You don’t need to arrive at therapy with the right words, a clear plan, or a version of yourself that feels easier for someone else to understand.
Therapy with Arthur is warm, curious, and collaborative—a space to better understand yourself, build trust in your own needs and choices, and create more room for what matters most to you.
Arthur Sullivan, Registered Social Worker
Somatic, IFS-Informed & DBT Therapist
Choosing a therapist is about more than credentials or areas of expertise. It’s also about finding someone you feel comfortable talking to.
Take a moment to meet Arthur and hear, in his own words, a little about how he approaches therapy, the people he tends to connect with, and the kind of space he hopes to create with his clients.
You’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand yourself, your relationships, or why certain emotions and patterns can feel so difficult to shift.
Maybe you experience emotions intensely, struggle with anger or emotional regulation, or find yourself caught in patterns of shame, self-doubt, or putting other people’s needs ahead of your own.
You may be neurodivergent, part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, exploring gender or identity, navigating poly or kink relationships, or simply looking for a therapist who won’t assume there is one “right” way to live, relate, or understand yourself.
You might also be working through trauma, grief, relationship challenges, masculinity, boundaries, life transitions, or questions around spirituality and meaning.
With Arthur, therapy is about understanding your world—not fitting you into someone else’s idea of what it should look like.
Therapy with Arthur is collaborative and adaptable. There isn’t one way a session has to look—the conversation can shift depending on what you need that day and where you are in the therapeutic process.
Arthur may offer support, ask questions, challenge a familiar way of thinking, or simply create space for you to slow down and explore what’s happening. Rather than telling you what your experience means, he wants to understand your world and the way you make sense of it.
Your agency is an important part of that process. You get a say in the pace, depth, and direction of therapy. There may be times for building practical skills, exploring patterns and relationships, sitting with difficult emotions, or even celebrating the progress you’ve made.
Most importantly, Arthur sees therapy as a relationship built over time—one where trust, honesty, feedback, and feeling respected matter.
Your ‘no’ will be honored.
Arthur draws from somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, mindfulness, and other approaches—but therapy isn’t about following a formula or applying a technique simply because it’s supposed to work.
Together, you might explore how emotions show up in your body, get curious about different parts of yourself, build practical skills for navigating intense emotions, or look more closely at patterns that keep showing up in your relationships and everyday life.
Sometimes the work may involve slowing down and sitting with an experience. Other times, it might mean trying something practical, challenging an old belief, or finding a new way to communicate what you need.
The approach can change as you do. What matters is finding ways of working that feel meaningful, useful, and connected to where you are right now.
You shouldn’t have to spend therapy explaining or defending who you are, how you identify, the relationships you choose, or the way you experience the world.
Arthur works from an affirming, non-judgmental perspective and welcomes clients across diverse identities and experiences, including 2SLGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities, as well as those exploring polyamory, kink, gender, sexuality, and different ways of relating.
Rather than assuming there’s a “right” way to live, love, communicate, or understand yourself, Arthur approaches these conversations with curiosity. The focus is on understanding what feels authentic and meaningful to you.
Therapy can be a place to explore who you are—not a place where you have to justify it.
Outside of the therapy room, Arthur enjoys spending time in nature, whether he’s hiking, camping, canoeing, or simply finding somewhere quiet to slow down and recharge.
He’s also a lifelong learner with an interest in philosophy, spirituality, mythology, and the different ways people make meaning of their experiences. When he’s at home, you might find him reading, gaming, listening to music, or enjoying a good movie.
Arthur values curiosity, connection, and authenticity both inside and outside of his work—and believes there’s always room for a little humour along the way.
You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on or whether Savannah is the right therapist for you before reaching out.
A free consultation is simply a chance to meet, ask questions, talk a little about what you’re looking for, and see how it feels to connect.
