Many people reach a point where stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles begin repeating in ways that feel confusing or overwhelming. I work with individuals and couples to understand the deeper patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Therapy with me focuses on clarity, self awareness, and practical steps toward meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and stability.

Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
My goal in therapy is to create a space where you can say the things you haven’t felt able to say anywhere else. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who carry a lot on their own. They may talk things through with friends or family at times, but often hesitate to go too far because they don’t want to burden the people around them. In therapy, you have a place where you can speak freely and be fully heard.
Clients often tell me they’re surprised by how much they have to say once they begin. They may have spent years thinking through challenges in their lives, but haven’t had the opportunity to explore those thoughts out loud in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My role isn’t to criticize the past, rush to conclusions, or tell you what decisions you should make. Instead, I focus on helping you understand your experiences, clarify what matters most to you, and find practical ways forward that feel authentic and sustainable.
I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps you better understand both your strengths and the challenges that come with them. Many qualities that serve us well in life—like sensitivity, dedication, or a strong work ethic—can also create difficulties when they become overwhelming or unbalanced. Together, we explore how these qualities shape your experiences, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and build on the strengths that can help you move forward.
Sometimes this work involves learning specific tools or skills. Other times it involves taking the time to reflect, share important stories, and gain new perspective. Either way, my aim is to help you uncover resources within yourself that may have been overlooked and to support you in navigating difficult moments with greater clarity and confidence.
I tailor my approach to each person I work with because every individual’s experiences and goals are different. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, OCD, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and make meaningful progress.

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.
