Relational Psychotherapy
Katarina Guillen
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Life can be tough, especially if you are feeling stuck, alone, disconnected, burned out, or like something is missing. It takes a great deal of strength and commitment to work on your goals and your relationships, and you have taken an important step in making a change by looking for support. I believe that our lived experiences impact the way we interact with ourselves and others. In exploring these experiences, we can learn to grow, improve our relationships and communication, gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and create meaningful change.
I offer online individual youth and adult psychotherapy. I am here to provide support and guidance for difficulties such as strain in relationships, anxiety, self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, lack of intimacy and connection, difficulties related to parenting or family dynamics, or if you would like to develop emotional insight and emotion regulation skills. I may also be a good fit if you would like to strengthen relationships, work to live your life more aligned with your values and goals, heal past relational pains, develop assertive communication skills, work effectively towards your goals, manage stress or burnout, explore how to increase self-compassion, or develop emotionally informed parenting skills.
I am committed to creating a supportive, collaborative, and compassionate environment in which you feel safe to explore the challenges you are facing. I value meeting you where you are at in your journey, and exploring steps towards meaningful change in your life. Everyone’s needs are different, please reach out to see if I would be a good fit for you!

Alejs Lluis Gonzalez Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed., R.C.C.
I work from a relationally-oriented somatic approach to psychotherapy informed by emergent research on attachment and neurophysiology. Clients who work with me can expect a warm and curious invitation to reconnect and attend to the wisdom inherent in the body. My goal is to support clients in finding creative ways to make sense of and move through distressing experiences related to trauma and/or stresses of daily living.
I work with older youth and adults of all genders and backgrounds who are wanting to explore: anxiety, depression, grief and loss, sustaining healthy relationships, sexualized violence, gender identity, and sexuality.

Suzan Erritzoe, Being One Counselling & Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, Transpersonal Counsellor DK
I help couples and individuals open into more of what most people deeply long for; Intimacy, meaning and real connectedness - to grow into what answers and nurtures Who, and What we are, beyond the conditioned structures of self, and world-created selves.
In our sessions, my aim is to empower this deeper and real self in you; your being- I will reflect back to you what you don't see of your own potential, and I will offer you a way to follow that can only be walked with your heart open...

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Are you seeking a more holistic and connected approach to healing and yearning for something much deeper than counselling sessions? Then Therapeutic Mentorship might be for you! Let's connect and discuss this offering for you!
Somatic therapy and inner child work reside at the core of my work. In session, we use the intelligence of the body in the present moment to allow a deeper exploration that goes beyond the everyday mind. Through this inner witness, we explore past and current relationships to dive deeper into our early wounding. By acknowledging and meeting our younger parts, we allow the pain to transform into self love and acceptance. This approach allows an organic process for our pain and suffering to be witnessed, transformed and integrated. The path of true change! When we are truly heard, seen and received by another human being, we come home to the feelings of belonging and acceptance – what we long for all our lives. I guide a self exploration that encourages deep curiosity to look at all parts of ourselves – the good, the dark, the painful and the joy-filled in a safe, non-judgemental space.
