Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
I offer warm, attuned, and inclusive online therapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the complexities of identity, family, and work. My approach integrates Gestalt, IFS (parts work), and somatic strategies to support nervous system regulation and deeper self-understanding. I hold space for the full range of your experience—without judgment—and tailor our work to what feels most supportive and effective for you. Healing, to me, is not just personal—it’s also a step toward creating a more compassionate world.

Rose laure Agbazan
Hypnotherapist, Clinical hypnotherapist, Clinical Aromatherapist CAHP
I work with individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or never quite “enough” on the inside.
My approach is rooted in one core belief: healing begins when your nervous system feels safe. Many of the struggles my clients carry — anxiety, overachievement, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, addictive coping — started as intelligent survival responses. Rather than trying to fix you, I help you understand and gently unwind the patterns that once protected you.
My work blends trauma-informed hypnotherapy with grounded, compassionate guidance. You remain aware and in control at all times. Together, we work at a pace that respects your body’s wisdom. We focus on rebuilding self-trust, strengthening emotional regulation, and cultivating a sense of inner safety that is not dependent on performance, productivity, or approval.
I am especially passionate about supporting those who have spent years proving, holding everything together, or caring for everyone else — while quietly feeling exhausted inside. You do not have to earn rest. You do not have to achieve to be worthy. Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about returning to yourself.
If you are ready to feel steady, supported, and more at home within your own body, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Contact me for a free consultation.

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.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
What I offer isn't a formula. It's a real conversation — one that gets underneath the noise and into what's actually driving the patterns. My focus is simple: helping you simplify your life, reconnect with what love and joy mean to you, and re-establish yourself on your own terms.
Life is change. Stagnant water goes stale — but flowing water nourishes everything it touches. Therapy is how you keep moving, on purpose, toward the life that's meant for you.
That change can begin with a single session

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.
