from the Witch's Therapist
Holistic Psychotherapy Solutions
At The Witch’s Therapist, we’re a London Ontario holistic psychotherapist clinic. We recognize that everyone begins their journey in a different place, and with different needs and goals.
Below, you’ll find more about each of the mental health concerns your psychotherapist can help with.
If you already have an understanding of your needs, this page can help. But if not, you may find the below to be overwhelming. Not to worry.
Your therapist will take the time to understand your unique needs and concerns. From there, they’ll recommend a therapeutic approach that can best meet your needs.
Anxiety Counselling & Psychotherapy
Walking the tender path of healing anxiety can be complex. Anxiety is not just a racing heart or a busy mind. It’s a message from the body, spirit, and soul. It asks for deeper listening.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we don't aim to silence anxiety or push it away. Instead, we get curious.
We ask: what is your anxiety trying to protect you from?
What parts of you are asking for care, safety, and connection?
A holistic way of working means we honour your body’s stories, your mind’s patterns, your spirit’s longing, and your nervous system’s needs.
We blend talk therapy with breathwork, grounding rituals, energy work, and somatic practices. Each client’s path is sacred and unique.
Anxiety, when met with compassion and slowness, can become a doorway to deeper understanding. It can reveal where we have been holding too much, for too long.
Healing is not about "fixing" you. It’s about remembering you are already whole — even when the world feels overwhelming.
You are allowed to move gently. You are allowed to take your time.
Holistic Therapy Treatment for Depression
Depression often moves like a heavy mist. It softens the edges of the world, pulling us inward. It can feel like standing still while life rushes by — or like forgetting the sound of your own laughter.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we honour the pause that depression invites. This is not a failure of spirit. It is a call from deep within, asking you to listen to what has been long ignored. There is wisdom here, hidden in the quiet spaces.
We work holistically, blending therapy with somatic inquiry, socratic questioning, and protection rituals that help you meet yourself with tenderness.
Depression often carries old grief, unmet needs, or dreams left waiting. It asks us to slow down, to tend to the roots beneath the surface before we bloom again. The work of healing is not about forcing light into the darkness. It is about learning to trust the darkness, too — to understand that seeds are planted in soil, not sunlight. That growth can be silent. That becoming can be slow. Even when everything feels still, something beautiful is unfolding inside you.
You are not behind. You are becoming.
Self-Esteem, Self-Confidence
& Identity Therapy
When you begin the journey of healing your self-esteem and sense of identity, it can feel like stepping into unknown territory.
Perhaps you’ve been made to feel small, less than, or a burden to those around you. In such cases, simply the idea of healing can feel overwhelming. But with each step, something begins to shift — something tender, something powerful.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we work to guide you back to the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be seen. You deserve not only to understand who you are — but to feel it in your bones.
Over time, you may notice yourself standing taller. Speaking more clearly. Trusting your intuition without second-guessing.
You start to take up space without apology, knowing your needs, your dreams, and your truth are valid.
You reconnect with the self that was never broken — only buried beneath layers of fear, shame, and expectation. You begin to belong to yourself again.
Healing your self-esteem isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you have always been. And when you do, life begins to feel less like something you have to survive — and more like something you are allowed to fully live.
You are not here to be small. You are here to shine.
Holistic Psychotherapy
for Stress & Burnout
Burnout doesn’t happen because you’re weak.
It happens because you’ve been strong for too long, without enough care, without enough rest. You’ve been operating in survival mode. This instinct is important – like the name says, it helps you survive. But surviving isn’t thriving.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we work holistically to create space for your nervous system to finally exhale — maybe for the first time in years. Together, we rebuild from the inside out.
You’ll learn how to recognize the early signs of stress, set boundaries without guilt, and choose rest without apology. Over time, you may find you have more energy, more clarity, and more trust in yourself to meet life’s challenges without losing your centre.
Healing from burnout is not about pushing through. It’s about slowing down, reconnecting to what nourishes you, and remembering you were never meant to do it all alone. You deserve to live a life where you feel grounded, not just busy. Where you feel alive, not just exhausted.
