Anna Albano, Intern Counsellor

My approach to counselling is rooted in my belief in the power of self discovery. I believe that your mind and body already carry the information that can promote your growth and healing, and by working together, we can learn to reveal and understand this information. My intention is to create a safe space for this with lots of respect, empathy, honesty (including the hard truths), and genuine connection.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing or have experienced grief, depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity challenges, and life transitions. Whether that means you are struggling to process events from your past, are having trouble in your friendships or romantic relationship, or having a hard time managing daily stress, I would love the opportunity to support you.

On a personal note, I come from a multicultural family – My mother being Brazilian and my father being Canadian – I feel very lucky to have strong ties to my culture. In my spare time, you will likely find me with my dogs and my loved ones, or enjoying a good book or movie. My life has been messy, challenging, beautiful, and everything in between; so, I truly understand how each experience, big or small, can have an impact and shape who someone is (as my experiences have done for me!). 

As human beings, we are extremely complex and unique from one another, so my intention will always be to work collaboratively with you. You know yourself best, and my goal is to support you in knowing yourself even better and feeling more comfortable in your life. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s hop on a 15-minute consultation call and get to know each other!
