Dylan Maarse
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Accepting New Clients
-
My name is Dylan and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). If you’re looking for support with the relationship with yourself or others, we could be a fit. Clients often work with me on issues related to anxiety, depression, unhealthy coping with substances, and relationships. I want to help in being the most authentic version of you that is possible. I focus on being down-to-earth and approachable while working on goals collaboratively with clients. You are the expert of your own experiences and will be a crucial part in addressing and overcoming the obstacles that keep you feeling stuck.
In addition working with individuals, I have a special interest in supporting couples and fostering effective communication. I use the Gottman Method to help couples to be able to manage relationships and develop problem-solving skills. These skills help couples build flexibility in their relationships, leading to more stability and healthier connections.

I grew up living in South America and traveling around many parts of the world. Being exposed to so many different cultures helped me grow an appreciation for different ways of life. I got used to not always fitting in and learned to understand and share the feelings of others. I learned at a young age how powerful human connection can be and I always wanted to honour that understanding in my profession.
I began my career working at a drug rehabilitation centre for adolescents. I really cherished this work but I found myself struggling to empower residents to make the kind of change that they wanted. That is when I decided that I would pursue my Masters in Counselling Psychology so that I could learn the tools to help people take strides in working towards their goals.

I want to start off by helping you get to know me better as a psychotherapist so that you can feel comfortable discussing your goals in therapy. We will work as a team at your pace to develop a healing plan that is moulded to your needs.
As a therapist, I always want to provide a non-judgmental, safe, and compassionate space for growth to occur. I will use my therapeutic approaches, like CBT, EFT, and the Gottman Method, to honour your emotional experiences and to help identify patterns that may be getting in the way of you moving forward.
