I offer in-person sessions on Tuesdays and online sessions throughout the week for youth and adults.

Compassion, presence and curiosity are the foundation of my therapeutic approach. At certain points in life things can feel overwhelming and confusing, especially when approached alone. Our relationships and work may suffer, and we may feel we are lost, overwhelmed, and working against ourselves. I help clients explore their experiences, relationships, values and beliefs, develop a better relationship with themselves and others, and offer guidance for nervous system regulation, self trust and compassion. By working together to create a safe and approachable internal world, we can begin to get curious about ourselves, notice patterns, process old wounds, and build self trust, acceptance, and empowerment. Our work together will be relational, reflective, and experiential, drawing on your inner strengths and providing tools for self inquiry and resilience.

I value genuine connection, humour and mindfulness as powerful avenues towards healing, and have a passion for supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, as well as neurodiversity and supportive parenting.

Anxiety is our body telling us to be cautious and alert but sometimes it can become overwhelming and interfere with our daily lives.

Depression is a deep emotional pain that makes it hard to find joy or motivation. It’s not that we don’t want to feel better; it’s that the weight of depression can make it difficult to see a way out.

PTSD is a natural response to traumatic experiences, where our minds and bodies try to protect us. It’s not that we can’t move forward; it’s that the lingering effects of trauma can make it challenging to find healing and peace.

It’s not that we lack strength or resilience to overcome these challenges; it’s that we sometimes need support and guidance to navigate through them.

Together, we can work towards understanding, healing, and creating a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.

I am a passionate counsellor with an extensive background in nursing. Through the struggles I have witnessed firsthand on the frontline, I have grown committed to providing psychological support for those navigating life’s many challenges: anxiety, trauma, grief, and/or relationship concerns.

My main approach to counselling is the interpersonal process approach, which can help you find the understanding and connection you have been seeking.

In our sessions, we will explore the dynamics of your relationships and how they impact your well-being. We will explore how your interactions with others shape your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Imagine a life where you feel heard, understood, and valued in your relationships.

“Let’s discover your inner peace, unlock your potential, and create a life you love together.”

Cecilia is supervised by Kennedy Lewis, CCC.

Michael Indermaur (he/him/they/them) is a male-identifying therapist who offers individual counselling for a range of issues to adults of all ages. Most of his experience centers around depression, anxiety, addictions, body image, anger, relationships, communication, identity, self-esteem, and work-life balance. He identifies as a sex and body positive, trauma informed, minority and polyamory friendly therapist, and is committed to providing a compassionate, judgement-free, anti-oppressive space to all his clients.

Mindfulness and gestalt, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioural and narrative therapies are the approaches Michael most often incorporates.

Michael grew up and received his first degree (BSc – Biomedical science and genetics) in Australia: This has given him a strong understanding of biological and inherited factors involved in people’s challenges, but also showed him how limiting the medicalized perspective can be. Accordingly, Michael understands his clients through consideration of social, societal, personal, spiritual, and trauma-related factors also. Michael has lived experience of anxiety and identity issues and finds comfort in nature, travel, food and fitness. He encourages people who have questions or concerns about therapy to get in touch.
