Counselling Philosophy: If you are struggling with trauma, PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s stresses, my person-centered and narrative-based approaches offer a humanistic and holistic perspective. I create a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental environment to support you. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with
existential and logotherapy, can help you find meaning and purpose in your life by using your values and beliefs to cope with challenges. With extensive experience in healthcare, I have a deeper understanding of chronic and life-threatening illnesses, which enables me to support you through grief and loss. As a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner, I can help facilitate the integration of new coping resources for healing negative memories, traumas, PTSD, dissociation, and stressful experiences. Life can be difficult and traumatic at times, but therapy and healing are possible for you now in three languages: English, French, and Arabic.
The regular fee for counselling is $180.00 per session.
