About

Welcome! I’m Anastasiia Puzyrina, a professional relationship, individual, and couple counsellor. I’m here to help you navigate the complexities of relationships and personal growth, offering a compassionate and supportive approach to guide you through your journey.

Anastasiia Puzyrina, MA

With my unique blend of experience, I specialize in navigating conflicts and relationship challenges across various dynamics — whether between peers, partners, family members, or parents and children. I offer short- and long-term counselling tailored to each client’s needs, values, and goals.

My approach integrates deep knowledge of mental processes, the latest advancements in neuroscience, and cognitive-behavioural techniques. I emphasize embodiment practices, which help clients connect with their bodies to accelerate healing and personal growth. This makes my services more effective and tailored to their well-being.

To support your goals, I hold a Master’s Degree in Psychology with honours from Ukraine and have completed advanced certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I also bring specialized knowledge from courses in interpersonal psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and brain health from institutions in Canada, the USA, and Ukraine. My blend of academic and practical experience allows me to support you with a well-rounded, evidence-based approach to personal growth and relationship challenges.

I am an active member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP), and the American Psychology Association (APA), which allows me to stay connected to the latest research and developments in the field. These memberships reflect my dedication to upholding high professional standards in my counselling practice.

  • Understand the role of emotions in your personal and professional life
  • Align your values with your goals to create meaningful progress
  • Build authentic, fulfilling connections with yourself and others
