“The object isn’t to make art,it’s to be in that wonderful statewhich makes art inevitable.” Robert Henri

 Bio  

For me Psychotherapy is an art form, one that turns the promise of reality into being. Every conversation is a chance to test, review, practice and engage with the art of making living life lighter…

About Michael:
I am a warm, compassionate and experienced therapist that uses analogy, metaphor and personal insights to inform the work of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy came as a result of trying a number of different roles in a range of settings including, youth work, basketball coaching, mentoring at 2 high schools, provision of psychotherapy at a range of settings including a Drs. surgery, schools and at a number of prisons. My practice makes use of my background and culture both African and Caribbean. Originally from London UK. I have supported clients including couples, families and individuals to work through life’s challenging transitions that have included: aging, immigration, finding meaningful work, consideration of cultural identity and exploring what this may mean living in Canada. I am committed to providing those that work for me to heal from past wounds. My practice as a psychotherapist supports you in the initial meetings to feel understood, seen, valued and heard. As an experienced psychotherapist I work hard to provide a meaningful connection to the work.

My psychotherapeutic approach is integrative and make use of a number of counselling theories to create a bespoke approach that supports clients on their psychotherapeutic journey. As mentioned earlier I enjoy all forms of art and work psychotherapeutically to enable clients to remove past hurts to discover their creative expression. 

I work with clients using a person centred and human to human relational understanding of the concern, followed by a psychodynamic development of their principle schema presentation. EMDR and trauma-informed counselling approaches are also a part of my methodology. I am fascinated by client’s formation of solutions around complex problems that may have become stuck and are increasing difficulty. My interest is in working with individuals who are committed to navigating a way beyond their set of challenges who are as curious and courageous to move forward as I will be in the therapeutic process. I enjoy the arrival of creativity in supporting solutions to long held client challenges. My belief is that our work together can find peace in your life no matter how long it has been hiding!

“Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.”

Noam Shpancer, PhD

About Anna

I value the courage it takes to show up to a therapeutic space and honour this with commitment to providing a non-judgmental  and empathetic space that allows a person to be seen and to share their story. Relationships play a crucial role in our lives. In therapy, relationships are equally important as they create a safe and trusting environment that is built on trust, empathy, and understanding. Together, we can create a plan that is tailored specifically for you as well as your needs to meet your goals and improve your sense of well-being.

As a therapist, I believe in the power of integrating a variety of coping strategies and techniques to best support individuals and families. Each person is unique and may respond differently to different approaches, which is why flexibility and listening to the approach that resonates with a client is key.  I recognize the importance of meeting people where they are and embracing diverse approaches to seeking solutions.

 I came into this work through my own lived experience with mental health, identity, ADHD, family dynamics, and the pressure of expectations. I know the difference it makes to finally feel clarity, be supported, and ready for real change.

I tell it how it is—no sugar coating, no fluff. If you keep getting in your own way, we’re going to name it. We’re not here to blame your parents, past relationships, friends, or society. We’re here to understand the impact those experiences had on you—how they shaped the way you think, react, and carry yourself today. From there, we sift, sort, and shift—perspectives of the world, your inner and outer life—staying curiously connected as we do the work. Underneath all the stress, burnout, anger, and self-doubt—you’re still in there. This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about creating space to explore, heal, and align with who you really are.

Areas of Practice;

anger, anxiety, ADHD, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship issues, self-harm/suicidal ideation, behavioural issues, PTSD, self-esteem/confidence, couples therapy, corporate consulting/coaching, life coaching, or simply the weight of carrying too much on your own, this work helps you untangle the layers and see yourself clearly

 Bio 

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), my clinical work is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a collaborative approach that supports clients in understanding the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together, we explore patterns that may no longer serve them and work toward developing more adaptive ways of thinking and responding. I strive to create a safe and collaborative space where people feel empowered to explore their story and define what meaningful change looks like for them. Outside of my work, I enjoy long walks with my dog Bella, spending time with friends and family, travelling, and contributing to community initiatives through volunteer work.

Bio  

About me:

I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to the therapeutic space and work with a deep commitment to each client’s unique process. I specialize in mood and personality disorders and offer spiritually integrative therapy that honours both psychological and existential dimensions of healing. While I do not currently provide couples or family therapy, my work is strongly informed by family systems theory, recognizing the relational contexts that shape our experiences. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Spiritual Care and am currently completing graduate studies in Developmental Psychology. I support individuals across the lifespan, particularly those feeling stuck or seeking meaningful change, healing, and growth.
My approach is relational and trauma-informed, emphasising safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s pace.
