Therapists in Vancouver, BC

I believe that therapy can be a safe space for healing and self-discovery. I feel very passionate about supporting people through this process and creating a therapeutic relationship where you can feel validated and supported. I practice with a trauma-informed lens and believe in the importance of nervous system regulation during sessions. Because of this, I often incorporate somatic interventions, as well as grounding exercises and resources. My approach is attachment and emotion-focused, anti-oppressive, and informed by feminist and queer theory.

My client focus is working with neurodivergent people with conditions such as ADHD, Autism and Learning Disabilities. Although these differences can be an asset in many situations, individuals may have difficulty navigating a world not necessarily designed for them. Feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, and low self esteem may linger from years of feeling misunderstood or being under-equipped in social, school or work settings. Exploring your strengths, obstacles and goals allow you to take charge of your mental health and work with your difference rather than against it.

Nothing can take the place of 30 years of hands-on practical experience in working full time as a therapist and providing Direct Neurofeedback treatments to help reset your nervous system. I can quickly and effectively get to the underlying root of your issue which helps to fast-track your therapy process. I can explain difficult concepts and draw out unproductive cycles of interactions in ways that are simple, clear, that help save you time and shift patterns quickly. Based on our initial session, I will tailor-make a treatment plan that fits your specific needs.

Do you feel anxious or depressed or hopeless? Have you experienced a loss? Are you struggling with a lack of direction or purpose? Or, perhaps you are experiencing difficulty with others. I work with adults experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I have a decade of healthcare experience working with a diverse population of individuals and families experiencing traumatic grief, and loss.

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

I offer counselling in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu languages to adults, children, couples, and families.

Sometimes life can become overwhelming and we feel lost, disconnected or like we are never good enough.

I am a registered clinical counsellor, an approved clinical supervisor, and an educator with extensive experience. My broad range of professional qualifications has enabled me to work in a range of mental health services within the public and private sectors. I am a passionate educator, a published author, and a versatile clinician specializing in working with children and youth, families, couples, and groups. The scope of my clinical work includes complex trauma, risk assessment and crisis management, and multicultural counselling. I have extensive experience working with women in abusive relationships.

I love working with clients of all walks of life and welcome anyone who is looking to begin their journeys for change, regardless of what that change may look like. I approach each session with compassion and encouragement, opening the floor for us to collaboratively work towards developing a therapeutic goal and striving towards achieving it.

Moments of struggle are inevitable. However, when we are at a crossroads, we can begin seeing ourselves more clearly. My practice, Liminal Space Counselling, is founded on the idea that the space between two points in our lives is a chance to reflect and begin again. I also offer a group on Self Compassion.

Do you struggle with trauma, anxiety, stress, addictions or low mood? I can help. I have extensive experience working with trauma, addictions, low mood, self-esteem issues and anxiety in private practice and in a treatment setting. Therapeutically, I know how important it is to have a sense of connection, and a non-judgemental person to listen and understand in times of struggle, change and growth. Mental health is a spectrum and many of us go will go through periods where we need support. I invite clients to get curious about what is happening for them and to engage in the therapeutic process with self-compassion and an open mind .

I grew up in a culture where mental health was not given a priority and there was, and still is, a lot of stigma surrounding it. My passion for counselling came from wanting to give people a space to feel heard, understood and heal; to provide a space for safety, connection, appreciation, understanding and growth. I work with a wide range of populations and concerns, and welcome all who need a space to heal.

I work with children aged 7 and up, youth, and adults/parents. All persons and conversations are unique. Therefore the way I work mostly depends on what you might ask for help with. I always want treatment to be effective, so I aim to integrate a variety of evidence-based techniques into a plan that is uniquely suited to each client.

My counselling aims to help you deal with and overcome issues that are causing emotional pain or making you feel uncomfortable. I provide a safe and regular space for you to talk and explore difficult feelings. By discussing your concerns with you, I can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, as well as identifying ways of finding your own solutions to problems. It can be a great relief to share your worries and fears with someone who acknowledges your feelings and is able to help you reach a positive solution.
