Meet Laura Boyko – Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Certified Life & Wellness Coach

With over 20 years of experience in mental health counselling and relationship therapy, I’ve supported individuals facing various challenges, including addiction, relationship issues, and life transitions. My work spans diverse settings, including community-based care, hospitals, and post-secondary education. I specialize in helping clients navigate life changes, improve communication and conflict resolution in relationships, and manage grief, loss, and employment transitions.

I believe in fostering meaningful connections with couples to help them rekindle their relationships and work through challenges collaboratively. I also support families navigating changes, providing them with empathetic and active listening to strengthen their bonds.

My credentials include a Master of Social Work from York University, certification as a Life & Wellness Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation, and membership with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I continuously strive to improve my practice by learning new counselling modalities and engaging in leadership training, including teamwork, executive presence, and strategic planning.

When I’m not supporting clients, I enjoy giving back to the community by serving on the Board of a local health centre and volunteering as a hockey team trainer. I’m also passionate about volleyball and love spending time with my Australian Shepherd, Sadie.
