Fozy Ismail

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, MBA

Research shows that the most important factor in successful therapeutic client outcomes is the relationship between client and counsellor. Fozy has focused on building positive relationships for over twenty years.

She learned how to listen, communicate and understand complex situations while working in leadership positions in provincial government ministers’ offices and at Toronto Metropolitan University, in both the Vice President’s office and the Diversity Institute.

Her MBA from the University of Toronto enhanced her problem-solving and decision-making skills. Her MA in Counselling Psychology taught her to be a helpful witness to others’ experiences and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. She is currently pursuing an Islamic Scholar Certification at the Ribaat Academic Institute because she believes in continuous growth especially when it comes to Islam.

Fozy believes a counselling session should be interactive and that clients should look forward to leaving a session with at least one thing to try and make their lives easier. Her experiences as a daughter, sister, aunt, mother and wife have made her patient, accepting, empathetic, non-judgemental, caring and reliable. She will always welcome you with an open mind and a big heart.

*Fozy only offers adult individual counselling at this time – no children under 18 or couples.
