Welcome! My name is Gurleen (she/her) and I am a Registered Social Worker. I strongly believe that we are all experts of our own lives. Nonetheless, this is a safe space to seek support and guidance in recognizing and using your strengths. As a culturally sensitive mental health therapist, I specialize in working with children, youth, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. My approach is welcoming, empathetic, and flexible, creating an environment where clients feel truly heard and understood. I am an active listener, attuned to each individual’s needs while balancing a collaborative and challenging approach to foster growth. My sessions are non-judgmental and inclusive, infused with warmth, humour, and a comforting presence.

My goal is to help minimize the stigma surrounding mental health while working with clients to explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and embrace their authentic selves—without fear of judgment. No matter where you’re at, I’m here to support you. Taking the first step toward therapy might feel a little scary, but hey, look at you—already being brave! If you’re ready to dive in, I’d love to be part of the journey. Your future self will probably send you a thank-you card.

A bit about me: Outside of my work as a therapist and mental health advocate, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, staying active (whether outdoors, at the gym, snowboarding, golfing, etc.), and seeking new experiences. Whether trying new foods or travelling, these opportunities allow me to immerse myself in diverse cultures.

I am a huge advocate for seeking help through challenging phases in our life. It is normal to experience complicated emotions and feel lost and disconnected sometimes. It is monumental to understand that struggling with mental health does not make us weak but makes us normal! If you have a mind- you have mental health, and we all struggle with mental and physical health at some point. I am a firm believer in the mind-body connection- our body ascertains and embodies the signs when we are struggling.

Therapy is a journey filled with stories, memories, moments of realization and self-discovery. As we embark on this journey, I will help you raise more awareness about yourself and build a better relationship with your truest self. After working in England for 4 years with adolescents and young adults. I went back to Pakistan, where I worked extensively with the same age group. I helped young individuals struggling with Addiction, Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, Depression, Eating Disorders and helped them explore their gender and sexuality.

Happenstance played a role in my decision to pursue counselling. However, I have always held strong opinions about taking care of one’s mental and emotional well-being.

My views were further strengthened post two significant life events, the first one being the opportunity to work abroad with adolescents from different cultural backgrounds undergoing significant life stressors. The second was my role as a counsellor providing therapy to women from marginalized communities struggling to overcome their mental health difficulties. Both these instances acted as a turning point in my professional and academic life – I had found my “calling.”

Additionally, one of my many interests includes working with the immigrant and refugee population. My view on therapy is a non-judgmental, client-centred, and collaborative approach specifically tailored to meet clients’ needs.

I speak English, Hindi/Urdu and Bengali
