Ms Rachel Delos Santos

Registered Psychotherapist

“As a therapist, I deeply value the therapeutic relationship and strive towards building that secure connection through genuine, compassionate, and empathic care as the vehicle for one's healing process. I would be honoured to go along with you on your journey as you discover yourself.”

About Me

I deeply value our therapeutic connection as the foundation for your healing. I offer a genuinely compassionate and empathic space where you can explore your inner world and gently uncover new insights. This safe, collaborative environment is ideal for those ready to journey towards self-discovery and make sense of their experiences. I am here to support you in finding clarity and growth, moving at your own pace.

Approach

Together we cultivate a steady, trusting space where curiosity guides each step and your experience shapes the pace. Whether we meet in Toronto or online, I offer sessions in English and Tagalog and keep the rhythm gentle and focused on what matters to you. My work blends mindful grounding, psychodynamic reflection, and practical, between-session experiments to notice patterns, process grief or trauma traces, and try new ways of relating. People navigating loss, anxiety, relationship strain, or addictive patterns often find this paced, reflective way helpful.
