Anastasia Vuckovic

It can be intimidating not knowing where to start, I'm so glad you found your way here. Your best self is just waiting to shine through.

Greetings! I’m Anastasia, one of the associate therapists here at Counselling & Co. My goal is to create a safe and client-centered space, while being attentive to your therapeutic needs and goals. As an attachment-based psychotherapist, my work is rooted in the belief that every single person deserves to be seen, heard and validated – no one gets left behind.

I work with deep feelers and individuals who identify as Highly Sensitive People (HSP). Perhaps you find yourself overthinking or overanalyzing circumstances. Maybe you feel easily overwhelmed by various environments or are having difficulty in your interpersonal relationships. With the utmost care and compassion, I am here to support you in navigating these difficult situations. Together, we will find new ways forward that feel authentic to who you are and what you want for your relationship with self and other.

Life and relationships can be a struggle, I get that. Whether it be finding ways to manage a breakup or prevent a breakup, struggling with school related anxiety, or facing some really big life decision, let’s work together to find your answers. I have faced situations where I felt stuck and didn't know what to do. Nevertheless, I have found new ways to balance my emotions when given a safe place in which to share my stories, and I have brought to life a new perspective on myself and others. Feeling stuck CAN be okay from time to time, and you can also feel better!

Professional Background

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Guelph and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.

Things I bet you didn't know about me:

• I am certified to Teach English as a Foreign Language.

• I work part-time for a company that provides independent medical evaluations for individuals who have been in Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA's). Through this, I understand how challenging the recovery process can be.

• I am trained in the Attachment Injury Resolution Model (AIRM) which can help couples integrate and process emotions associated with the injury while working towards restoring connection with your loved one.

• I love supporting clients in working through trauma using Brainspotting. I help clients process unresolved trauma, forgive and release pain, transform unwanted behaviours, and regulate the nervous system to help find more ease and balance.
