About Simona

A Grounded Presence in the Healing Process

I’m Simona Sebastian, a registered clinical counsellor offering relational therapy for those navigating trauma, chronic illness, neurodivergence, or deep emotional pain.

Clients often tell me they feel more at ease in my presence—that they can breathe, reflect, and begin to explore parts of themselves that have long been hidden, protected, or misunderstood.
I believe healing doesn’t come from fixing what's broken, but from reconnecting with what’s still whole—and remembering the truth of who you are.

How I Work

I offer a calm, respectful space where your pace sets the rhythm. My work is not directive or clinical; it’s relational, experiential, and deeply human.

I draw on a blend of evidence-based and presence-based approaches, including:

Relational and experiential therapy
Trauma-informed, attachment-focused care
EMDR - Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT, AEDP)
Mindfulness and somatic awareness
Insights from neuroscience and neuroplasticity
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Existential work

Relationship is at the core of my work because healing happens in connection, not isolation.

My Background

I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work.
I hold a Master’s in Counselling and have additional training in mindfulness, trauma, somatic therapy, and emotion-focused modalities. But more than credentials, what shapes me most is my own life.

I live with chronic illness and have walked the long path of misdiagnosis, emotional overwhelm, and rebuilding. My personal journey has taught me that healing isn’t linear—and that presence, not perfection, is what helps us move forward.

My work is also shaped by the writings of Virginia Satir and John Welwood. Their insights on authenticity, unmet childhood needs, and the healing potential of relationship continue to influence both how I live and how I work.

What I Believe

You are not broken—you are becoming.
Your symptoms are signals, not flaws.
The therapeutic relationship can be a place of deep repair and reconnection.
Emotional truth and felt experience deserve space and respect.
The way forward is already inside you—my role is to walk alongside, not lead.

If We Work Together

You can expect a steady, compassionate presence.
I will meet you with curiosity, not judgment.
I’ll offer space to explore what’s been held in, shut down, or left unseen—and support you in becoming more fully yourself.

Whether you’re carrying trauma, navigating illness, feeling emotionally lost, or simply seeking a deeper sense of connection—this is a place to land, breathe, and begin again.

You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to walk beside you when you’re ready.

With presence and care,

Simona
