About Maggi Woo
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) offering online therapy for individuals and couples in Ontario and British Columbia.
Sometimes the people who find their way here are carrying stories they have kept quiet for a long time. Grief that shows up at odd moments. Shame that whispers they are too much or not enough. The ache of disconnection, from a partner, from themselves, from hope.
My role is to meet you there with curiosity and care. I see therapy as a space for gentle discovery, a place where we explore what has shaped you, what still hurts, and what might be ready to heal. You will find me inquisitive and present, someone who listens closely and helps you make sense of the pieces you have been carrying. Together, we can begin to notice what wants to emerge: your voice, your needs, your aliveness.
I offer online individual therapy, couples therapy, sex and intimacy therapy, grief counselling, therapy intensives, and discernment counselling for clients in Ontario and British Columbia.
"I hold deep respect for the courage it takes to begin."
Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years in the corporate world, where I witnessed how often people carry quiet struggles beneath the surface of success. I have also owned and ran a women’s portrait photography studio for more than ten years. While the work was creative, it was never only about photographs. It was about helping women feel seen, often at moments when they were questioning who they were becoming or reconnecting with parts of themselves they thought had been lost. Looking back, I can see that the heart of that work was never the camera. It was always the relationship.
My approach has also been shaped by years supporting individuals and families through hospice and bereavement care, as well as volunteering within community programs serving people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and Fairview communities. These experiences continue to humble my approach and deepen my respect for the human capacity to endure, connect, and heal, even in life’s most uncertain moments.
In our work together, you can expect warmth, steadiness, and genuine curiosity. My role is to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore what has been difficult to face and supported enough to make sense of the patterns that have shaped your life and relationships. Together, we can begin to understand how those patterns came to be, honour the ways they may have once protected you, and gently make room for something different.
I hold deep respect for the courage it takes to begin. If you are considering therapy, my hope is that this can be a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself, curious about your own story, and open to the possibility that things can feel different. Healing takes time, and you do not have to do it alone.
