Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Forgiveness can be one of the most difficult parts of healing, particularly when the hurt involves betrayal, broken trust, or painful experiences within an important relationship. I help individuals and couples explore forgiveness without minimizing what happened or rushing the healing process. Counselling can provide a compassionate space to process hurt, anger, grief, and unresolved emotions while considering what forgiveness may mean in your particular circumstances. Where reconciliation is desired and appropriate, we can also work toward rebuilding trust, strengthening communication, and restoring emotional connection. For clients who wish to incorporate their Christian faith, forgiveness can also be explored through a thoughtful integration of clinical care, faith, and Scripture.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Forgive the person and not the behaviour while still having healthy boundaries and not allowing abuse to continue. When people violate in various ways they are acting from their unconscious wounds and anxieties and are not healthy to be around. Lack of forgiveness negatively affects your health.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Have you been carrying hurt, resentment, guilt, or anger from something that happened in your past? Perhaps someone you trusted deeply disappointed you, a family relationship has become strained, or you find yourself struggling to forgive your own mistakes. Holding onto painful experiences can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, and ability to move forward, even when you genuinely want things to feel different.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling to help you explore forgiveness, emotional healing, and self-compassion at your own pace. Drawing from person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles, I provide a supportive space where you can process difficult emotions, understand the impact of past experiences, and discover what healing means to you.
I believe forgiveness is a personal choice, not an obligation. It doesn't mean excusing harmful behaviour, forgetting what happened, or reconnecting with someone who has hurt you. Sometimes, healing involves establishing healthier boundaries, releasing self-blame, rebuilding trust in yourself, or learning to move forward without receiving an apology.
I also recognize that cultural values, family expectations, and personal beliefs can influence how we understand forgiveness. My culturally responsive approach honours your individual experiences while helping you explore what feels right for you.
Whether you're working through betrayal, family conflict, lingering resentment, or difficulties forgiving yourself, you deserve the opportunity to find peace on your own terms. I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in moving toward greater emotional freedom, self-understanding, and compassion.

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.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Forgiveness can be complicated, especially when you’ve been deeply hurt, betrayed, or let down by someone you trusted. You may feel pressure to “move on” while still carrying anger, grief, resentment, guilt, or confusion about what forgiveness is supposed to mean. I approach forgiveness as a personal process, not an obligation, and never as a requirement to excuse harmful behaviour or restore a relationship. Together, we can explore what you’re carrying, make space for the emotions underneath it, and work toward greater peace, clarity, and freedom on your own terms.

Forgiveness work starts with exploring every obstacle that is in the way of forgiveness, especially ourselves. This work would lead us to more self love and acceptance. I invite you to take the first step towards your freedom and more fulfilled life by reaching out for support.
