Work with Fleurian?
My ideal client is someone who finds themselves in the in-between spaces—grieving, questioning, evolving. Whether you’re processing loss, facing life transitions, or exploring identity, you don’t have to go through it alone. I hold deep respect for the full range of human emotions and experience, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients in these tender, transformational moments. In therapy, we co-create a space where your truth can emerge, where you can feel seen and supported. My intention is to help you reconnect with your inner resources, access a greater sense of ease, and discover a clearer path forward.
Who am I.
My name is Fleurian Enfys Maxton (FEM). I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
As a neurodivergent, queer, transfemme, genderfluid human with nearly 20 years of experience as an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) and vice-principal (OPC), I’m deeply familiar with transitions and identity-based and systemic injustices. Supporting individuals and families with identity, self-esteem, gender identity and expression, mental health, dying and death, grief, loss, and spiritual growth is at the heart of what I offer.
I am currently a graduate student in the practicum phase of my Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology program. I hold a Bachelor’s of Education (2006), a Bachelor of Social Science in Sociology (2006), and a range of additional qualifications in areas such as the Arts and Indigenous Studies. I have been a Reiki practitioner since 2008 and hold certifications in the Foundations of Applied Mindfulness Meditations (2018), Mindfulness-Informed End of Life Care (2019), and a 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training (2020). Most recently—as a commitment to continued education and lifelong learning—I completed a 60-hour Somatic EMDR training (2025) to bring additional somatic tools to my work with clients.
Areas of Specialization
-
I aim to provide safe and affirming care that honours your sovereignty as a human being. I believe in your choice to explore your sense of self—from identity to relationships, sexuality to gender. This spectrum is one worthy of exploration. Whether navigating your own coming out journey, gender evolution and/or transition, or whether facing systemic injustice, the therapeutic room is place for you to be expressly visible, as you are witnessed in a resource-rich space of belonging.
-
Whether chosen or unexpected, major life changes and transitions can bring to life uncertainty, stress, and a whole host of challenges and emotions. This can be sensitively confronting to our view of the world and especially our place in it. Through the exploration of existential belonging and in finding ways to reorient you towards greater authenticity, my role is to support you in helping to arrive in a new place of being. In our sessions, we get curious about alignment and the very inner work we can do together to help you rearchitect your relationship with existence.
-
Grief, is a non-linear, deeply personal inner process that does not follow a prescribed timeline. When faced with loss, making sense of the world can take time and great care. Whether mourning a loved one (e.g., a pet or human), the end of a relationship or career path, or facing a significant, unexpected change in your life, sitting with a compassionate witness can make a world of difference. As a therapist who is skilled in travelling the inner dimensions and emotional landscapes, with you, I see my role as a supportive, fellow traveller.
-
As a psychotherapist specializing in supporting teachers and educators, my professional and lived experiences help me understand the unique emotional demands, burnout risks, and daily challenges you face in and out of the classroom. My therapeutic approach is tailored to help you manage stress, set boundaries, and reconnect with your purpose in education. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, or simply stretched too thin, this space is designed for you to feel seen, supported, and restored. You spend every day caring for the well-being of others–but what does true, resonant self-care look like when you prioritize yourself too?
The way we find our way to meaning is the process that we must travel, with and for ourselves. Be it in the spaciousness of community or the introspective and sacredness of individual, direct experience—there is no one right way of making meaning. There is simply the way that is right and aligned for you.
