About Father Kyrillos:
Life has a way of weighing us down. Anxiety keeps you up at night. Anger damages the relationships you care about. Depression makes it hard to see a way forward.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
My work is about walking alongside you. I listen to your story, honour what makes you who you are, and help you find practical ways to cope with what you’re facing. Every person I meet brings something different to our time together, and I respect that.
A bridge between two worlds
I serve families from many cultures and backgrounds. I speak Arabic and English, so you can express yourself in whichever language feels like home.
As a Coptic Orthodox priest, I’ve sat with people through loss, transition, fear, and hope. I know what it means to hold space for someone’s pain. If your faith is important to you, we can weave it into our conversations. If not, that’s completely fine too. This is your journey, and I’m here to support you however you need.
I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and family therapy approaches. For couples, I use Prepare and Enrich, which helps you see your relationship more clearly and strengthen how you communicate with each other.
Who I work with
I meet with teens, adults, and older adults for individual counselling, and I work with couples who want to strengthen their relationship. I have experience with depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, life transitions, and preparing for or navigating marriage.
Whatever brought you here today, I’m ready to sit with you and help you take the next step.

A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through a variety of therapeutic approaches. In 2007, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) defined psychotherapists in Ontario as “regulated health professionals,” which means that all psychotherapists in Ontario need to be licensed members of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and to utilize the formal title of “Registered Psychotherapist (RP).”
A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) holistically believes that your relationships with others (for example, with your family members) represent an essential aspect of your life and personal well-being and that your counselling process is more effective if he or she fully considers all of your relationships within her or her treatment plan for you. A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a Pre-Clinical Fellow within the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).
A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through numerous therapeutic modalities. A psychologist may work in a variety of possible roles, from teaching psychology courses in universities and engaging in academic research to counselling clients and administering advanced psychological assessments. A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment (mainly through psychotropic medication) of mental or psychiatric disorders. A social worker helps people to resolve issues of everyday life (including through counselling services) and to access government and community resources.
