Life can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to go through it alone. Nicola Doyle Psychotherapy & Counselling is here for you, providing compassionate and secure virtual psychotherapy and counselling to individuals and couples across Ontario, including Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Guelph, London, Sarnia, and beyond. I specialize in helping clients manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, stress management, self-doubt, and grief — all from the comfort of your current location. Together, we’ll create a collaborative plan that supports your unique needs and helps you navigate life’s ups and downs with greater understanding, strength, and fulfillment.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. Let’s talk about how therapy can support you. I offer a free 20-minute consultation to answer your questions and help you decide if we’re a good fit.
Virtual therapy eliminates the stress of travel and waiting rooms. All you need is a quiet space and an internet connection. I use a secure, confidential video platform that meets Ontario’s privacy standards.
Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based process that centres around the creation of a strong therapeutic relationship between therapist and client and the provision of a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental environment for personal growth. The goal of therapy is to facilitate positive change in an individual's thinking, feeling, behaviour, and social functioning by engaging them as collaborative partners in the application of different evidence-based modalities aimed at improving their overall well-being and quality of life.
Services are currently being offered online or via phone.
Sliding scale and low-cost options are subject to availability. Spaces are limited. To inquire about availability, please book a free consultation.
Couple’s therapy provides a safe space to explore issues in your relationship that have been difficult to discuss and/or resolve on your own. Applying a compassionate, non-judgemental approach and utilizing the modalities of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method, we will address the issues that are causing dissatisfaction in the relationship. The focus of couple's therapy extends to each individual partner as well as the overall dynamics of the relationship. Whether the goal is to enhance communication, establish shared goals for the future, nurture intimacy, or strengthen the bond between partners, couple's therapy serves as a catalyst for positive change. By engaging in this therapeutic process, couples can move forward together to achieve their desired outcomes and nurture a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with each other.

Seeking help for your mental health is a deeply personal journey. My compassionate, non-judgemental, and collaborative approach is to partner with you to create a meaningful therapeutic experience that is personalized to you. Together, we will explore your unique challenges, experiences, and strengths and develop helpful strategies that resonate with you and your individual journey in an effort to help bring about positive change.
Appreciating your uniqueness, I apply a holistic and integrative approach to supporting your mental health that takes into consideration your emotional, physical, behavioural, and social well-being to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities of psychotherapy to support your growth & progress including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), narrative therapy, somatic therapy, the Gottman Method, and various mindfulness techniques.
I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel comfortable to express yourself openly without the fear of judgment. I approach therapy from an inclusive, anti-oppression standpoint.
Working from a trauma-informed lens, I approach psychotherapy with deep compassion and understanding, always prioritizing your safety and well-being. Your comfort is paramount, and every step of the therapeutic process is designed to go at your preferred pace and with your needs in mind.
Nicola also offers coaching as a certified coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Coaching is not psychotherapy. Coaching takes a strength-based and appreciative approach that focuses on deepening your awareness through conversation. Coaching focuses on your present situation and future goals rather than on your past experiences to help you close the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be. Through collaborative partnership, coaching helps you clarify your goals, create a plan to bring about the change you are seeking, and move towards living your best life with increased confidence.