The path forward is not about doing more — it’s about choosing yourself, again and again.
Shadow Work Therapy & Counselling
Shadow work is the quiet art of turning toward what we have been taught to turn away from. Often associated with Carl Jung, it’s an exploration of your soul.
It’s a necessary season where old wounds, hidden fears, and forgotten parts come forward, asking for warmth.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we walk alongside you through the tangled forests of your inner world. We help you meet the parts of yourself you once felt you had to hide. We work to create a space where even the heaviest emotions are allowed to breathe.
This work can feel difficult — and it can also be deeply freeing. As you integrate your shadow, you may find yourself standing more fully in your power. You may feel less afraid of your own depth, more at peace with your story.
Over time, shame softens. Fear loosens its grip. You begin to move through the world with more courage, more clarity, more compassion for yourself and others.
Shadow work isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering that every part of you — even the messy, hidden parts — belongs.
Psycho-Spiritual Therapy
In many ways, we live in a logical world. Hard facts and scientific research guide many aspects of modern society. But while logic is a wonderful tool, it has a time and place. Logic alone can’t answer every question. This is where the path of spirituality counselling begins.
For some, spirituality is a small part of their lives. For others, it can be a core element of who they are. If you’re the latter, you may find traditional therapy approaches to be unsatisfying, or even frustrating.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we honour your spiritual path, however that looks. We work to help you integrate your spiritual practices into your therapy and everyday life, however that looks for you.
For some, it can be therapeutic to remember you’re connected to something larger, older, and more luminous than fear. For others, it can be counselling around a crisis of faith.
Regardless, this journey is not about adopting a new belief system. It’s about deepening into your own knowing. It’s the slow process of shedding what no longer fits and calling back the lost parts of your soul. By walking this path together, your psychotherapist can help you connect to your spirituality, and to inner healing.
Sexuality Coaching
Sex and sexuality are complex topics. They’re wrapped up in mystery, power, vulnerability, fear, trauma, and so much more.
If you’re feeling disconnected from your body, your desires, or your partner(s), know that you’re not alone.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we understand the deep transformation that can come from reconnecting to your sexuality in a healthy, empowered way.
Justine Barre, our in-house sex educator and intimacy coach, is here to guide you through this delicate and often overlooked work. Whether you’re exploring your sexual identity, navigating difficult relationships, integrating non-traditional relationship structures, or working through communication difficulties, Justine offers compassionate, grounded support. Her work creates space for you to find your voice, your pleasure, and your boundaries in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
There are times when many of us feel the pull to re-examine our relationships and sexual selves. Such a period can be intense, but it’s also an invitation to bring awareness to what’s working and what isn’t.
Through sex education and intimacy coaching, you can lean into those transformative energies in a safe space. This can help you to reclaim the parts of your sexuality that may have been lost or silenced.
Liberation is always possible. You deserve to feel free, connected, and whole in your body and your intimacy. The Witch’s Therapist can help.
Book Your FREE 15-Minute Introductory Session with
The Witch’s Therapist Today
In some cases, those who approach their healing journey do so with a specific approach in mind. If that’s you, great. But everyone’s journey begins in a different place.
If you aren’t sure what steps are best for you, The Witch’s Therapist is happy to help. We offer a FREE 15-minute intro session to new clients to help you decide.
During that session, your holistic psychotherapist will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and help you understand how a spiritual approach to psychotherapy can help.
Intergenerational Trauma
Intergenerational trauma is like a heavy cloak passed down through generations. Sometimes we wear it without realizing it, unaware of the weight it carries. The stories, the pain, the unresolved wounds of our ancestors can influence how we move through the world today.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we understand that healing this deep, ancestral pain requires patience and a deep, compassionate dive into the past.
Through intergenerational trauma counselling, your therapist will help you uncover the threads of trauma that have been woven into your family story, and gently guide you toward a place of healing. This work isn’t about blaming the past, but about understanding it. It’s about seeing how the wounds of your ancestors shape your life, and offering them the space to finally be released.
