You are ready to change your relationship with yourself and others.
People start to heal when they are heard. Do you feel anxious, misunderstood, alone, and overwhelmed? Is trying to control your reactions and feelings not working? Do you feel disconnected from your feelings or controlled by them? Are you disillusioned about your life? Perhaps you have a sense of not getting to the root of your struggles. You keep noticing the same dynamics, relationships and struggles you had in the past. This repetitive nature leaves you feeling discouraged and out of control of your life. It is hard to contemplate reaching out for help when you have taken pride in figuring things out for yourself.

Growth and transformation are largely based on an environment of safety, compassion, and collaboration. The client-counsellor relationship is foundational, and I use an integrative, personalized approach with each client. I encourage clients to use their own understanding of experiences as a platform for healing, and together, we work to discover clarity, develop awareness, and create balance.

I abide by a non-judgmental and compassionate framework, and I can assist you individually or in a couples/ relationship setting.
Hi, I am Andressa Taverna. Being a trauma survivor has moulded me and impacted my life in many obvious and also many mysterious ways. Numbing out and dissociating has helped me bear the trauma, but burying it deep and pretending it didn’t exist never really worked. It was only when I started looking at it and inviting my demons to come forward, to speak up, to scream out their rage, that what I saw behind it was pain. Eventually, I saw that they were not demons after all, but my inner child.

Along with 1 /1 counselling, I do relationship therapy with couples wanting to improve their connection or who need help navigating difficult circumstances.
Are you stuck in patterns of feeling or behaviour that weigh you down and isolate you from people you love? Do you wonder if things can improve in your career, family, or community? I believe (based on extensive evidence) it is possible to change how we experience life. We all have the freedom and capacity to think new thoughts, feel new emotions, clarify beliefs, and heal from trauma. As a clinical counsellor I can help you identify and achieve your goals through an approach that is relational, authentic, creative, and collaborative.

I view counselling as a special type of relationship, one that promotes self-reflection and the opportunity to explore new perspectives through wholehearted support and guidance.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, trauma, low self-esteem and life transitions. This can include any problematic emotions or problems that have become barriers to achieving happiness and well-being. My intention is to provide a safe and open space where you can be witnessed for who you are and your experiences.

My approach is informed by mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, and contemplative practices. In my work with clients I tend to be open, creative, collaborative and down-to-earth. I specialize in anxiety and relationship issues, often working with individuals and couples who feel lost or trapped in difficult patterns. I believe that within every challenge lies valuable insight waiting to be unearthed. With greater clarity comes the freedom to live authentically and pursue meaningful connections - within oneself, with others, and with life.

I also offer relationship counselling.
Through values of humanity, connection, safety, intentionality, curiosity, and courage, I combine talk therapy with body-based/somatic approaches. In individual counselling, you have the full space to explore your internal world - processing past/current experiences, developing a compassionate relationship with all parts of yourself, getting curious about your subconscious patterns, and exploring your relational connections. Through our relationship and work, my hope is that your past relational history can be processed, repaired, and integrated into your present, allowing you to move towards embodied inner and relational safety.

I offer you a respectful and self-honouring experience, and the opportunity to say a deeper "yes" to your life and to the relationship you want to have.
If you are searching for a respectful and non-judgmental couples therapist, chances are you've been struggling for a while, just hoping things will get better on their own. My work is focused on couples conflict, relational trauma, and sexuality concerns. Whether the problem is infidelity or another traumatic event, lack of interest in sex, drifting apart in your relationship, or constant bickering and rehashing old arguments, the problems facing you as a couple can be overwhelming. It's natural to feel vulnerable and at the same time yearn for a safe place to talk it out with someone who can help.

My approach to counselling is centered on building a genuine and trusting relationship.
My passion lies in helping my clients navigate their unique personal struggles and the impact of larger harmful or limiting social norms. I am deeply curious about my clients’ journey, and committed to guiding them towards self-discovery, stronger interpersonal connections, and realizing their goals and potential. I achieve this by offering valuable insights, reflections, and practical tools. Furthermore, sessions become an important place to practice the skills that you'd like to take forward into your life. Our time together is an opportunity to slow down, consider, and deeply feel things.

I chose to specialize in relationship therapy because I have struggled with relationships myself.
Relationship struggles can make us feel miserable, stuck and hopeless. It can feel like your whole world is crashing down when you are fighting with your loved one. At the same time, when things are going well in our relationships, we feel supported, loved and cared for, we feel like we can take on the world. Considering the powerful impact relationships have on our lives, we know little about how to build healthy ones. It is not a subject covered in school, and often our parents do not make the greatest role models. But like any skill, we can learn how to build strong and intimate relationships.

Navigating life's many challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and disconnected from ourselves and others. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, disconnect from your identity, trauma, or addiction - you deserve to feel empowered to live life on your own terms. Having a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where you feel both challenged and accepted to show up as your authentic self is where your healing journey begins. Together, we can co-create sustainable changes that enhance your resilience to handle future stressors and lead you to a more fulfilling life.

Just like with any challenge in life, we want to have a strategy for how to navigate a relationship break down.
Are you going through break up? Separation? Divorce? Or perhaps you are not sure if you should stay or leave the relationship you are in? Relationship break down can bring turmoil and chaos to our whole lives, leaving us feeling disoriented, heartbroken, and shocked. We are quite often unprepared for these painful events and have no idea how to navigate these difficult emotions. It can feel like the whole world is spinning underneath your feet. Relationship Counselling is a place where you can catch your breath and begin to make sense of it all is so you can feel the ground under your feet once again.

Maybe you are non-monogamous and not sure where to find a therapist who understands your values and your relationship structure.
Do you and your partner have the same fight over and over again? You love each other, but you can’t find a way out of this cycle. Even though you both want to make it work, you can’t seem to get through to each other, and every time you have the fight, your relationship feels a little bit more damaged. Resentment is starting to build, and the distance between you and your partner is growing, and the tension has started to impact your mood. You want to figure out how to have constructive conflict and rebuild intimacy, but you’re not sure where to turn. And more than anything, you want to feel heard.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
