Susan O'Shaughnessy Registered Psychotherapist;
CTP, Dip, CAPT
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), having received my training to work with individuals from the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy (CTP) and from ICEEFT for couples work.
EVERYTHING CHANGES WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH TRUTH INNER ALIGNMENT, NO MATTER WHERE IT TAKES YOU,IS BOTH THE MEANS AND THE END
“It’s both a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found.”
-Donald Woods Winnicott
After graduating from the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy (CTP) in 2000, I began my career with individuals. CTP specializes in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which uses an in-depth approach. Psychotherapy helped me to explore the vast capability of the human mind and it’s inspiring ability to change and grow. I have post-graduate training in trance, literature, Emotionally Focussed Training (ESP) and psychotherapy in literature. After many years working with individuals, I began working with couples and continue my studies in this ever-enlightening field.
Working to heal and manage the trials of human emotions, I have watched clients reach their personal goals to find peace and happiness both within their relationships with themselves, and that of their partners. In addition to extensive education and training, which I am always upgrading, I have my own personal experience with all of the above-mentioned forms of therapy over many years reaping the benefits of them all (even the ones that did not work).
I am a mother, grandmother, animal rights and environmental advocate, a meditator, and love a good laugh and a good book.
