Fay Ayadi

I offer face-to-face or online counselling.

I am available after work hours to accommodate busy schedules. 

The decision to start therapy is an important and often life-changing act of self-care. Continually experiencing physical tension or feeling that you are trapped in repetitive thought patterns can inhibit your ability to set priorities and implement change. Taking the first steps toward making personal changes is often the most challenging part of the journey, but I’m here to provide the support you need to ease yourself into the process.

I believe that every individual holds a natural ability and power to discover healing and personal development within themselves. I endeavour to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space that will enable you to navigate and surmount any obstacles you may be experiencing.

Together, we will explore and gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to help you understand their significance and how they relate to the challenges and obstacles you are currently facing. My goal is to help you tap into your inherent ability for healing, empowerment and wisdom.

Using an integrative and holistic approach, I tailor the therapy to your unique evolving needs. Among therapeutic models I employ are psychodynamic, person-centred and mindfulness-based techniques. We may also engage in grounding and soothing activities that will help you modulate your feelings and achieve greater emotional control.

I adopt a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach and have gained valuable experience working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds. I work with my clients to address a variety of difficulties and concerns, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief or bereavement, identity conflicts, life transitions, daily stress, and harsh inner critic.

I provide both short-term and long-term counselling. I can also provide the sessions in Spanish. We can meet for brief discussion of your concerns and provide clarification for any inquiries you may have during our free first consultation.
