MEET OUR COUNSELLOR
Danielle Hulan, MSW, RSW: 
Social Worker, Psychotherapist 
​
Danielle is a counsellor and psychotherapist in Toronto. She has a strong focus on building relationships with people, and together defusing the grip that different problems are having on their lives. 
 
Danielle has a special interest in working with women as they navigate fertility, miscarriage, pregnancy, motherhood, and co-parenting. These experiences, while still very unique, can often bring immense emotion, and challenge a sense of self or identity, relationships, and boundaries. Parts of this journey may include intensified or first-time experiences of anxiety and depression (Post-Partum Anxiety, Post-Partum Depression).  
 
Danielle brings partners into the therapy room when appropriate, and supports men individually as they navigate fatherhood, their own mental health, or the experience of their partner. 

Danielle completed her Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto. She was trained as a trauma-informed and emotion-focused therapist, is certified in Narrative Therapy, and uses evidence-based modalities to support clients in feeling better in their minds and bodies, in their relationships, and thus in their daily lives.  

Danielle is a mama herself and welcomed her first baby in 2017.

Our cozy and confidential counselling room
Your Initial Therapy Session
​
At your first appointment, we will focus on creating a comfortable and safe space for you to share and talk about what has brought you to therapy. First sessions can move slowly, as we build trust and begin our therapeutic relationship together.

​I will support you if you are not sure where to start or what to talk about – this is common in therapy. We will begin to get a sense of what therapy will look like for you as we move through the session. Ideally, you will leave the first session with either increased clarity about what you have been feeling or with a specific strategy to practice in your daily life. 
Your On-going Therapy Work
Therapy work is highly individual. Sessions tend to unfold naturally, as we move toward your goals/needs. Some things we may work on include: connecting to and naming emotions, processing emotions in healthy ways, building trust with yourself, learning how to create boundaries or navigate certain relationships in your life, learning how to feel greater intimacy in your relationships, understanding the impact of different experiences you’ve had, identifying the role of anxiety and/or depression in your life, understanding and feeling grief or anger, supporting you to feel more understanding (and thus more control) of your mind and body. 
 
My approach is relationship-focused, gentle, and creative. I use evidence-based modalities to help us in the work:
  • Emotion-Focused Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Relational Therapy
  • Somatic Psychology
  • CBT and DBT tools
  • Mindfulness

    To Be Notified: Prenatal & Postnatal Tea Events

    Interested in attending our free counselling events? Let us know below and you will be the first to be notified when they return.
PRENATAL TEA: EXPLORING EMOTIONS SURROUNDING PREGNANCY
Come join us for tea and guided conversation with Danielle Hulan (MSW, RSW) on how mamas-to-be can move through the emotional and mental hills of pregnancy.

This event is open to all mamas-to-be looking to understand more about the following:
  • Not feeling as connected to your pregnancy as you thought you would 
  • Feeling guilty that you aren’t as excited as you feel you should be
  • Feeling sad or anxious 
  • Feeling disconnected from your partner or loved ones
  • Looking for healthy ways to process these emotions
​
Learn, share and connect with mamas-to-be like you as you acknowledge some of the complicated, pleasant, or sometimes unpleasant emotions that can surface in pregnancy. This workshop will allow you to explore the full emotional and physical experience of pregnancy (the one that may not be always be captured in media). ​
POSTPARTUM TEA: EXPLORING EMOTIONS SURROUNDING MOTHERHOOD
Join us for tea and guided conversation about motherhood with Danielle Hulan (MSW, RSW).

This event is for you if you are experiencing some or all of the following:
  • Missing your old self and life, and feeling guilty about it
  • The presence of feelings or experiences that are not what you expected
  • Challenges in your relationships with family members
  • Feeling like you aren’t ‘allowed’ to have some of the feelings that you have
  • Feeling like talking to your partner or family about this would make you feel like a burden, embarrassed, or a ‘bad mother’
  • Motherhood is more than feelings of love and blissful connection. If you have found that there hasn’t been space for some of the other (harder!) experiences of motherhood, we welcome you to come, sit, and find comfort in this shared experience.

You will leave 
  • Knowing you are not alone 
  • Having greater clarity around your own experience
  • Feeling heard and acknowledged
  • Feeling more compassion for your motherhood journey
  • With a better understanding of how to process and deal with these feelings
