Welcome to THINKTHERAPY
I'm Michael Akin, Principal Clinician, Psychotherapist and Registered Counsellor. I spent my early working years as a veterinarian performing complex surgeries, consoling individuals, and developing plans for families under challenging medical emergencies. This is where my love for therapy began and flourished.
That foundation led me to specialize in therapy for individuals in high-stress workplaces like hospitals and veterinary clinics. I've witnessed how workplace stress, burnout, and demanding environments can ripple through every aspect of life.
Through this work, I've learned that therapy only truly works when all factors are taken into consideration. I take a holistic approach, unpacking past and future issues at your own pace—because real healing doesn't follow a rigid timeline.
Trained in high-stress situations, I pride myself on my capacity to keep my cool when things get tough. This is how I meet my clients where they are.
When life gets challenging, you don't have to face it alone.

My Approach to Therapy
Science-Backed, No Fluff
I use cutting-edge, evidence-based therapies that actually work. No pseudoscience, no woo-woo—just proven methods like CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) that deliver real results.
Your Results Are My Priority
My main concern is you getting better. Period. Whether you're dealing with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, or feeling stuck—I'll give you practical tools that work in the real world, not just in theory.
No Judgment, Just Solutions
You lead the session. We work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you. No pressure, no agenda except getting you to where you want to be.
Ex-veterinarian turned psychotherapist. No fluff, no nonsense—just calm, direct support when life gets heavy. I've handled worse stress than most; I've got yours.
