Community Focused Treatment Approach

---

The situations that life presents us with can sometimes be daunting.  Life transitions such as a loss of a job, the breakdown of a relationship, or moving to a new country can present a whole list of challenges ....or opportunities. It all depends on how we think about the situations we find ourselves in. 

Our attention can fixate on our circumstances; the unfortunate series of events that might have led you to seek counselling. Our distressing circumstances are attention grabbing BUT it is our thoughts about those situations that also contribute to our present reality.  The same situation can be experienced by two people who have completely different perspectives on the matter. 

It is not always situations that determine the outcome; rather our feelings and thoughts contribute significantly to it. Through our counselling sessions, we will emphasize on the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. We work collectively to identify thoughts that contribute to the challenges we experience and work on creating distance between negative thoughts and our relationship to them while also replacing them with positive experiences that lead to authentic expression of feelings and behaviour!  

I am here to offer my support by taking on a trauma informed, culturally sensitive approach where counselling sessions are designed to assist individuals navigate the daily stressors of life while incorporating tools to build resilience and coping strategies. I have experience working with youth and adults from various ethnic backgrounds who might be struggling with:

• Anger Management
• Symptoms of Anxiety
• Symptoms of Depression
• Life Transitions
• Intercultural Conflicts
• Inter-generational Conflicts

I am fluent in English, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali.
