Ambreen is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Canadian Certified Counsellor with close to two decades of experience supporting youth and adults in the public post-secondary sector.
Her work is grounded in warmth, genuine connection, and creating a supportive space where clients can deepen self-awareness and self-compassion, while developing tools for resilience and growth. She integrates evidence-based approaches including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices, honouring the interconnectedness of mind and body in the healing journey.
She holds a Master's degree and clinical training in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia. She is also trained in mediation and conflict resolution, which supports her collaborative and relational style.
She works with youth and adults in the following areas: anxiety, depression, cultural and identity concerns, relationship challenges, stress management/recovery from burnout, self-worth, life transitions and adjustment (including career decision-making, acculturation, post-partum adjustment and divorce), perfectionism, procrastination and family conflict.
Her approach gives value to social and cultural context and honours each person's unique story, resources, and intersecting identities. She also brings her lived experience as an immigrant and parent, which informs her understanding of transition, adaptation, and the search for meaning and alignment.
She believes healing and growth are deeply relational and supported through connection, safety, and community.
