Nina Nyalowo

Many people arrive at Nina Nyalowo’s practice carrying something they have never quite been able to say out loud — a shame they cannot place, a relationship stretched to its limit, a version of themselves they have kept carefully out of sight. Nina is a Registered Social Worker based in Toronto who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and the particular weight that builds when professional identity starts to consume everything else, including the evenings and weekends that blur because the work chat never really closes.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused approaches, shaping each engagement around the individual rather than a fixed protocol. Her practice holds space for people working through abuse and trauma recovery, sexual addiction, racial identity and race-based trauma, gender and sexual diversity, immigration stress, career transitions, and professional burnout, among other significant life challenges.

Nina offers individual and relationship counselling, coaching, consultation, and Single Session Therapy for those seeking focused, one-time support. All services are delivered virtually, with licensing across Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia. Smerauralis Counselling and Consulting Services operates from the belief that even the experiences a person has long kept hidden carry the seeds of genuine renewal.
