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 challenges, 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 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 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.

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), 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.
I offer virtual psychotherapy across Toronto — including Liberty Village, Queen West, The Annex, Leslieville, Riverdale, and East Danforth — as well as nearby areas such as Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, Oakville, and Brampton. Accessible therapy wherever you are in the GTA and across Ontario.
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.
