I am a Clinical Counsellor (RPC-C #4390). I work with individuals online and in-person at our Downtown Vancouver location. As a counsellor, my goal is to help you learn to accept and embrace all parts of yourself, so you can improve your confidence and feel better in your relationships, at work, and in all areas of life. When we meet you will find that I create a warm environment in which my clients feel free to express what’s on their minds and hearts – perhaps for the first time.

My approach to counselling includes a combination of talk therapy, parts work, and somatic therapy. Since we are all unique, no two sessions look the same, but my approach is always trauma-informed. I also incorporate elements of mindfulness and self-compassion, which I find to be helpful practices for slowing down and connecting with the present moment.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Providing virtual sessions to couples and individuals.

As a dedicated and compassionate professional, I take great pride in empowering individuals to discover their true potential and cultivate a profound sense of self-love and self-acceptance. I firmly believe that each person possesses the innate wisdom to navigate life’s challenges, and that by tuning into their inner selves, they can unlock the answers they seek. My approach is centered around fostering a therapeutic relationship built on transparency, comfort, safety, and trust. I strive to create a sanctuary where you feel emboldened to be your authentic self, free from fear of judgment or rejection. Within this space, I invite you to share your life experiences, emotions, and struggles, knowing that you will be met with empathy, compassion, and understanding.

Hello! My name is Amal (she/her) and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor providing individual counselling sessions, both online and in-person. My approach to counselling is rooted in my belief that we all hold incredible strengths and resilience that have allowed us to cope with life’s challenges. My work focuses on helping you resource your strengths to explore your experiences with compassion and bravery. I hope to learn more about what healing and growth mean to you, and work together to co-create a path towards your goals.

My work integrates trauma-informed and anti-oppressive practices with evidence-based modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy. These are a lot of words that really just mean: I invite and support clients in being present with their experiences (thoughts, emotions, sensations etc.), getting curious about their inner worlds, and taking actions that are aligned with what they value most. We look at our experiences in context, considering the larger social, cultural and systemic factors that impact us and our communities. Together, we can explore the messages we might have heard or learned from these systems, as well as the ways they might be showing up. Through curiosity and compassion, I hope to co-create a space where you feel empowered to live in alignment with what matters most to you, and to reconnect with yourself and your communities.

The nature of life’s experiences can be exceptionally fulfilling and at the same time provoke incredible challenges that have the ability to evoke immense struggles in our lives. We may not be able to control certain aspects of life but we do have control over how we address, engage with, and continue to move forward given these challenges.

My belief is that therapy is a place of healing, learning, and growth. My approaches are based upon supporting the needs and goals of each client who courageously takes the initiative to reach out for support. My aim is to create a safe, trusting space in therapy facilitated through non-judgmental and non-pathologizing approaches. As such, my approaches are client-centered and individualized to the uniqueness of each person.

I provide avenues to explore these difficulties and empower clients through strengthening their personal resources and resiliency, so they are better equipped to work through adversities in life, and ultimately experience greater life fulfillment.

I am an advocate of exploring and applying holistic approaches and integrating mindfulness throughout the therapeutic process by offering a diverse set of techniques and interventions to best fit the needs of clients. I believe the roots of mindfulness help us to connect and understand ourselves and others; providing a base from which to ground oneself in the adversities that life challenges us with.
