Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. ____________ Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
If you are exhausted by traditional therapies that treat your distress as an individual defect to be managed, I invite you into a different kind of therapeutic alliance. Based online in Vancouver and available across Canada, my practice focuses on deep nervous system awareness, somatic tracking, and creative exploration. I view your anxiety, numbness, or protective armor not as dysregulation to be aggressively corrected, but as highly intelligent survival responses to historical trauma and everyday systemic oppression. Our work together is unhurried, deeply relational, and focused on cultivating genuine self-compassion and embodied safety from the inside out.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I provide online psychotherapy for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—often due to trauma, high-conflict relationships, ADHD, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing and burnout. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally with anxiety, guilt, emotional shutdown, or difficulty regulating stress.
My approach is trauma-informed and emotion-focused, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic-based strategies to help you better understand your emotional world, heal from past experiences, and build practical tools for everyday life. Therapy with me is structured yet flexible, grounded in safety, clarity, and respect for your pace.
Online sessions are available across Ontario and provide a calm, supportive space to do meaningful therapeutic work—whether you are processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or working toward greater emotional balance and self-trust.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone? I would love to support you with therapy personalized to you and your unique needs. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, the world, our family and friends. We don't know what to do about it and it can make us feel utterly alone. Together we can find a path forward so you can move more easily and authentically through life. I work with people experiencing struggles like self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in relationships or new stages of life.
My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental. You will hear me say “that makes sense because…” a lot. My goal is to create a space where you can understand what is going on in your life. Because when we understand and accept where we are, we can begin to see a different path for our future - and begin to like ourselves and our lives life more.

Online in Victoria, BC
Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
