Hello and a warm welcome! I'm Rahul Minhas, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and EMDR therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I specialize in supporting youth, adults, families, and first responders in areas such as addictions, depression, grief and loss, primarily obsessional and obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD, childhood trauma, general anxiety, anger challenges, sports and social anxiety, PTSD, relationship challenges, life transitions, and more. In addition to this, I offer family counselling, drawing from my experience as a school counsellor for the Surrey School District.
I have a decade of total experience in supporting individuals of all ages and backgrounds in schools, community clinics, and government agencies. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and others to tailor our work to your needs.
Each individual brings their own unique experiences. Together, we'll work to challenge unhelpful patterns, process past experiences, and foster growth, helping you move toward greater self-awareness and emotional well-being. Let’s connect—schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see how I can support you on your journey.
