Barbara Wendlowski
Individual Counselling & Somatic Therapy| Ottawa
Helping you feel at home in your body, understand yourself better, and move through life with greater ease, confidence and resilience.
I’m Barbara Wendlowski, and as a Registered Psychotherapist (Ontario) and Somatic Experiencing® (SEP) Practitioner, I guide people toward healing in ways that feel right for them. You can choose individual relational counselling, SEP, or a blend of both. In our sessions, you’ll have a safe, gentle, trauma‑informed space to explore your thoughts and feelings, reconnect with your body, and build greater self-awareness, calm and resilience.
No obligation — just a chance to see if we’re a good fit.
Is This How You've Been Feeling Lately?
You might be here because life has started to feel heavier than usual - or something just doesn't feel quite right.
- Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in worry
- Disconnected from your body or your emotions
- Carrying the impact of stress, trauma, or long-term caregiving
- Struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing or self-criticism
Therapy with me can help:
- Feel safer and more at home in your body
- Understand your patterns with greater kindness and clarity
- Develop tools to navigate stress and intense emotions
- Create more space for rest, choice, and meaningful connection
If any of this resonates with you, you are welcome to explore how we might work together.
How Can I Support You?
Everyone's journey is different. I offer two ways of working, depending on your needs and what feels most helpful to you:
Individual Counselling
A supportive space to explore thoughts, emotions, and life challenges in a collaborative and non-judgmental way. Individual counselling can help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Sessions are paced to your comfort
Somatic Therapy
Sometimes talking isn’t enough. Somatic Experiencing® gently works with the body and nervous system, supporting emotional release, self-regulation, and healing at a pace that feels safe and respectful.
Safe, client-led, and trauma-informed
Support for the Life You're Living, From the Inside Out
Hi, I’m Barbara. I work with adults who want to feel more supported, grounded, and steady as they navigate life’s challenges. Together, we gently explore your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system patterns, building self-awareness, resilience, and a stronger sense of safety within yourself.
I create a safe, collaborative space for exploration and growth
