Hello! My name is Laiba (she/her), and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I believe every person has a unique story worth understanding.
Our upbringing, relationships, and experiences shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world. With the right support, we can deepen our self-understanding, work through patterns that no longer serve us, and approach life’s challenges in new ways.
My approach to counselling is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I strive to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and explore your experiences at your own pace.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Adler University and have completed over 700 client hours. My approach draws on client-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive practices, alongside somatic-informed approaches, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, self-esteem challenges, perfectionism, identity exploration, and life transitions. Together, we can cultivate greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-trust, helping you feel more grounded and move toward a life that feels authentic and aligned with your values.
I offer virtual counselling sessions and welcome new clients to book a complimentary 15-minute consultation to ask questions and explore whether working together feels like the right fit. Thank you and looking forward to connecting with you!
My name is Anda Vintila (she/her), and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Somatic Psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Counselling.
I support individuals and couples navigating trauma, difficult early life experiences, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also work with those who feel disconnected from themselves, caught in repeating patterns, or longing for a deeper sense of connection and belonging.
My approach is attachment-focused, relational, and somatic, recognizing that our experiences shape not only how we think and feel, but also how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Sometimes, the ways we learned to protect ourselves earlier in life continue to influence our relationships, our sense of worth, and our ability to feel safe and connected.
In our work together, we gently explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, tending to the emotional and bodily experiences that often lie beneath them. Through nervous system regulation, inner child reparenting, and deeper relational exploration, we work toward creating new possibilities beyond the patterns that may once have helped you survive.
My training includes Somatic Experiencing (an extensive 3 year trauma-focused program), Somatic EMDR, Embodied Experiential Dreamwork, and other body-centred and experiential modalities. I draw on these approaches to support a process that honours your unique experiences, needs, and pace.
I believe healing is not about fixing who you are, but about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, reconnecting with the parts of you that may have been lost or overlooked, and cultivating a greater sense of safety, self-trust, and freedom in how you move through life.
My intention is to offer a warm, collaborative space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported as you find your way back to yourself. I look forward to connecting with you!
