Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, confused, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as habits or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
You may be here because something in your life or relationships no longer feels workable. Perhaps you are caught in the same conflict with your partner, feeling disconnected from sex or intimacy, questioning parts of your identity, or carrying more pressure than you can comfortably hold. You might still be functioning well on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or far from yourself.
I work with individuals and couples navigating relationships, intimacy, queer and gender identity, neurodivergence, burnout, grief, chronic illness, trauma, and life transitions. I am queer and neurodivergent, and my practice is queer-affirming, sex-positive, kink-affirming, and welcoming of diverse relationship structures.
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I draw from relational, narrative, psychodynamic, attachment-based, Gottman-informed, and somatic approaches. We will look at how patterns developed, what continues to reinforce them, and what they may be costing you now. Therapy can offer a place to understand yourself more clearly, communicate more honestly, and build relationships that feel more connected and sustainable.

Client Care, Atrium
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
When someone is struggling, I try to understand the full story of their experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms or labels. I’m often curious about how early experiences, family dynamics, and past relationships may have shaped the way someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. Unresolved childhood experiences can play a powerful role in how we interpret situations and respond emotionally, so part of our work may involve gently exploring those patterns and understanding how they continue to influence the present.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
My journey into this field is deeply personal. Having lived with anxiety, navigated grief, and taken on caregiving responsibilities early in life, I became committed to understanding mental health not only intellectually but in ways that could support genuine coping and healing.
I understand what it can feel like to be stuck, lost, or caught in what seems like an endless loop of discouragement and emotional fatigue. These experiences have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work.
Through my work with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, I have come to believe that human resilience is universal. Even in the most difficult circumstances, people find ways to endure and move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your inner strength—helping you find clarity, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of hope and trust in your path forward.
