Nicole Marek
Psychologist, Psychologist/Psychotherapist, OPQ
Post-pandemic life is certainly a new normal. I notice many people are having trouble adjusting to the changes, and cannot quite return to the life they used to know. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I am happy to help you connect to your self, improve your functioning, determine your next moves, and move past any fears or insecurities that are holding you back. I specialize in LGBTQ+ populations, trauma recovery, improving attachment issues, and overcoming depression and anxiety. My preferred modalities are EFT, CBT, ACT, IFS, and SE.

Lydia Bennett
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, BA Psychology
My passion for psychotherapy comes from my own experiences with relationships. I’ve learned that our greatest joys—and our toughest struggles—often come from the connections we share with parents, partners, children, friends, and colleagues. These relationships shape not only how we see the world but also how we experience ourselves.

Bhavna Purswani
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, Counsellor
I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can navigate life’s challenges and feel truly understood. As a neurodivergent, queer affirming, Third Culture Kid who has lived in seven cities across three continents, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the world in ways that help me connect deeply with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This means I’m here to meet you where you are, without judgment or the need to overexplain your identity, values, or passions.
I understand how important it is to feel truly seen and valued. Whether you’re sharing something deeply personal or a niche interest, you’ll find a counsellor who truly gets it - and gets you.
If you’re working through loss, exploring your identity and purpose, or striving for balance in your relationships, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you in a way that feels safer, affirming, and empowering. If this sounds like the support you need, contact me to schedule a consultation.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.