Your psychotherapist will integrate holistic practices as appropriate. This can include practices such as legacy work, ancestral medicine, as well as ritual therapy, energy work, somatic therapy, and more. The goal is to help you untangle these inherited patterns. Then, you can step into a future free from the weight of what no longer serves you.
Healing is not about erasing the past. It’s about transforming it, understanding how it lives within you, and choosing to rewrite the story. You have the power to heal not just for yourself, but for your ancestors and your descendants.
The cycle can end with you, and The Witch’s Therapist can help.
Racial Trauma Counselling & Psychotherapy
Racial trauma, or race-based traumatic stress, is not just an individual experience. It’s the weight of centuries, carried in the body, in the spirit, in the very air we breathe. It’s the deep hurt of being seen as "other," the pain of navigating a world that has not always allowed you to belong.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we approach racial trauma therapy with profound respect and compassion.
We understand that healing this trauma requires more than just surface-level strategies. It requires a commitment to deep, holistic healing that honours both your individual experience and the collective wounds that have been passed down.
Through depth therapy, somatic practices, ritual, and legacy work, we create a safe space where the complexities of race and identity can be held with care. You’ll learn to reclaim your voice, your power, and your truth, not in spite of your experiences, but because of them.
This work can feel intense, but it’s also transformative. It allows you to process the pain without being consumed by it, to heal the wounds of the past while moving toward a future of greater self-empowerment and peace.
You are not defined by the trauma you carry. You are defined by the strength with which you rise, and the wisdom you choose to embody.
Therapy for Overcoming Perfectionism
If you’re a perfectionist, you may feel at times like it portrays a sense of strength. However, this urge is often rooted in fear.
It’s a fear that if we struggle, we’re not good enough. If we aren’t perfect, we’ve failed. But more than that, that we are a failure.
It creates an invisible barrier between us and our true selves, demanding more, pushing harder, never allowing room for rest, growth, or failure.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we understand that perfectionism is a protective mechanism. It’s a way to feel in control in a world that often feels chaotic. But healing from perfectionism means learning to soften that control. It means trusting the ebb and flow of life, and embracing imperfection as part of being human.
Your therapist can help you understand the source of your perfectionism, and to unlearn the harsh inner critic that drives it. It’s not about giving up your high standards, but about letting go of the belief that your worth depends on being flawless.
You are worthy, not because of what you do, but because of who you are.
In that sense, healing from perfectionism is not about striving for perfection. It’s about learning to be present with yourself, in all your glorious imperfection.
Navigating Life Transition Counselling
& Therapy
Life transitions are like the changing of seasons. They can come quietly, or with a dramatic rush. They can come suddenly, or gradually. They ask us to let go of the old, to step into the unknown, and to trust that something new is waiting for us.
But transitions – even those we welcome – can feel overwhelming. A career change, a relationship shift, life in a new city - these and other transitions can produce feelings of uncertainty. Even if those feelings come alongside an optimistic outlook, it can still be complex.
But alongside that uncertainty comes a powerful opportunity to rewrite your story, to grow into who you are meant to become.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we can help you navigate the unknown with greater ease and grace. We offer tools to ground you when the path ahead feels unclear, and space for reflection when you need to pause and recalibrate.
By embracing the great potential before you, you may begin to notice new strengths, new desires, and new perspectives emerging.
You don’t have to face these transitions alone. The Witch’s Therapist is here to support you, as you move through this chapter and into the next with greater clarity and confidence.
Autism Therapy & Counselling
Autism is not something to be fixed. It’s simply an expression of the vast diversity of humanity. But autistic people may need additional support in navigating the world.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we offer a different approach to autism therapy — one rooted in acceptance, empowerment, and respect. We recognize that many autistic people have spent years masking their true selves to survive in a world built without them in mind. Here, you don’t have to mask. Here, you are allowed to be fully, unapologetically you.
Your psychotherapist will work to create a space where your sensory needs, communication styles, passions, and boundaries are honoured. We support you in navigating a world that often feels overwhelming, while helping you build a life that feels spacious, authentic, and sustainable.
