My name is Fabiana Francelino, and I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor – Candidate (RTCc) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT). I provide compassionate online counselling for adults in English and Portuguese.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, or a significant life transition. You may also be adjusting to life in a new country, navigating different cultures, or questioning where you belong. As a Brazilian counsellor, I understand how these experiences can feel both emotionally and personally challenging, and I strive to offer a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported.
My approach is warm, collaborative, client-centred, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy should move at a pace that feels safe, comfortable, and meaningful for you. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work alongside you to better understand your experiences, recognize your strengths, and develop practical strategies that support meaningful and lasting change.
My work is informed by evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed skills, mindfulness, and body-based approaches. I thoughtfully integrate these approaches to meet your unique needs, goals, and values.
I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult period or simply looking to better understand yourself and move forward with greater confidence, therapy can provide a safe place for reflection, growth, and healing.
If you are looking for a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore what you are going through and move toward greater clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being, I would be glad to support you. I invite you to book a free 20-minute discovery call to see whether we are a good fit.
