Wayne Dewhurst
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CAMFT
When life or relationships become difficult, having someone who can help you step back, make sense of what is happening, and find a way forward can make a real difference. Wayne brings a down-to-earth and thoughtful approach to therapy. He believes meaningful change starts with being able to speak honestly about what is going on and feeling genuinely heard along the way. His goal is to help clients gain perspective, have more productive conversations, and develop practical ways to move forward. If something in your life or relationship isn't working the way you want it to, Wayne offers a place to start.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CSAT
I’m trained in Partner and Betrayal Trauma Therapy and work with both those impacted by betrayal and individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours. I offer a space where you can be honest about what’s happening without fear of judgment, while still making room for healing, accountability, and meaningful change that lasts.
