Begin Anu Psychotherapy

WELCOME TO BEGIN ANU PSYCHOTHERAPY

A space to move from coping to healing — one session at a time — with the support of a dedicated and highly skilled therapist.

Whether you’re beginning therapy for the first time or returning to your healing journey, we’re here to walk beside you — quietly, gently, and at your own pace.

Here, you don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to be fully okay to start. You just have to begin — and we’ll meet you there, in the space between coping and becoming whole again.

WHO WE SUPPORT: We provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals, couples, and families in Mississauga & online therapy across Ontario.

GETTING STARTED: New Clients: Book a free 15-minute phone or video consultation to discuss your needs & find the right therapist for you. Use the booking options below to schedule your session. We look forward to supporting your healing journey.

Returning Clients: Schedule your next session directly with your therapist by clicking on their picture.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR SESSION: Please keep in mind our 48-hour cancellation policy. If less than 48 hours’ notice is given—or if a session is missed—the full session fee will be charged (which we really don’t like doing!).

Hello and welcome. My name is Ilham Jilani, and I am a Registered Social Worker who has been providing psychotherapy for the past four and a half years. I completed both my undergraduate and graduate studies at Toronto Metropolitan University (Formerly Ryerson University).

I support individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, depression, or the demands of life transitions.

In our work together, you can expect a safe space to be heard and understood, along with practical tools and gentle guidance to help you move forward. My goal is to walk alongside you, supporting your goals, helping you build resilience, and empowering you to create meaningful change in your life

My approach is compassionate, client-centred, and grounded in evidence-based practices, but also flexible to meet your unique needs. Most importantly, I want therapy to feel like a place where you are understood, respected, and empowered on your journey toward improved mental health.

It is an honour to walk alongside clients on their journey toward improved mental health and well-being. I warmly welcome you to this space and look forward to supporting you in achieving your goals.

Josset Johnson, MSW, BSW, RSW

At Begin Anu Psychotherapy, I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families seeking meaningful, lasting change. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges by creating a safe, collaborative space that encourages insight, healing, and growth beyond coping.

My approach to therapy is warm, relational, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy tailored to your needs and goals. You will not be rushed or judged. We work at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and aligned with your healing process.

I have over 10 years of valuable professional experience, during which I have worked effectively and proficiently to resolve a wide variety of issues, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem, self-harm, stress management, life transitions, and enhancing coping skills. Central to my work with clients is my trustworthiness, authenticity, and respectfulness. I consider it a privilege to accompany people on their journeys of self-discovery, change, and healing as they navigate life’s difficulties.

With a Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Windsor and a Bachelor of Counselling Degree from Northern Caribbean University in Jamaica, I am also a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).
