A Space to Explore at Your Own Pace


Life can feel heavy at times, especially when you’re carrying anxiety, low mood, past trauma, or relationship stress. Therapy offers a space to slow down, explore what’s been difficult, and reflect on what’s shaping your experience—without judgment or pressure. It’s a place to be met with care, wherever you’re starting from.

Masood Suliman, Registered Psychotherapist in Ottawa

I offer trauma counselling, anxiety therapy, and relationship counselling for adults in Ottawa—both in-person and online. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the past, or disconnected in your relationships, therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and feel supported.


My approach to psychotherapy is evidence-informed, client-centred, and trauma-aware. I aim to have sessions in a safe, non-judgmental environment where your experiences are respected and your voice matters. Using CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based strategies, I tailor therapy to fit your needs—aiming to help you navigate emotional distress and reconnect with your inner strengths.
