Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
There is a lot of talk about forgiveness these days. A popular notion is that we must forgive if we want to move forward but I find this a little confusing? I think to forgive oneself is important. Mega important. To understand why we do the things we do - and why someone else did to us what they did to us - is also important. But... Is it really up to us to judge and forgive someone else for their actions? Do we have that responsibility? We can hear their apology if one is forthcoming. But our responsibility is to ourselves (and to our young children). I believe we are free to choose how we wish to move forward and create our life from this moment. We are each of us, as adults, responsible for our own actions. People who have hurt us in some way are responsible for themselves. If forgiving is important to us, we can explore that. However Dr Rosenberg said that in order to be happy we must get to know ourselves, understand our needs and arrange our lives so that those needs are met. Our loved ones will naturally benefit from our happiness. (Of course we should never hurt anyone physically either, other than in self defence.)

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with forgiveness, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who are carrying unresolved hurt, betrayal, conflict, or self-blame. Forgiveness can sometimes feel impossible but it can also be deeply freeing. In our work together, forgiveness is not about excusing harm or rushing the healing process. It’s about helping you release what no longer serves you and reclaim your peace.
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore difficult emotions, set healthy boundaries, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you are seeking closure, reconciliation, or self-forgiveness, we will move at a pace that feels right for you.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are wrestling with forgiveness, you may feel torn between wanting peace and still carrying hurt. You might replay what happened, struggle with anger, or feel pressured by others to “just move on.” Forgiveness can feel confusing, especially if the wound was deep or trust was broken.
At Selah Counselling, we approach forgiveness with honesty and care. We do not rush the process or minimize the pain. Forgiveness is not pretending something did not happen, and it is not the same as reconciliation or removing healthy boundaries. Together, we explore the impact of the hurt, strengthen emotional regulation, and help you process grief and anger safely. Over time, forgiveness can release what no longer serves you, freeing you from carrying what was never yours to hold forever. The goal is clarity, strength, and peace that grows from truth rather than pressure.

Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Carrying resentment, past hurts, or unresolved grievances can act like an invisible anchor, keeping you tied to pain long after the event has passed. Forgiveness is rarely a simple or straightforward path, and it doesn't mean forgetting, excusing, or minimizing what happened—rather, it is a deeply personal journey toward freeing yourself from the weight of the past. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we will work collaboratively to untangle the complex emotions surrounding the hurt, gently explore what forgiveness could look like for you on your own terms, and help you reclaim your peace and emotional freedom.

It can be very hard to foregive and often we get 'stuck' in the cycle of anger and regret, often with ourselves. Together we explore how to get 'unstuck'.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
Are you so angry or hurt by someone else's actions that you don't feel able to forgive your offender? Do you feel like forgiving would be letting your offender off the hook? Do you think that forgiveness means forgetting? Or that forgiving requires you to trust them again? What if your offender shows no remorse - does this mean you don't need to forgive?
If you're having difficulty forgiving or even understanding how to go about that, I can help you understand what forgiveness is and what forgiveness isn't. If you have a backpack of "rocks" labelled hurt, resentment and anger, I can help you "drop the rocks"?

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Forgiveness can be hard, especially when you have felt hurt, betrayed or let down. Whether you are looking to forgive others or forgive yourself, we provide support to radically accept what occurred and find ways to move forward in life. Through an exploration of compassion, naming one's needs, and addressing accountability, while recognizing that all humans are imperfect, we can work through forgiveness-an act that can liberate yourself from feelings of bitterness, anger and resentment.

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to therapy around forgiveness centers on helping clients process hurt and resentment in a safe and supportive space. I guide individuals in exploring their emotions, understanding the impact of past experiences, and distinguishing between letting go and excusing harmful behavior. Using evidence-based strategies and reflective techniques, I help clients develop compassion for themselves and others, reduce lingering emotional pain, and foster a sense of inner peace. My goal is to empower clients to release burdens that no longer serve them, strengthen emotional resilience, and move forward with clarity and balance.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a requirement for healing, but I believe it is a deeply personal choice. Drawing on over 15 years of experience working with survivors of complex trauma and abuse, I understand that for some, choosing not to forgive is a vital act of self-protection and boundary-setting.
In our work, there is no pressure to reach a state of forgiveness to 'earn' your peace. Instead, we focus on helping your 'parts' find relief from the burden of the past. Whether you choose to forgive or you choose to hold your boundary, my goal is to help you move toward a life of clarity and internal stability—free from the judgment of others and the weight of old wounds.
