**NEW! I now offer telecounselling on Wednesdays afternoons!** Hello! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering online and in-person counselling for adults, young adults, and couples. If you are feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, unsettled, or unbalanced with life, in relationships, or even at work- asking for help is hard! I offer you an opportunity to face your difficulties constructively and confidently. I can help you develop healthy coping skills, navigate powerful emotions, and communicate effectively in challenging situations. With the goal to help you build and broaden your personal strengths, I invite you to bring your unique toolbox to counselling. I believe that in an environment of unconditional respect and empathy, every individual has the ability to achieve significant and sustainable change. My approach to counselling embraces both Eastern and Western philosophies of holistic healing including compassionate, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed practice of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT). When suitable for my clients, I am comfortable incorporating other practices. Clients have described me as “warm, kind, and non-judgmental”. Clients also expressed that they “appreciated our deep personal conversations and all tools provided”. I am comfortable conversing in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. My experiences of working at Victoria Fertility Centre (VFC) and Vancouver Island Counselling Centre for Immigrants and Refugees (VICCIR), as well as personal experiences as a first-generation immigrant have helped me build an intuitive sensitivity to my clients’ circumstances and needs. ###I can help with __Anxiety__ __Chronic Pain__ __Depression__ __Fertility and Women’s Health__ __Stress and Burnout__ __Self-esteem__ __Relationships and Relational Conflicts__ __Healing from Traumatic Experiences__ __Discrimination/Oppression__ __Life-transitions, Gender-transitions__
