Hello, my name is Josh, and I am a registered Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (Honours) from Mount Royal University, as well as a Master of Science in Sport and Exercise Psychology from the University of Thessaly in Greece.  

I have a diverse background of experience, ranging from working individuals with minor to severe brain injuries, to working as a full-time sport psychologist supporting athletes and coaches in Greece. I am passionate about continuous learning and growing alongside my clients and have developed a deeper passion for the connection between physical and mental health through my previous experiences. I strive to foster a collaborative relationship where both client and therapist can work together to create meaningful change by providing clients with practical tools to manage symptoms and cultivate resilience. 

MACP, Canadian Certified Counsellor

Josh Stewart

My approach is grounded in an integrative therapy style, drawing from several therapeutic modalities. Through a culturally sensitive lens, I aim to understand the unique complexities of each client’s life, providing a supportive environment to explore your experiences, identify your strengths and values, and take committed action towards achieving your goals. 

Regardless of what you are seeking help for, I am passionate about collaborating with each client, working alongside them to create steady and consistent small improvements in their lives to create long-term positive outcomes and begin to achieve their goals. I aim to assist my clients in gaining the courage to be able to recognize their struggles for what they are, and offer themselves kindness, while still choosing to move forwards towards their goals.

I believe that therapy should be a positive experience that leaves you feeling heard, understood, and moving forward in your desired direction. I appreciate that for many, reaching out for therapy can be a difficult step to take! Schedule a free consultation today to discuss whether I may be the right fit to work alongside and support you on this path!
