Please note, Simran is beginning a gradual return from maternity leave and is currently accepting a limited number of clients.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're trying to balance relationships, family expectations, career demands, and your own emotional well-being. Whether you're navigating motherhood, postpartum changes, marital or relationship challenges, anxiety or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, having a space to feel heard and understood can make a meaningful difference.

As a South Asian woman of colour, I recognize how cultural values, traditions, and expectations can shape our experiences, relationships and the decisions we make. At times, balancing these expectations with our own needs can leave us feeling conflicted, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges while honouring your values, strengthening your relationships, and developing a greater sense of self.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and hold a Master of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I have completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy training (Levels 1 & 2) and draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to support individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, emotional distress, and relationship difficulties.

I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation in a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Whether you're working through a difficult season of life, adjusting to a new chapter, or wanting to better understand yourself and your relationships, I'm here to support you.

I offer counselling in both English and Punjabi and believe that meaningful change begins when you feel comfortable being yourself. You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes, taking that first step is enough to begin moving toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
