EMDR and Counselling Therapist

Client focus: Adults

-----------------------------
As a Ukrainian, I learned early that life doesn’t always offer stability. The world I grew up in demanded strength and adaptability, and it taught me that we heal not by avoiding pain, but by staying connected to what makes us human.
I hold two graduate degrees in Education and Counselling Psychology. Before beginning my work as a therapist, I lived and taught English in Ukraine and China. Across cultural and language differences, I saw that respect and kindness are the most powerful forms of communication. Building meaningful relationships with my students showed me how understanding and warmth can nurture growth and confidence. These experiences deepened my curiosity about human behaviour and continue to shape my approach to counselling today.
I’ve also worked in administrative roles in Canada, which gave me insight into corporate life, its pressures, transitions, and the quiet search for balance many people face. These experiences help me relate to clients from different backgrounds and bring a grounded, realistic perspective to my practice.
I use an integrative approach grounded in person-centred therapy and EMDR, drawing on CBT and mindfulness-based strategies to support individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, and relational challenges. I aim to meet clients where they are, bringing both clarity and compassion to the process of healing. Clients often describe me as warm and authentic. What fulfills me most is seeing my clients reclaim the parts of themselves they thought were lost—their trust, their strength, their sense of who they are—and carry those forward with safety, calm, and confidence.
Outside of work, I find peace in nature, walking my Dalmatian, Jessie, through forest trails, camping by lakes, or tending to my garden. I also enjoy playing the piano, a quiet way to slow down and express what words sometimes can’t.En savoir plus sur OlenaAfficher moins
