The Therapist:
Darijan Northstar
I’m Darijan Northstar—a Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and trauma-informed coach with a rare passion: helping people liberate themselves from the inside out by working not only with the conscious mind, but with the deep architecture of the subconscious.

Credentials & Approach
With a Master of Science in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy from the University of Derby (UK) and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from York University (Canada), I combine academic rigour with radical empathy. My approach isn’t cookie-cutter. It’s layered, intuitive, neuroscience-informed—and it goes deep.
​
I specialize in guiding clients beneath surface symptoms, where root patterns live—patterns formed by trauma, conditioning, identity wounds, and belief systems. Through precision techniques like clinical hypnosis, brainspotting, narrative reprocessing, and somatic inquiry, we gently rewire emotional imprints and rewrite the nervous system’s old script.

My Therapeutic Philosophy
Most therapy stays on the surface—talking through problems, managing symptoms. That’s not how I work.
I help people level up by entering the deeper terrain of the psyche, where transformation actually happens. My process is integrative and trauma-attuned, blending Eastern and Western psychology, somatic awareness, attachment theory, and subconscious reprogramming.
I believe real healing requires conscious alignment with the subconscious. When the two are divided, we live in internal conflict. When they reunite, clarity, power, and wholeness return.​ You don’t need to be “fixed.” You need to come home to yourself.

Empowering the Essence of Self
At the core of my therapeutic mission lies the ardent desire to empower individuals to manifest their most authentic selves, aligning their lives with their strong core values. I serve as a beacon of hope, illuminating the boundless possibilities and personal power that lie within those grappling with life's dissonance and challenges. My therapeutic space is a sanctuary, free from judgment, where individuals embark on a transformative journey towards self-improvement and self-actualization.
