I mostly work with clients who deal with anxiety, stress in personal, work and university, relationship issues, low moods, life transitions, building confidence and self esteem, parenting . I also work with children but not in a virtual setting.

As a relationship therapist, I focus on parent child relationships, couple relationships and relationships at the work place.

Do you find yourself stuck in a same negative loop with your partner? Do you feel you are walking on eggshells to avoid conflict? Are we roommates now? Do you long to be seen & heard by your partner? I see you & your pain, lots of couples experience this at some point in their relationship & as a result start feeling lonely. They learn to protect themselves by avoiding conflict or yelling to grab attention which breeds resentment, emotional disconnect & impacts trust between the partners. As a first generation south asian immigrant, I am curious about the impact of social & cultural norms in shaping us & our internal working model.

Hi I'm Judy, Director at Your Story Counselling (YSC). At YSC, we understand that life can be stressful, it's easy to become disconnected from ourselves and those we love. Our goal is to help you find what you need in order to create the pathways towards your own desired journey in life. When we open ourselves up to our vulnerabilities, we open ourselves up to our full potential. We believe that all of us have the strength within ourselves to overcome and forge ahead with our own preferred way of life, love, and happiness. We all can use some help and support from time to time.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, sexual orientation). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

Your mind is constantly telling you that you need to do more, but it's hard just to get out of bed in the morning. Chronic pain makes everyday tasks really hard. Everyone around you seems normal and you wonder how they have it all together. Maybe family and friends are supportive, but you worry about being a burden. Or maybe your life is good on paper and nobody sees your struggles, nobody sees your pain. As someone who has lived with chronic pain and anxiety, I know how hard life can get. I understand how isolating it can all be.

Need someone to talk to? Navigating today’s world can be challenging. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to help you reduce your daily struggles and optimize your quality of life. I specialize in using diverse evidence-based therapies that are best suited for your situation, personality type, and specific needs. I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression.

What if you could talk to your partner without it becoming an escalated argument every single time? How would you feel to have just one day, without feeling stressed, sad or anxious? How would you feel if you were able to have a healthy routine? How would you feel if you managed your anger effectively? Imagine if you were able to talk to someone without any judgement? How you feel to live without guilt? Good, right? I can help you with that. I give clients the space to talk about their feelings and thoughts to help them manage their emotions effectively and live fuller lives.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

ReNu Counselling & Psychotherapy offers counselling and psychotherapy services for a diverse range of issues. We offer culturally-informed care to people of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. Our therapists strive to create a welcoming environment that helps clients lead more fulfilling lives. We provide a range of services to meet different income-levels, therapeutic needs, and approach preferences.

Deciding to seek psychotherapy is often the result of emotional turmoil, conflicts and arguments, sleepless nights, worries, and distress. However, I think this is the best self-care one can gift to oneself. Talking about our issues with a non-judgemental, neutral person who listens to you and holds you in a safe space of comfortable conversation is therapeutic. It helps one to process and understand one's feelings, thoughts, behavior; and enables the client to value own self, and recognize the worth and potential one has as an individual, irrespective of the circumstances.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS IN VAUGHAN/SAUGA AND PHONE/VIDEO*** In life, we take many paths. Some paths are smooth and effortless, while others can be rough and challenging. Sometimes, on a particularly difficult path, we can lose sight of our goals, loved ones, and the connection to our inner selves. On the surface, it may feel like we do not have the strength to get through these hardships. But I believe that we can find it within ourselves to forge new pathways towards happiness. Therapy is empowering! By working through emotions, thoughts, and feelings, you can grow into the person you want to be, and achieve your full potential.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.
