Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
When everything looks right but something still feels off, somatic, trauma-focused therapy is where the work begins.
You already recognize the pattern. Understanding it hasn't closed the gap between knowing and feeling, because the real shift happens in the body, not the story.
Maybe you've done therapy already, and you still don't have what you came for: the ability to make a decision without arguing with yourself, to feel present in your own life, to sleep without your mind still running.
What this supports, over time, is a slow and gentle return to aliveness.

Ramelle Masters
Psychologist, MACP, R. Psych
I operate from a client centred, trauma informed approach that is grounded in neurobiology. This means I honour each client as they show up in session and we unpack together how their traumatic experience may have formed who they are today. We spend time understanding how trauma impacts the brain and nervous system, not just how it shows up in behaviour. Through psychoeducation and experiential work, you'll learn how survival patterns form after traumatic experiences. Rather than only managing symptoms, we work at the root level - helping your brain and nervous system process and integrate what was overwhelming. Shifting what's happening on the inside facilitates lasting behavioural change and a more stables sense of self becomes possible.

Russ Webb - Insight Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, MPCC
I am an experienced therapist who is still endeavouring to grow and learn from the clients with whom I am honoured to work. I recognize that clients have different needs and aspirations about what they want to get out of therapy and I love to work with them to improve their lives and give the insight to understand and accept themselves more so.

You don’t have to have your life perfectly figured out, and things don’t need to look flawless on paper to justify seeking support. Sometimes, you just feel a persistent sense that something is off, even if you can’t quite put your finger on it right now. Whether you are a creative, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a mother, or a father, it is incredibly common to find yourself quietly exhausted, feeling stuck, or questioning if the way you’ve been living actually works for you anymore. You might just feel ready for a change and a return to who you truly are.Traditional talk therapy is wonderful, but often the root of our pain or patterns lives deeper than words can reach. In my practice, I utilize Brainspotting—a powerful, neuro-experiential modality that serves as a way of working through deep-seated issues without having to talk through them endlessly. By integrating Brainspotting with nervous system regulation, CBT, and somatic tools, we look beneath the surface to safely locate and process hidden emotional stress, anxiety, or stored trauma. Together, we will finally take down the heavy things that have been "sitting on the shelf" for years, gently breaking them down into manageable, bite-sized pieces so your nervous system never feels overwhelmed.I support individuals navigating:A general sense of "stuckness," low mood, or a lost direction—even if it's hard to nameThe everyday pressures of running a business, creative burnout, or parenting demandsGently processing early life dynamics or long-standing patterns that still echo in your life todayReclaiming your personal boundaries and safely reconnecting with your body after times of stress or disruption. Overcoming deep-seated people-pleasing patterns, self-doubt, and an absence of self-compassionIf you’re feeling unseen or simply ready for something to shift, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll create a supportive, collaborative path forward. I offer individual online therapy as well as healing group therapy sessions designed to help you reconnect and grow.
