Kumsal Kosar

Registered Social Worker

Registered Social Worker based in Ontario, Canada dedicated to supporting people from all walks of life. I have experience providing support in hospital and community settings and I am passionate about providing warm, client-centred, and evidence-based interventions for my clients.

About Me

I partner with people from all walks of life, offering warm, client-centred support. Drawing on my experience in hospital and community settings, I help clients navigate diverse challenges. We can explore evidence-based strategies together, finding practical tools tailored to your unique situation. My aim is to create a safe space where you feel truly heard, providing adaptable support for your journey.

Approach

Therapy here unfolds as a steady, collaborative process where I help you translate insight into doable steps, blending mindfulness with structured problem-solving so progress feels practical and sustainable. In Toronto or online, in English or Turkish, sessions move at a pace you set — we check-in, practice skills together, and often agree on short exercises to try between meetings. This approach supports people navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, addiction, or mood shifts who want clear tools and compassionate, realistic guidance.
