Ada Sabatelli

MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified

Social Worker, Psychotherapist
Offering In-person and Virtual Therapy

Welcome to ASR Counselling and Psychotherapy in Hamilton. I am Ada Sabatelli, a Social Worker and Psychotherapist with over 22 years of clinical experience. As a therapist, I am here to guide you through transformative healing with trauma-informed and attachment-focused therapy.

I specialize in supporting adults aged 21 and above, particularly those battling the shadows of their past—trauma, anxiety, and depression—struggling to find peace and understanding in their lives.

Many clients come to me trapped in cycles of repetitive, destructive behaviours, burdened by overwhelming anxiety, depression, or scars from past and present traumas. They often endure guilt, shame, and an underlying sense of hopelessness that stifles their growth and happiness.

Through our sessions, you will learn how past traumas shape your current behaviours, empowering you to break free and embrace self-compassion. Together, we will strive towards a life you deserve—a life marked by relief, empowerment, and a renewed understanding of yourself.


Why Work With Me?

Choosing to start your healing journey can be daunting, filled with uncertainties and fears. As a therapist with specialized training in techniques like EMDR, Ego State Therapy, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, I offer a therapeutic relationship built on trust and deep understanding.

I hold an Honours BA in Psychology and a Bachelor's and Master's in Social Work, with additional certifications in EMDR, SSP, and Ego State Interventions. These qualifications equip me with a comprehensive toolkit that enhances my therapeutic approach, allowing me to make a significant difference in the lives of those I work with.

My Therapy Approach

Your therapy journey with me will begin with establishing a strong rapport, focusing on creating a foundation of trust and safety, which is vital for effective healing. In subsequent sessions, we will employ tailored techniques to unravel deeply entrenched thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, paving the way for significant relief and transformation.

A Little About Me

When I’m not in the therapy room, I find joy and solace in the quiet moments of life—be it a serene walk in nature or losing myself in a good book. These passions rejuvenate my spirit and enhance my ability to empathize, a quality I bring to each therapy session.
