Helen Beynon
Registered Clinical Counsellor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
I help thoughtful women transform “never enough” into calm confidence. If you look successful on the outside yet secretly wrestle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or exhaustion from trying to keep it all together, you’re not alone. You don't have to stay stuck - together we’ll turn survival patterns into sustainable self-trust so you can enjoy relationships, work, and your own company.

Maiya Robbie
Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Registered Expressive Arts Therapist
My approach is compassionate, curious, resourcing, arts-based and informed by my particular constellation of interests and experiences in the field of psychotherapy.

Cayla Townes
Registered Psychotherapist
After years of working in a variety of settings with clients struggling with different life challenges, there's not much I haven't seen.

Alli Parker
Registered Clinical Counsellor
Do you feel like you are too much and not enough all at the same time? Do you hear the phrase ‘just love your body’ and you know deeply that there is more to that statement? Our society holds many messages about being acceptable and conforming while we just want to trust what’s right for us. My practice is here for people seeking to develop trusting and compassionate relationship with themselves.
Li Li
Registered Psychotherapist
Li offers relational psychoanalytic and trauma-focused somatic/EMDR/IFS therapy, to support clients in communities such as immigrants, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent (ADHD), and professionals, whose experiences resonate with her own life journey the most. She holds a compassionate, culturally attuned space where clients can explore how early wounds, cultural expectations, and identity intersect.
Deanna Smith
Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
I help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or lost in their own life. Maybe you’re tired of holding it all together, reacting in ways you don’t like, or putting everyone else first and losing yourself in the process. I also support couples stuck in the same fight, feeling more like roommates, or scared to be honest.
