidance at times of distress. Let's build awareness on our blindspots, and shine light on where we need to go.
