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.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we believe that healing is not something a therapist does to a client, but something that emerges from the quality of the relationship between them. Grounded in scientific research, counselling theory, and clinical experience, our approach helps people access their own innate capacity for change, whether they are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, or the weight of emotions that have long felt out of control. We serve individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life circumstances, and we are committed to creating a space where every person who walks through our doors feels met with genuine empathy, cultural competence, and the kind of non-judgmental presence that makes honest conversation possible. Because we know that no single practitioner can serve all people, our diverse group practice exists to ensure that whoever you are and whatever you are carrying, there is someone here who is the right fit for you.

Tangled Minds Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Therapy can be tough. Often it's not fun - exploring the painful parts of ourselves, confronting our beliefs that keep us stuck, challenging our behaviors that keep us from fulling being present in our lives, learning new ways to be with our emotions, and setting goals that will probably be difficult to do. This is what sets therapy apart from a conversation with a good friend. My role is to provide a space for you to show up, exactly how you are, open up, be seen, and have a professional with years of experience guide you in how to navigate the maze that mental health problems create.

Berry Didier Nibogora - Bilingual CBT therapist @ CMAP Health
Counsellor/Therapist, RP(Q), CCPA, LLM
You are looking for help and you need someone who uses effective, person-centered and science-backed strategies to address issues you are having. Someone who gives you the space you need in your imperfections and struggles and walks, collaboratively with you, to unpack the processes that got you where you are today and kept you stuck in the same issues. I am the one. I use your strengths, resources and skills you have (or learn alongside) to get to your best hopes. I embody the conviction that you are unique and you need tailored interventions that speak to your lived reality. Sometimes we are so much stuck in our distorted reality and we need someone to help us gain insight and a different perspective. To guide us in our journey towards discovering behaviours and thinking patterns that may have been useful in the past, but no longer serving us today . I am transparent, use collaboration and believe in your ability to own and work for the change that aligns with your framework and values. It is only when we unpack what has been happening, what has maintained the circle and accept ourselves in our maladaptive realities that we can change.
I operate from a strengths-based, schemas focused and CBT perspectives. I am all into precision and measurement of progress both in our working alliance and in the interventions I use. I give and facilitate hope while supporting you to find inner resources and ways to autonomously use them to get where you want to be. Call or email me today for a free 15minutes consultation.
