Existential Therapists in Dundas, ON

Hello, my name is Nick Eakins (he/him), I am a registered psychotherapist in Dundas, ON. I offer client-directed services and take a collaborative approach to counselling. My aim is to support and encourage each client along their own journey to self-awareness in a way that is adaptive, authentic, and free of judgement. I trust in the power of the therapeutic relationship; my duty is to listen intentionally, to express empathy and unconditional positive regard, and to offer appropriate, compassionate, and responsible clinical guidance.

If you're overwhelmed by anxiety, people pleasing, or perfectionism, or going through a life transition and feel lost in your sense of self, then hi! Welcome. Maybe you’re feeling burnt out, frustrated, or like you can’t see light at the end of the tunnel. Do you hope life could be different, or dare I say, better? Do you hope to make changes to stop overthinking, manage negative thoughts, develop coping skills, and learn to love yourself for who you truly are? Are you ready to live a life that feels authentic and peaceful? If you’re saying “yes, that’s me!”, then you’re exactly where you need to be & I want to help you get there.

We are all on a path of healing and discovery that leads, eventually and inevitably, to the realization of our true potential. I see psychotherapy as a powerful companion on this journey - it is a helpful friend that can help ease the burden during dark times, and it is a ray of light that can guide us more quickly beyond our own limitations when we are moving towards a goal. My practice is based in modern cognitive therapy and the neuroscience of trauma, while always anchored in the wisdom of mindfulness, acceptance and nondual awareness.

Not accepting new clients at this time - I work with individuals and offer supervision. Based on an assessment with you, we determine the best approach to meet your goals, and emotional needs towards personal health and growth. A few of the therapeutic approaches I use include, but not limited to, CBT which highlights thoughts, dysfunctional (unhelpful) thinking, and assumptions. We explore the unique meaning you make of situations and events. I also use Emotionally Focussed Therapy, mindfulness techniques that rely on neurosciences to restore emotional integrity, narrative therapy, and reconstruction therapy.

Are you struggling day to day with a to-do list that feels impossible to tackle? Do tasks feel so much more difficult than they used to? Feeling weighed down, stressed out, anxious, or exhausted?

What if we could get things done without being stopped by exhaustion, stress, anxiety, or avoidance? I want to help you get there in a way that feels practical and comfortable.

Are you struggling with uncertainty in your life and are feelings of stress, overwhelm, anxiety, worry and fear keeping you awake at night and following you throughout the day? Are you working through disappointment, regret, and resignation because things haven’t gone the way you imagined they would at this stage? Are you suffering, with feelings of hopelessness, despair, and grief and unsure what to do with these slow moving emotions? Are you trying to see yourself as others do, but end up locked in a cycle of perfectionism, shame, embarrassment, that is holding you back from achieving what you want?

Do you find yourself struggling to keep up with your peers? Like you have to work twice as hard to do what seems to come naturally to others? You’re someone who strives to do their best but seems to fall short, leaving you feeling inadequate, lacking self-confidence, and isolated from others.

Together, with this understanding, we can explore different ways to cope and build healthier patterns to help you achieve your goals.
