No longer seeing in-person clients in Langley. On maternity leave October 2023- April 2024. "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore. Whether you have tried many therapists, or have never been to therapy, I am comfortable working with people who are skeptical about the counselling process. I bring a trauma-informed lens to counselling to help you work through tricky moments from the past and present that we may or may not be entirely aware of. I have a person-centred approach, which means that I work collaboratively with you, at your own pace.

You are worth fighting for. Do you find yourself feeling stuck in your own story? Perhaps you're battling to pick up the pieces in your life, but are left feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone. I am here to inspire courage in you to keep fighting, because there seems to be a part of you that longs for something more. As a pre-licensed therapist, I am committed to walking with you through life’s challenges and helping you find your path to healing. I seek to provide a safe, warm, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your inner world. I will honour your values and beliefs and celebrate your unique individuality and needs.

If you are feeling low self worth/ self esteem, overwhelmed, burnt out, depressed, and/or anxious, I can help. I can make your life better by partnering with you and helping you develop an action plan and give you tools and techniques to help. If you are neurodivergent (ND, or not sure), I have lived experience with neurodiversity and extensive training in supporting ND, I can meet you where you are at and give you a safe space to be you and to grow in.

I have a passion for exploring and finding the power of our minds to help us heal. I immigrated to Canada in my early thirties and have experienced loss in my life. These experiences have shaped who I am as a person and a counsellor today. I believe when you understand the pain of healing you can uncover your innate strengths and make more mindful choices. My approach is gentle, but focused and I believe in creating a caring and safe environment for clients to explore challenges in their lives. I use the wisdom of the mind and the body to guide our work. I have worked as a counsellor since 1995 and I have extensive experience

I work with people who have run out of energy and are tired of running into the same obstacles. Trauma is sneaky, hiding deep in memory but also openly; as physical pain, attention deficits, depression and/or anxiety. My life experience, research and training, will provide a safe, non-judgemental space to discuss strategies remove obstacles and move forward with renewed energy and hope. The decision to find a counsellor is an good example of readiness and finding the right counsellor is important. Please visit me for a free consultation.

As your counselor, I create a calm and compassionate space for you to tell your story. I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is paramount in creating authentic change. My clients often come in stating that they feel stuck no matter how hard they try to change. Often times they feel tired of the same setbacks, don't know how to move forward or that their past trauma continually effects their present day functioning. I collaborate with you to guide you through your healing journey where you can heal from the past and move forward to live presently with self-compassion and self worth.

You are worth investing in. If you have been struggling to find yourself lately, this is a great place to start. As your counsellor I am here to support you in growing your sense of wholeness and mental wellness. My aim is to offer a safe, welcoming environment that allows you to unapologetically attain the release or sense of direction you may be craving. I feel that it is such an honour to be allowed to share in someone’s journey and believe that beautiful things grow from vulnerability. I am passionate about exploring both the collective and the very unique experiences we live through.

Hi! My name is Hamidah and I am a registered clinical counsellor. I have been a counsellor for 7+ years now and have worked with children, youth and adults across various mental health and substance use challenges. I grew up in Singapore, which is a multi-cultural city-state, with influences from both western and eastern culture. Therefore, I am familiar with navigating a complex identity. I pursued my education, both undergraduate and graduate in the states, and moved to BC in 2020 in the midst of pandemic chaos. Hence, I am familiar with the stress and struggles of being an immigrant too.

My team and I provide evidence-based treatment for children, youth, and young adults with anxiety, OCD, or behavioural and learning difficulties. Our clinical approach is grounded in research and based on individual and family cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Committed Therapy (ACT). We also conduct psycho-educational, gifted, and ADHD assessments to better understand one's learning style and further investigate challenges associated with inattention, executive function, among other concerns. Finally, we provide workshops for schools, community-based partners, and parents on a range of topics.

My name’s Martin and I’m a Registered Psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I most often work with people experiencing depression, anxiety (e.g., panic, OCD, generalized worries), and family and relationship difficulties, but also have experience in therapy and assessment with ADHD in children and adults. I place a strong focus on the ways that we experience emotions as well as how we communicate with others, but even more importantly with ourselves. Without necessarily realizing, we are constantly talking to ourselves through our thoughts and constructing how we experience the world.

While I am dedicated to helping individuals unearth their strengths, find their voice, and embrace the very best aspects of themselves, I find it essential to meet each client where they are to work collaboratively toward healing and personal growth. With a core emphasis on relationship-building and a strong therapeutic alliance, I focus on creating a safe and relaxed environment where clients can naturally open up about their inner thoughts and feelings.

You are the wisest guide a counsellor can have. On some level, you know what is needed; however, your ability to listen to your "inner voice" maybe blocked or diminished by fear or past experiences that you are acting on in your current life. Collaboratively, we can sort out and work through your life experiences.

If you are here reading this today, perhaps you are experiencing some personal challenges or struggling with emotional imbalance that leaves you feeling lost, confused, or hopeless. You may be feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. Despite the challenges you may be facing right now, this is not a fixed state. With the right support, you can learn to navigate these challenges and achieve emotional balance to end your internal struggle. As your counsellor, I am committed to providing a safe, warm, and caring environment for you to work through life’s challenges and achieve personal growth and healing.

Taking that first step towards healing takes courage. I want to honour that and walk alongside of you while we work towards your wellness goals. The reality is that not many people are taught the skills to deal with life’s wear and tear. More often than not, we find ourselves in situations where we simply do not know how to work through things on our own. The good news is that we don't have to, and you are on the path to support now! Warmth and acceptance are key tenants of my practice, and sessions will be collaborative, judgment free and open to exploring whatever you bring to the table.

Take the first step today and start feeling better tomorrow! I have helped clients go from a feeling of hopelessness in there current situation to feeling empowered and capable of making change that moves them in a positive direction in life. My clients are of all ages, struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, loss, abuse, stress, communication issues, parent/child conflict and life transitions. I specialize in working with clients who have have experienced trauma and difficulties coping. it is important to find someone you can trust and who has the necessary skills and experience to help you thrive in life.

I am a Professional Transpersonal Counsellor and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with memberships from CACCF and ACCT. I also taught Personal Development for many years. I am also a Certified Care Giver. I offer private, family and group counselling services.

My approach to counselling comes from a place of building an authentic relationship with my clients. I use emotionally focused therapy, CBT, EMDR as well as somatic approaches. Before becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I was working as a Kinesiologist. Therefore, I focus my counselling practice on helping clients achieve greater wellness in both their physical and mental health.

I believe that everyone deserves to live life to their best potential. However, in life, challenges, past struggles, a crisis or other issues may prevent us from living our optimal life. As an experienced counsellor for over 17 years, I believe that if individuals are given an opportunity they will be able to find their inner resources and strengths. It is never too late to make positive changes and live the life you want.
