Counsellor Marina Fanous

Hi there! As a therapist, one of my passions is working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, relationship issues, and suicidal ideation. I also enjoy working with couples who are experiencing challenges due to infidelity, communication difficulties, coping with stressful challenges, financial pressures, difficulty balancing individual and couple expectations, or divorce/separation.

Many people feel that they are alone in their struggles. I believe my role as your therapist is to remind you that you are not alone, normalize how you feel, and provide helpful tools along the way.

I use a humanistic approach and believe that you are the expert of your own life. My goal is to create a safe space for my clients so they can be their true selves and have room for self-exploration. Other modalities I use are solution-focused, trauma-informed, CBT, and strength-based therapy. I also use a multicultural approach in counselling that is aided by my own experience and upbringing in different countries around the world. I speak fluent English and Arabic as well.

I look forward to working together on your goals!

For me, this was great as I didn't have to drive anywhere. I felt comfortable at home and it really helped with the first appointment awkwardness.

My counselor was matched with me based on my needs, and was a perfect match. They were caring and non-judgemental, and it was easy to book appointments. This therapy has been life-changing.
