One should
not strive to eliminate one’s complexes, but come into accord with them, for they legitimately guide one’s conduct in the world.
- Sigmund Freud, 1917
ac·cord: be harmonious or consistent
with·in: inside (something)
A labyrinth is an ancient single-path walkway used for steady reflection.
It’s the symbol for Accord Within because it captures the heart of psychodynamic change; a journey that winds inward to explore patterns and feelings, then moves outward to support new ways of relating and coping. Real change isn’t instant. It’s a journey inward to understand yourself and outward to connect in new ways.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
in Charming Centretown, Ottawa
Individual Therapy
Patterns from the past often surface in the present. Together, we slow down, notice what’s happening, and explore the deeper layers behind your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and awareness.
Couples Therapy
Every conflict has deeper roots. Through both joint and individual sessions, we explore what’s happening between you, and within you, so you can see how your past and patterns shape the relationship.
Clinical Supervision
Supervision that centres your work and you. We explore the complexities of clinical practice, what shows up in you as you hold space for others, and how to stay grounded, ethical, and attuned.