From navigating social situations to regulating your emotions to addressing co-occurring diagnoses and more, your autism mental health counsellor is there to help.
Therapy for autism isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about helping you thrive in your own truth.
ADHD Therapist & Counselling
Living with ADHD can feel like navigating a world that moves at a rhythm just out of sync with your own. It can bring incredible creativity, passion, and depth. But it also offers frustration, overwhelm, and exhaustion when your needs aren’t fully understood.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we see ADHD not as a disorder to be “fixed,” but as a unique way of experiencing the world that deserves honour and care. We work with you to uncover the patterns that have shaped your relationship to focus, energy, emotion, and self-trust. From there, we begin rewriting those stories with compassion.
Your ADHD psychotherapist will work with you to develop the tools that actually fit your needs, not just the world’s expectations. Together, we build strategies that support your strengths and soothe the places of struggle.
As you heal, you may find greater ease with time, less shame around productivity, and more connection to your natural cycles of energy and inspiration. You may begin to see your differences not as failures, but as gifts — ones that deserve to be nurtured, not suppressed.
You are not "too much" or "not enough." You are exactly as you were meant to be — and you deserve a life built around your brilliance.
Ritual Integration
Each of us navigates our lives with rituals, though we may not always realize it. Whether it’s a simple routine or a more deliberate, elaborate ritual, these are the small ways we stay connected to ourselves and our lives.
They deserve a place in your healing journey, just as much as your words and stories do.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we honour the rituals you already carry, and we invite you to weave them into your therapy practice. Whether it’s lighting a candle before a session, pulling a tarot card, grounding through breath, or simply offering gratitude at the end of a conversation — these rituals create portals of connection and deeper meaning.
Therapy doesn’t have to be separate from your spiritual life. In fact, when you bring your full self into the healing space — your practices, your traditions, your intuitive ways of knowing — something powerful happens. Healing moves beyond the mind and into the body, the spirit, and the heart.
As you integrate your rituals, you may notice a deeper sense of safety, a stronger connection to your own wisdom, and a more vibrant feeling of alignment with who you truly are.
Your healing is sacred. Your rituals are sacred. And here, they are welcome.
Psychedelic Therapy
Psychedelics are ancient medicines. They’re portals into deeper layers of consciousness, healing, and remembrance. When approached with care, intention, and support, they can open doors that traditional talk therapy sometimes cannot reach.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we offer a space where psychedelic experiences are honoured, integrated, and held with deep respect. Whether you’re preparing for a journey, seeking integration support after one, or exploring the possibility of psychedelic-assisted therapy, we are here to walk beside you.
Psychedelics can stir the soul. They can bring old wounds to the surface. They can break open limiting beliefs. They can reveal parts of yourself long buried or forgotten.
This work can be beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming without the right container. That’s why therapy and ritual are so important — they ground the experience, giving you a safe place to land, reflect, and heal.
With guidance, you may find that psychedelics become a catalyst for profound self-awareness, compassion, and transformation. You may learn to honour the lessons revealed, release what no longer serves, and plant new seeds for the future you are building.
The Witch’s Therapist can help you navigate these psychedelic experiences in a way that facilitates deep healing.
Therapy for Living with
Disabilities & Chronic Illness
Living with a disability or chronic illness often means living in two worlds. There’s the inner world of your body’s wisdom and limits. But there’s also the outer world that doesn’t always know how to meet you there.
At The Witch’s Therapist, we honour your lived experience. We know that therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about holding space for the emotional complexity of your journey. Grief, beauty, rage, resilience, anger, the fierce love you have had to cultivate to survive, and so much more.
Your psychotherapist can offer support that adapts to you — not the other way around. We help you create new narratives around rest, strength, identity, and self-compassion. We work with your body, not against it, trusting that your innate wisdom knows the way forward.
The goal is to honour both your limitations and your possibilities — without shame, without apology.
You deserve care that meets you exactly where you are — and celebrates all that you are becoming.
