Attachment-based Therapists in Surrey, BC

I believe in connection and relationship over anything else. I work through an attachment, emotion focused, and narrative lens. This means that I emphasize the importance of your relationships, understanding the meaning and connection behind your emotions, and help you identify and live in your life story. My role is to walk alongside you in hopes that you feel more understood, more informed, and more hopeful. Let's break out of the norms and the "shoulds" of life and step into a more authentic and genuine version of you.

I am dedicated to helping my clients deal with their difficult experiences and struggles in life. I compassionately support and guide my clients to discover their untapped strengths and resources so they can attain their greatest potential and find deeper meaning in life. I work with children, adolescents, adults and families to help bring about healing, growth and change. Building on a framework of warmth, empathy and compassion, my goal is to create an atmosphere in which you feel safe to explore even the most difficult areas of your life. My services are covered by most insurance companies and I direct bill to ICBC, CVAP & FNHA.

Welcome to the counselling services at Celtic Place and Healing Place. Counselling provides a space and opportunity for you to explore thoughts and feelings, behaviours and relationships that may be troubling you or causing difficulty in your life. Counselling also offers a source of support in times of crisis and during difficult times such as you may be experiencing now. Some of the ways in which counselling can be beneficial is through bringing deeper personal insight, helping find better ways of coping with problems and it also can help you improve your relationships.

My priority is your own personal empowerment, self-love, and balance within your life and your self. With a focus on healing the traumas and wounds within, I am honoured to hold space for your personal and unique journey. My work and life has been centered around women's wellness, parenting, grief and loss, life transitions, as well as mental health and challenges with substance misuse.

We all have our unique journeys that is often filled with challenges and obstacles that can be extremely difficult to solely manage effectively. We are all worthy and deserving of healing and inner peace. I create a safe and confidential place where the individuals, couples and family and children experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, loss, communication, sexual abuse, relationship difficulties, drug and alcohol, eating disorder, trauma, separation and divorce, family violence and Indian Residential School effects. You will know what your needs are, what you want and why, make reachable goals and take steps to get them.

The concept of our “self” can be approached in numerous ways. In my practice, I see our consciousness and actions as driven by parts. These parts can operate with various outcomes with a baseline of wanting to do good in your life; however, in different situations, these parts can do more harm than we want. The mind and body are such complex systems that it would be foolish to think that a single method will work for everyone. My practice sees a combination of theories including Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy.

While searching for a clinical counsellor, you may be at the second stage of change where you are contemplating how to manage the challenges in your life. At this contemplative stage you may be seeking support and guidance in an attempt to understand and create change in your life.

My name is Rejoe Mohan and I am the Co-Founder of Mind Always Matters. It can be a challenge to reach out for mental health assistance when we are feeling anxious, distressed or depressed. I really appreciate you for looking out for assistance. That itself, shows the inner strength you have. I did my first Masters in Psychology from India and there for 3 years. I then moved to Canada and did my second Masters in Counselling Psychology. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space for you, so that we could explore and heal from the past trauma and pain that might have impacted you and to live a meaningful life in the moment.

Dandelion Counselling offers a creative, safe and containing space to explore thoughts and feelings. To be effective, it is not about what I 'do', but, what I can 'be' for the client: meeting wherever you may be in life and gently & empathically co-creating a therapeutic relationship. I am trained in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling with an interest in attachment and developmental trauma. This allows us to move beyond behaviour modification into an biopsychosocial psychotherapeutic understanding of what is happening. The insights from these fields can support a shift to a life where we 'respond' rather than 'react'.

I hope to hold a compassionate space where we can accept the purposes of our behaviours, while challenging ourselves to pursue new, more pleasant ways of being. We are not always shown the acceptance and compassion I believe is needed to grow into the best version of ourselves. My hope is that our therapy can help you feel accepted as you are so that you can grow into who you’d like to be. Our therapy space can be one in which we can slow down, feel compassion for ourselves, and make meaningful changes towards the goals you put forward.

Anxiety could make us feel like we’re living in constant fear and at times we just want to escape and run away. Depression could make us feel like we don’t want to do anything and it's so hard to find any trace of motivation. Even getting out of bed feels like an enormous challenge. Relationship issues make us feel like we have someone that we cherish, but it’s so hard to communicate with them, they just don’t seem to get what we’re saying, or they claim to understand our point yet never implement any real action. Disagreements and disappointments accumulate, and we start to question the necessity to continue.

Do you feel like you’re constantly negotiating your own identity amongst challenges and responsibilities in your life? From defining your role as a parent or a  partner, to living within a multi-generational/multi-family home, relationships can become a source of ongoing stress.Unexpected changes such as a health crisis or separation can send you into a world of healthcare or social programs that can make you feel overwhelmed.As someone who identifies as BIPOC, and who lives with a chronic illness, I have lived experience in negotiating these worlds. I invite you to work with me to develop strategies to help you cope, heal and grow.

As parents we sometimes feel at a loss as to how to help our child, particularly when they are experiencing difficulties in more than one area of their lives: at school, with friends, regulating emotions, academically, socially or behaviorally. My personal experience and my love for children has helped me to realize that many parents need support and I have a passion for helping children and parents navigate these challenges. It is my belief that it takes a village for total and consistent support to achieve optimum results. I can help with home and school, on what can be a. tough and confusing path.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a number of experience working with people struggling with various mental health issues including but not limited to; trauma, addiction, emotion dysregulation, and relationships. I believe in humans’ natural tendency to ‘bounce back’ from distressing life events. Often, perception of our inner strengths gets clouded due to prolonged stress, and we give up living a life we truly deserve. In my practice, I work together with my clients as a team to redefine their strengths and help them achieve their sense of well- being and self worth.

Change can be daunting so you stay 'stuck' in situations that no longer serve you. Maybe life feels 'comfortable' but you feel unfulfilled. You wear a mask to hide the anxiety or unhappiness you feel. The emotional pain is blocking you from connecting with those closest to you. It may seem there is no hope, so you continue living an unsatisfied life. Maybe you have learned to get through difficult times alone, but are ready to further explore yourself and the relationships in your life. You want change, and to feel whole again. You want to connect with yourself, and feel confident in who you are.
