Testimonials

"Yiya journeyed with me during the most difficult time of my life. It was a scary, complex , confusing, delicate and emotionally draining time for me. Through her unique approach to counselling, I was able to obtain clarity to make hard personal decisions and feel for the first time that I was standing on solid ground again. It was an approach I found especially refreshing as it allowed me to untangle my emotional confusion which helped me to make decisions I felt were right for my own personal journey. I found Yiya to be incredibly approachable, a good listener, compassionate and most importantly a skilled counsellor and emotional navigator.

We provide free 20 minutes discovery consult about your needs and any questions you may have about our counselling, coaching or consulting services. This consult is not a counselling session but everything you share will be held in confidentiality.

You can ask about my experience supporting someone with similar issues you are facing. You can ask what positive results/outcomes we gain from our therapeutic alliance.

You can ask about how a therapist’s relationship with you is different than other professions. You can ask about my training and core values.  Feel free to read my About page or LinkedIn account.

Before booking an appointment,  you can check with your provider whether Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) are covered under your plan. With most insurance coverage, you make payment via e-transfer out of pocket for the session. After I receive the payment, I will provide you with a receipt that has all the information you need to receive reimbursement from your extended health plan or insurance provider for the session.

Counselling focuses on healing emotional wounds, processing trauma, and addressing mental health challenges, often exploring your past.
Coaching is more future-focused—it helps you clarify goals, build habits, and move forward with practical strategies.
At Behold Counselling, we offer both—because thriving often requires healing and action together.

Hybrid counselling and coaching is an integrative approach that combines trauma-informed therapy tools (like CBT, EMDR and parts work) with solution-focused coaching strategies. It means you get space to heal and you want to be challenged at times to take aligned action. This is especially effective for those clients who have foundational stabilization and grounding skills and well acquainted with therapy processes and just want to target navigating career decisions, conflicts in relationships, or major life transitions, crisis that holds a sense of urgency. It is for people who may not want just an attentive listener and they can self-validate but they need ways to understand their options and get clear of their power and choice in a situation. If the client wants to execute an action,  for example: I want to stop drinking, or looking at porn we will look at your history, root causes and other past factors AND we also start to brainstorm resources you have access to so you can sense options to get accountability and help outside of session.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain reprocess painful memories and internalized beliefs from past relationships.
For example, when used in dating or divorce care, EMDR can help you:

  • Break free from internalized negative self beliefs and patterns rooted in earlier attachment wounds

  • Reduce triggers and emotional reactivity

  • Restore your sense of safety, self-worth, agency and trust in connection.

It can be profoundly healing for those recovering from betrayal, emotional abuse, or relational grief.
