Akashia brings warmth, lived experience, and a collaborative spirit to her work as a Student Therapist (Qualifying) at Bliss Counselling. She is passionate about supporting clients in exploring identity, healing relational patterns, and finding freedom from beliefs that no longer serve them. Her goal is to create a safe and affirming space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered in their journey of self-discovery.
Akashia works under the supervision of Tammy Benwell, MSW, RSW, a senior therapist and clinical supervisor at Bliss Counselling. With Tammy’s guidance, Akashia provides high-quality, supervised care while cultivating her own clinical voice. Clients benefit from both Akashia’s lived experience and Tammy’s extensive expertise.
Akashia believes that therapy is most powerful when it honours the whole person (their culture, history, and unique lived experience). Her work is culturally inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in authenticity. Clients can expect a therapist who walks beside them with curiosity, compassion, and respect for their autonomy.

Hello! My name is André, a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
I have always been curious about relationships and how they shape us. In my experience, love, joy, grief, loss, trauma, anger, conflict, and other emotions all happen in the context of relationships. My goal as your therapist is to help you explore and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.
I focus on relationships, mainly drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, using a strength-based approach to help individuals, couples, and families. I also have a passion for working with youth (ages 13-18) and experience providing court-mandated and domestic violence programs.
With over a decade of experience as a law enforcement officer, I understand the value of embarking on a mental health journey that focuses on self-care and resilience while balancing professional and personal demands.
How are you feeling?
Let’s explore together to work through your challenges and discover your authentic self.
You are enough.

NOTE: Not currently accepting new clients. I work with Black and racialized clients who are discontent, distressed, or stuck as a result of molding themselves to fit expectations others have of them and struggle with being themselves in their relationships and other contexts they are a part of. I help you become more secure in who you are: your authentic selves and self-expression so that you can cultivate relationships with yourself and others that honour these things.
As a Black woman and trained Couple and Family Therapist, I approach therapy relationally and systemically. This means that I pay attention to how your contexts (e.g. society, culture, relationships, etc.)-past and present- influence your experience in various aspects of your life, including your mental wellbeing and relationships.
I work with you to support you in moving from where you are now to where you want be; we examine what might be getting in the way of you reaching that place and how you can navigate these challenges in ways that honour your intersecting identities and values.
My approach is grounded in the values I hold around intersectionality and social justice, anti-oppressive and trauma informed practice, humour, and the therapeutic relationship.
I invite you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call to see if we would be a good fit.
