I provide a warm, grounded, and supportive space for individuals (7+) , couples, and families navigating anxiety, grief and loss, people-pleasing, neurodiversity, and relationship challenges. I have a particular interest in supporting clients with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxious attachment, and the feelings of overwhelm, frustration, or disconnection that can accompany these experiences.
I also support couples who feel caught in recurring cycles of conflict or miscommunication, as well as those navigating betrayal, emotional or physical disconnection, and major life transitions such as becoming parents or supporting aging parents.
My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on helping clients recognize and understand the patterns beneath their emotions and relationships. Together, clients develop practical skills for emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and building greater self-trust and connection.
I use many approaches, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Gottman’s Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), tailoring my approach to each client’s needs and goals.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy reading fantasy novels, playing with my cat, and trying new foods!

My name is Anastasia Machan and I work with children, youth, and families to overcome roadblocks by using effective techniques and strategies that are tailored to their unique family unit. My counselling and coaching practice takes on a feminist approach that is attachment-focused, child-led, and rooted in our natural environment.
