I understand how heavy life can feel at times. You may be carrying anxiety, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of overthinking, or struggling in your relationships. You might be moving through a difficult transition, grieving a loss, or simply feeling unsure of yourself. You don’t have to sort through any of this on your own. Nicola Doyle Psychotherapy & Counselling offers compassionate online therapy for individuals and couples in Toronto (or anywhere in Ontario) from the comfort of your own space.
I specialize in working with challenges such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationship difficulties, as well as trauma, overthinking, stress, self-doubt, life transitions, and grief. Working together, we’ll create an approach that feels right for you — one that helps you move through your challenges with increased clarity, balance, and fulfillment.
Let’s talk. Book a complimentary 20-minute consultation to ask questions, learn about the process, and see if we’re a good fit—no pressure, just a conversation.

I offer virtual psychotherapy across all areas of Toronto — including Liberty Village, Downtown, Midtown, Danforth, the Beaches — as well as nearby areas such as Etobicoke, Scarborough, Mississauga, Oakville, and Brampton. Accessible therapy wherever you are in the GTA and across all of Ontario.

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.
Couples 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.

I know that everyone’s story is different, and so is the path to healing. My approach is grounded in understanding who you are and what you need, so our work together feels meaningful, supportive, and uniquely your own. I aim to create a space where you can share freely and feel truly seen and heard. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and move at a pace that feels right for you. Through this personalized process, we’ll aim to deepen your self-awareness, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support your growth and ability to create positive change in your life.
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), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocesssing (EMDR), Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, 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 your experiences 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.

Virtual therapy eliminates the stress of travel and waiting rooms. All you need is a quiet space and an internet connection. I use the secure, confidential video platform, Jane, which meets Ontario’s privacy and CRPO standards.
Therapy services are offered to clients who are physically located in Ontario at the time of their sessions, in accordance with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) regulations.

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.
Coaching Sessions - 50 mins / $175.00
