The ėVölva Philosophy
We work with what others avoid — sex, death, altered states, taboo emotion.
We believe these are not pathologies to fix, but portals into aliveness.
Our therapists and counsellors walk beside you — curious, attuned, and unafraid of the dark.
You’ll be met as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.

Things You Might Be Wondering…
-
Both.
You can meet us online from anywhere in Ontario or in person at our private studio. Each therapist offers different services.
Some clients even move between the two depending on their season or energy. -
Yes — most extended health plans cover sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP / Qualifying), Registered Social Worker (RSW), or Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC).
We’ll provide receipts with the appropriate credentials after each session. -
Counselling often focuses on support and coping — helping you navigate what’s happening now.
Psychotherapy goes deeper: into patterns, wounds, and the parts of you that keep repeating what hurts.
At ėVölva, the two weave together. Some sessions feel practical and grounding; others feel like ceremony. Both are valid.
-
A small number of reduced-rate spots are available through our student and intern therapists.
We believe therapy should be accessible and sustainable — for you and for our practitioners. -
Both — because healing happens in relationship.
Some people come alone to untangle patterns within themselves; others come with a partner to learn new ways of communicating, repairing, and being intimate.
We work with all relationship structures — monogamous, non-monogamous, queer, curious, or undefined.
The focus isn’t on “fixing” the relationship, but on understanding what’s really asking to be seen between you. -
Those are our gateways — but they often lead everywhere else.
When we explore sexuality, grief, or altered states, we inevitably meet identity, family patterns, trauma, and self-worth.
So no, you don’t have to fit those labels. You just need curiosity and a willingness to be honest with yourself.

Giselle Edwards
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Sexologist Candidate
-
I’m not afraid of your story — all of it. I bring a grounded, direct, and deeply human approach to the parts of life most people turn away from. My work is about seeing the whole person, not just their mistakes or their pain.
-
I work with people who’ve caused harm, people who’ve been harmed, and many who hold both truths. This includes those facing sexual offence charges or struggling with secrecy, compulsion, or trauma. Here, you’re met with honesty, accountability, and care — never judgment.
-
Sessions are real, transparent, and focused on rebuilding integrity from the inside out. I’ll challenge you when needed, but always from a place of respect. Together, we work toward understanding, repair, and the possibility of change.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
In-Person + Virtual
-
I specialize in helping men build confidence and navigate the often-overlooked connection between how they see themselves, their mental health, and their sexuality. I help men reconnect with themselves and understand how their sense of masculinity and confidence ties into their personal and sexual lives.

-
Grounded, intuitive, and deeply curious about the human mind. I create space for people who see and feel the world differently — a space where sensitivity and depth are strengths, not flaws.
-
I support neurodivergent adults exploring identity, intimacy, and spirituality. Together, we unpack overstimulation, masking, and the loneliness that can come from thinking or feeling “too much.”
-
Sessions move between reflection, body awareness, and honest conversation. Expect warmth, humour, and room to be fully yourself — without needing to explain your way of being.
