Hi, I’m Xiva.

I became a counselling therapist because I want to help people recover from childhood trauma and toxic shame. I want to help you live a meaningful life and feel more connected to yourself and others.

Hi, I’m John. Like many of the people I work with, I’ve had seasons in my own life where I felt stuck in patterns I couldn’t quite name — repeating the same dynamics, pushing harder but not getting different results. That personal experience deepened my respect for how hard change really is, and how possible it becomes when we’re not doing it alone. I’m a therapist who helps people understand why they feel stuck, why certain patterns keep repeating, and what it actually takes to create real change.

A Little About Andressa

Hi, I’m Andressa.

I believe we all need a place where we can put down what we’ve been carrying, even if just for a little while. A place where we don’t have to hold it all together, have the right answers, or be anything other than who we are.

And sometimes, when we finally have room to breathe, we can begin to notice the parts of ourselves we’ve kept hidden, the feelings we’ve pushed aside, and the stories we’ve carried for years. Not to judge or fix them, but to understand them with a little more curiosity and compassion.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.

I am a trauma counsellor who supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, stress, self-esteem challenges, and nervous system dysregulation. My approach is warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed, drawing from somatic therapy, mindfulness practices, EMDR, IFS/parts work, inner child healing, and self-compassion. I help clients reconnect with themselves, build emotional safety, and develop practical tools for regulation, healing, and personal growth.
