Registered Psychotherapist
Ebtehal (Ebby) Taqi is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who offers compassionate, structured, and goal-oriented therapy for individuals, couples, marriages, and families. She understands that meaningful healing starts in an environment where clients feel safe, valued, and truly heard. Ebby creates a welcoming and nonjudgmental space that encourages open conversation and honest reflection. Within this supportive setting, clients can explore their challenges with clarity and move forward with confidence and purpose.
Ebby supports adults from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds, helping those navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and significant life changes. She also partners with couples and families working through communication challenges, conflict, trust issues, and relationship difficulties. Her approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in empathy and mutual understanding. Together with her clients, she establishes clear, realistic goals that guide meaningful and lasting progress.
Ebby recognizes that every client brings a distinct story and set of experiences. She personalizes each session to explore individual patterns, deepen self-awareness, and build on existing strengths. Her integrative, evidence-informed approach balances meaningful insight with practical strategies that promote emotional stability and stronger relationships. Depending on each client’s goals, she may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) into the therapeutic process.
Ebby offers individual therapy to support clients managing anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, and personal development. She provides couples and marriage counselling focused on enhancing communication, restoring trust, and deepening emotional intimacy. Her family counselling services help families work through conflict, life transitions, and complicated relational patterns. Ebby also supports clients during significant life changes, including separation, career transitions, grief, and other major adjustments.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Ebby combines solid clinical training with practical experience gained in both community-based and clinical environments. She is dedicated to providing ethical, culturally responsive care and engages in ongoing clinical supervision to support high standards of practice. Recognizing that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, she works to ensure the process feels approachable, structured, and reassuring from the outset. From the first session onward, Ebby aims to help clients feel steady, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
