Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I became a therapist because I know what it's like to need to rebuild — not just once, but repeatedly, across displacement, across countries, across versions of myself I had to leave behind to survive what came next. That experience shapes almost everything about how I practice today.
I don't believe therapy should feel like something done to you. I see it as a genuine collaboration — you bring your lived experience, I bring my clinical training, and we figure things out together. With your permission, I'll sometimes offer a different way of seeing something: this is what I notice — what do you think? If you see it differently, that's completely fine. We explore from there. Nothing gets handed down as fact.
A lot of the people I work with have already done real work elsewhere. They know their diagnoses, they've learned the coping skills, they can explain their patterns fluently — and it still hurts. That's usually exactly where we begin.
Before I became a therapist, I spent over a decade in the legal field and in ADHD coaching, which means I bring a slightly different lens to trauma, family conflict, and neurodivergence than clinicians who've only trained in one world. I also work with two therapy dogs, Emma and Evee, who often make the room feel safer than words alone can.
If you're the person everyone else relies on, and you're quietly wondering who's supposed to hold you — I'd like to help with that.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Life's challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, and when you're stuck in the same patterns, it's hard to see a way forward. This is a space where that changes. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling lost, you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving toward something better. The goal isn't just to cope, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace what's holding you back with habits that actually nourish you, and reconnect with what brings you peace and fulfillment.
Our approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, drawing on evidence-based therapies that target both symptom relief and deeper lasting change. We specialize in working with trauma, brain injuries, and ADHD, and have built my practice around helping clients in these areas feel truly understood. Together we'll work not just toward insight, but toward real, meaningful change, so you leave sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more equipped to navigate your life and relationships.

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Hi, I’m Kate. I help individuals and couples navigate trauma, relational pain, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your challenges, to help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Past hurts can echo into the present: quick triggers, shutdowns, or the same fight on repeat. Trauma, whether from earlier life experiences or broken trust in relationships, can leave you feeling unsafe in your body and disconnected from the people who matter most.
My approach is compassionate, and collaborative. We will work at a pace that feels manageable, so you can restore trust in yourself and in your relationships.
