## About Filippo

Over the years Filippo has supported a wide range of clients, from male teens to older adults. He is especially drawn to helping people through times of change, when identity feels uncertain and emotions feel heavy. Outside of therapy he's into the same things many of his clients are: pop culture, art, music and physical activity. Those shared interests help make therapy feel more relatable and less clinical.

Training and experience:

- Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, December 2025
- Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, York University, May 2022
- Volunteer in SickKids Hospital's pediatric and palliative care settings

Filippo practises under the clinical supervision of Ayesha Ghouri, RP.

## Approach

A flexible, collaborative approach drawing on:

- **Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)**: the links between thoughts, feelings and actions.
- **Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)**: skills for strong emotions, distress tolerance and relationships.
- **Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)**: understanding what your emotions are telling you.
- **Strength-Based Therapy**: starting from what already works for you.
- Also: Solution-Focused, Existential and Adlerian therapy, client-centred, mindfulness-based, play-based, trauma-informed and culturally-informed practice, and psychoeducation.
