Therapy for a more grounded, fulfilling you.
We support individuals, especially from culturally diverse backgrounds, in navigating life’s challenges, healing from within, and creating a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
About Esiena
A calm, unhurried place to make sense of what you’re carrying, with someone who understands where you come from.
Your culture, family, faith and identity are part of your story, so they’re part of the work. You won’t have to explain or translate yourself here.
Therapy
Individual therapy
A private space to work through anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, relationships and life transitions, at your pace.
Culturally attuned therapy
Room for your background, identity, faith, family expectations and lived experience, without having to explain where it comes from.
Holistic support
Care for mind, body and spirit: settling your nervous system, rest, boundaries and meaning, grounded in a whole-person approach.
What’s on your mind?
Choose whatever feels closest. Here’s how we might begin.
Anxiety and overthinking
When your mind won’t stop running, we slow things down together. We look at what the worry is trying to protect, and build ways to settle your body as well as your thoughts.
Individual therapyBurnout and perfectionism
If rest feels like something you have to earn, we’ll look at where that rule came from, and make room for a pace you can actually keep.
Holistic supportFamily and cultural expectations
You can love your family and still need something different. We help you hold both, without choosing between who you are and where you come from.
Culturally attuned therapyIdentity and belonging
Living between cultures, languages or generations can be lonely. Here, every part of you is welcome in the same room.
Identity and belongingGrief and loss
Whether you’ve lost a person, a place or a version of yourself, grief has no deadline. We make space for it in a way that honours your beliefs and traditions.
Grief and life transitionsRelationship patterns
If the same conflicts keep coming back, we look at where those patterns started, and practise new ways of being with the people who matter to you.
Individual therapyRacial stress and discrimination
You won’t have to prove or explain what you’ve lived through. We name its impact, and work on what helps you feel safe and steady again.
Racial and intergenerational traumaBig life transitions
A move, a new role, an ending or a beginning. Change can unsettle even the good things. We help you find your footing as you go.
Grief and life transitionsNot on the list? Bring it anyway. Plenty of people arrive without a name for what they’re feeling.
How we work
We don’t think you need fixing. Most of what helps is already in you, in your history, your relationships and your own way of making sense of things. Our work is to make room for it.
- Culture is context
- Your history, community and identity are part of the conversation from the first session, not a footnote.
- Whole-person care
- Mind, body, relationships and meaning, held together rather than treated in pieces.
- Collaborative and paced
- You set the direction. We go at a pace that feels safe, and check in about it often.
- Built on your strengths
- We start from the wisdom you already carry, not from what’s wrong.
