If you are reading this it’s because you know something has to change. The wonderful thing is you have already started the process...
No matter what the circumstances are that led you here, I can assure you, the possibility to live your life with freedom, passion and authenticity are closer than you can imagine. Whether it’s for yourself or for your relationship, I can help you find your way...
Sessions
In a safe, welcoming place where your individual needs are heard and addressed; where you are held in positive regard and given full and undivided, heartfelt attention, you will share your story, your feelings and concerns.
With gentle compassionate guidance, you’ll soon find that you are able to make your way back to your place of wisdom, rediscover your truth and connect to your inner joy. You’ll also acquire new skills and a fresh perspective that will help you through your life’s challenges.
I will work with you on current issues and concerns and help you understand the root cause of your patterns and challenges. Together, we will shed light on your core beliefs that keep you limited, shift those that no longer work and seek out those that empower you.
All that is required from you is an openness to new possibilities, and a willingness to work towards your own betterment.
Approach
Holistic, Spiritual and Humanistic in nature, I work with an eclectic blend of modalities including but not limited to Gendlin’s Focusing, Gestalt, Rogerian, Jungian methodologies. I also work with energy, chakras, meditations and body work.
Spirituality
People often ask if they need to have a certain belief system to benefit from working with me. The short answer is no. I welcome you and your belief system, spiritual, religious or not... I will honour and work with the whole of you to the best of my abilities. My only interest is in helping you find your own unique answers to your unique life. I believe that what you believe is right for you and I would be profoundly honoured to work with you.
About me
Deeply compassionate, friendly and caring, my passion, from a young age, has been to understand and help people find their own joy. Born of a childlike idealism, I hold a vision of how different the world might be if we could learn to love ourselves... I believe each of us not only has a right to an abundant, free, authentic loving life, but also that we have an innate compass forever directing us towards our joy.
To access that ‘compass’ and bring about a powerful, lasting transformation, we need to include the whole person...body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Following my compass, I was guided to study psychotherapy at an establishment that honoured this philosophy. There, I learned an eclectic variety of practical and effective modalities both ancient and modern.
Dedicated to my own growth and transformation, I welcomed the opportunity to experience the school’s psychotherapeutic approach for myself. This brought home the depths of my childhood convictions that we are so full of joy, love and abundance, yet we cannot see it for ourselves until someone lovingly shows us the way.
My training in Individual, Relationship/Couples Counselling, and Life Coaching is complemented by a holistic understanding of the body’s systems and energy healing modalities such as Reiki, Shen, Holographic Release and E.F.T. amongst others. This unique blend of knowledge and experience helps me facilitate a deeper understanding of inner and outer relationships, along with their dynamic system as a whole.
Testimonials
"I met Linda Hovanessian 5yrs ago at a very low point in my life. I still recall the very first day I walked into her office; it was the first time in my life I felt completely safe, loved and accepted in the world... It was her constant love and positive affirmation that gave me the strength to find my true self and to recognize the life that was intended for me. Today, my life is filled with so much love, joy and wonder. I am truly happy and at peace knowing that my capabilities are endless. I feel blessed. Much love and gratitude to the woman who taught me the true meaning of life and love.
Thank you, Linda!!" Y.D., Toronto
"Out of the many forms of therapy I have experienced this is the one that has helped me period! It is practical and pragmatic and I actually use the knowledge I gain in sessions with you. It's not just me talking... there's interaction where I learn things from you. I am someone who easily gets lost in my own process so it's great when you stop and guide me back to my own essence. You put me totally at ease from the first session. I felt as though I could talk to you about anything. Thank You!" S.R., Toronto
