Therapists in M1B

Bilingual therapist offering counselling in both English and Polish. With over 20 years experience, I believe that people are experts of their own lives; however, when dealing with challenging life issues, they often benefit from empathetic support and guidance in order to find new perspectives for problem-solving and personal growth. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental and validating environment to support my clients in expressing their thoughts and emotions, to feel that they are heard and they matter, to make new, healthy choices in dealing with difficulties, and to restore a sense of hope and balance in their life journey.

You might be wondering if counselling or clinical supports are for you, you might be questioning whether therapy works, you might have exhausted all other avenues and have found yourself on this page. I welcome you to take a chance on yourself and invite you to engage in a free consultation process with me.

Are you an accomplished individual trying to balance the demands of both your work and home life, yet feeling overwhelmed in the process? The pressures to succeed and meet work expectations can create a sense of anxiety, panic, and dread. It can even increase feelings of depression and decrease your self-confidence to manage it all. Unfortunately, this can also impact your ability to be fully present for your loved ones and you may find that your meaningful relationships are beginning to suffer. FFTR supports clients in addressing these issues so they can experience more fulfillment in both their personal and professional lives.

So many therapists! Who would've thought finding the right one would feel this overwhelming?
