Natalya is also an experienced student counsellor. “I see people as self-directed, self-determined, meaning-making individuals. However, a lot of the time we are not fully aware of why we think, feel and behave in a particular way. We enter a world that has already created a certain narrative for us, a certain space (place in the family, parental expectations, hopes, fears and anxiety, generational patterns, etc.). Life presents us with challenges that evoke difficult feelings that we are not always able to process and express. Faced with those challenges, we adapt, developing much needed defense mechanisms that later may work against us, negatively affecting our relationships and preventing us from realizing our full potential. Psychotherapy offers a valuable opportunity to become aware of these unconscious feelings and ways of relating. Through my collaborative work with clients, I help them accept reality, themselves, their past, their limitations, and their different emotions, while at the same time discovering and embracing their inherent potential, creativity, and strengths. The relationship I build with clients is profoundly important as it provides a secure base for exploration, development and change. It would be my privilege to be there as you share your challenges, inner conflicts, and your vision for your life. My commitment is that you experience being understood, respected and supported in your struggles and in moving forward.”

As a relationship therapist, Paul works collaboratively, meeting couples (and individuals) in the here-and-now of their challenged relationships, helping them to gain a more holistic understanding of any conflict or impasse and of the intra-psychic and interpersonal factors that are contributing to and maintaining them. Based on that shared awareness, he coaches clients to better communicate and to negotiate their relational needs to restore and enrich their connection and intimacy, while acknowledging and embracing their individual differences. As a psychosexual therapist, Paul works with individuals and partners on a wide range of psychosexual issues (see experience below), focusing not only on relieving the distress caused by such issues but also on alleviating the effects of the problem itself. Along with collaborating in sessions, clients’ successful outcomes greatly depend on their commitment to and completion of any home tasks they are given.
