Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Living with BPD often means feeling everything at maximum volume: emotions that hit like waves, relationships that swing between closeness and fear of abandonment, and an unstable sense of who you are underneath it all. It's an exhausting way to live, and it's so often met with judgment instead of understanding. That changes here. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space where your intensity is not too much, and where we work together to make sense of your emotional world rather than pathologize it. Drawing on approaches like DBT, the goal isn't just crisis management, it's to genuinely understand yourself, build skills that steady your emotions and relationships, and develop a more solid, compassionate sense of who you are. Together we'll work toward feeling more regulated, more secure in your connections, and more equipped to build a life that feels worth living.

Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition where you have challenges controlling emotions. You feel emotions more intensely and for longer than the average person.
Strong emotions (guilt, shame, anxiety, etc.) can be very painful and you may become angry easily. It is often difficult to feel positive emotions, like happiness and it can feel impossible to control your emotions. Relationships with your family and friends are affected by these emotions, and feelings of loneliness and isolation are a result.
When emotions run your life, you can experience extra challenges, such as:
Overreacting
Mood swings
Frequent crises
Suicidal thoughts and destructive behaviour
Impulsiveness
Substance misuse
Relationship problems
Fear of abandonment
Are these challenges familiar? Have you done a counselling program in the past to address these issues but would like to continue counselling?
The good news is that I have been providing counselling to individuals, and their partners/family members, who struggle with BPD and other challenges since 2015. I have experience helping people learn new skills and to change behaviours and take control of their lives.
Counselling can help you understand BPD and provide you with emotional support, skills and training to manage your emotions and improve your relationships with loved ones.
