With 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping adults, couples, and families, particularly Asian clients in Western cultures.
As a counselor, I’m dedicated to supporting women of all ages in uncovering their life potential, couples seeking premarital or marriage counseling (including cross-cultural couples), and busy mothers striving to strengthen their marriages and family lives. I also have a passion for helping immigrants and overseas students adjust to life in a new country, as well as parents understanding their own and their children’s personality traits for healthier interactions. I work with individuals reflecting on their upbringing, life purpose, gender equality, and generational trauma to gain greater freedom.

Are you working endlessly to fix everything in your life — parenting your children, pushing yourself at work, managing relationships — yet still feeling drained and lonely inside? Do you quietly long for someone who truly understands your suffering, but when reaching out, you end up receiving advice that makes you feel judged and lonely? Do you wonder what it would feel like to live a life that’s genuinely self-directed — free from pressure, expectations, and constant striving? Many people assume counselling is slow or just small talk — but in reality, it can be the most effective “quick fix” to your stress and exhaustion.

Do you feel like you are silently carrying a pain that others seem unable to understand?
Not all pain is openly acknowledged. Whether it is the death of a loved one or a pet, a life-altering change in health, recovery from a motor vehicle accident (ICBC), or the end of a relationship—these unseen losses carry a crushing weight. When your internal gears silently jam, the loneliness can be overwhelming. Please know that your pain is real, and it deserves to be honoured.

Hello, Assalamu Alaikum, Namaste, Sat Sri Akal—warm greetings from Anar Bhagudi!
May Peace Be With YOU! Amen!
How are you feeling today?
Let me tell you something!
Life can feel amazing at times and very difficult at others. It’s natural to feel stuck sometimes—because we are human, and humans experience many emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Some emotions can guide us, while others may feel overwhelming or upsetting. Do you ever feel this way?
You may have heard, “let it go” or “move forward.” But it’s hard to release something before you’ve had the chance to understand and process what you feel. Your life is precious!

Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others? Are you carrying the weight of anxiety, low mood, past experiences, or ongoing stress that feels hard to manage alone? Adolescents, teens, and adults may struggle with the impacts of trauma, addiction, or systemic challenges, leaving them unsure where to begin. Wanting a space to feel heard, supported, and understood is natural. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin moving toward clarity, balance, and connection.

FAQ - Asian Counselling
What can an Asian therapist help with?
An Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. How an Asian therapist can make the experience feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a background such as Chinese, Indian, Filipino, Pakistani, Korean, Vietnamese, or Japanese, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable opening up on such topics.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language can play an important role in therapy because people often express emotions, family dynamics, and personal experiences differently depending on the language they are speaking. For some individuals, working with a therapist who speaks their native language, whether it be Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, Korean, Vietnamese, or another language, may help sessions feel more natural and emotionally connected. Even if you are fluent in English, certain thoughts or feelings may still feel easier to communicate in your native language.
How can an Asian therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Cultural background can play an important role in couples counseling and family therapy, particularly when family expectations, communication styles, generational differences, or cultural traditions are influencing the relationship. An Asian therapist may help partners and family members navigate these topics with more cultural understanding and less need to explain the context behind them. For multicultural or multilingual families, a Asian therapist who is bilingual may also help ensure that each person feels heard and understood during sessions.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask prospective therapists whether they have experience working with clients who share your cultural background or speak your preferred language. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might also ask whether they have worked with clients experiencing concerns related to identity, intergenerational conflict, family expectations, or cultural stigma around mental health.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
