Toby John, Edmonton Psychologist, Life Collective Counselling

Toby John,

BA, MACP

Registered Provisional Psychologist

Hi, I am Toby, a Registered Provisional Psychologist who offers counselling to individuals and couples.

I'm here to help you navigate anxieties around sex, explore your sexual identity, navigate breakups, and understand what makes a relationship healthy or unhealthy. My goal as your therapist is to create a welcoming and judgment-free space where you can feel entirely comfortable sharing your thoughts, emotions and feelings. 

I firmly believe that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to sex and relationships. I'm here with a friendly smile and an open heart, ready to work alongside you to delve deeper into these aspects of life, debunking misconceptions and celebrating the incredible diversity of human sexuality.

I work from anti-oppressive all-inclusive practice with a strengths-based perspective that offers a welcoming and non-judgmental environment.

Through evidence-based research, my personal experience and professional practice, I have seen how therapy can provide people with the tools they need to feel confident, happy and successful. Feeling good about yourself and your relationship is possible! There is nothing we cannot work through together.
