My name is Giselle Dias and I am a psychotherapist practicing in London, Ont. I have been working in the field of social justice for the past 20 years and have extensive experience providing counseling, support, advocacy and in-depth psychotherapy for clients.



  In 1995, I received an undergraduate degree in Law and Women’s Studies from Carleton University. In 2007 I decided to pursue a Masters Degree in Sociology from York University. During that time, I also completed an 8 year  training program in Psychotherapy from Ontario Psychotherapy and Counseling Program in Toronto, Ontario.  I have received specific training in: in-depth psychotherapy, developmental counseling, eco-psychology, Gestalt therapy, expressive arts therapy, couples counseling, intersubjectivity therapy, and I have been trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) for PTSD. I am also a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy CAPT).
I have been working in the field of social justice for the past 20 years. My focus and expertise includes working with:
 •  victims of violence, 
 •  people living with post traumatic stress (PTSD), 
 •  prisoners and ex-prisoners, 
 •  people who use drugs, sex workers,
 •  people with mental health issues,
 •  people living with disAbilities,
 •  queer and trans communities, and
 •  activists   

I have chosen to work with these communities because I recognize the ways in which society stigmatizes these populations, socially excludes them and then blames them for societal problems.  I am deeply passionate about supporting and empowering people to come into themselves - to see their strengths, feel their passion and trust their intuition in order to live the lives they were meant to live.
