Welcome
Hello! I'm Barbara Symmons and I'm dedicated to my craft: empowering people to overcome barriers and move forward with confidence to excellence. For over 20 years I have practised as a psychotherapist and counselor in Toronto, Canada.
Through advanced studies at the Adler Institute, I have added executive and life coaching to my repertoire. My comprehensive education, training and experience combine with a strong spiritual base, intuition, sense of humour, and insight to create meaningful relationships.
“To love what you do is a gift. To share that gift in helping others gives your life real purpose”
