Therapy is deeply personal. The person sitting across from you matters just as much as the approach they use.
At Théla, our clinicians bring different experiences, perspectives, and clinical interests, united by a commitment to thoughtful, compassionate care.
No two therapists work in exactly the same way, and no two clients arrive with the same needs.
We encourage you to explore our clinicians' backgrounds, areas of focus, and therapeutic approaches. A consultation can help you get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
Each clinician brings their own areas of focus and ways of understanding the therapeutic process.
Charlie offers a compassionate, affirming approach to understanding how our experiences, nervous systems, and environments shape the ways we feel and respond.
Charlie's clinical interests include ADHD and neurodivergence, trauma, EMDR, nervous-system dysregulation, chronic pain, burnout, identity exploration, and LGBTQ+ affirming care.
Therapy with Charlie creates space to understand your experiences without assuming you need to change who you are to feel better.
Jennifer brings a collaborative and non-judgmental approach to helping clients navigate difficult emotions, relationship concerns, and patterns that may feel difficult to change.
Her areas of focus include anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction recovery, relationship difficulties, couples therapy, and perinatal mental health.
Jennifer works with clients at different stages of change, recognizing that meaningful progress doesn't always follow a straight line.
Lina offers individual psychotherapy, couples and relationship counselling, and EMDR therapy. She supports people navigating anxiety, emotional distress, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions.
Her approach integrates Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), and EMDR, with attention to emotional experiences, attachment patterns, and meaningful change.

Bonny specializes in complex and co-occurring mental health presentations , particularly where personality disorders, neurodivergence, complex trauma (C-PTSD), attachment difficulties, and identity-related concerns intersect.
Her work recognizes that emotional, behavioural, and relational difficulties rarely exist in isolation. Experiences of trauma, neurodivergence, attachment, and longstanding protective patterns can influence one another in complex ways.
Drawing on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and nervous-system-informed and somatic approaches, Bonny offers integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapy tailored to each person's needs.
Her approach emphasizes understanding the deeper patterns beneath symptoms, exploring identity and attachment, strengthening emotional regulation, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change.
