Lorenzo Mariani
BA, MACP
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hi, I’m Lorenzo.
My goal is to help you better understand yourself, manage stress, and create meaningful change in your life. My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and rooted in genuine curiosity about who you are and what matters most to you.
Many of the clients I work with are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD or Autism, and are looking for a space where they can feel genuinely accepted and understood.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experiences with mental health within my family and my passion for real, meaningful conversations. This work gives me a deep sense of purpose and meaning, and I value being able to walk alongside you as you move through challenges and discover what helps you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself.
My first goal is to make sure you feel safe and comfortable being who you are. From there, we’ll explore what’s been getting in the way of your peace or progress. I’ll help you build emotional regulation strategies, strengthen executive functioning skills, and develop self-compassion, all through a non-judgmental, client-centred approach rooted in trust and understanding.
During our first session, we’ll take time to explore what brings you here, what’s been hard, and what’s been helping, even if only a little. Together, we’ll identify your goals and create a plan that feels realistic and meaningful. At the heart of my work is the belief that the therapeutic relationship is where real healing happens, when you feel seen, heard, and accepted for who you are.
My approach is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and trauma-informed, culturally sensitive practices. I also have experience supporting clients in crisis, including those struggling with self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to start, I’m here to help you make sense of things and build practical tools that support real change, at your pace, and in your own way.
