Who We Are

Hi, I’m Sukhjit, and I’m deeply passionate about supporting individuals on their mental health journey. My decision to become a counsellor comes from both personal and lived experiences within my family and community, where I witnessed firsthand the impact of mental health challenges — as well as the stigma and barriers that often prevent people from seeking help.

I understand how cultural, social, and systemic factors can make accessing care difficult, and I am committed to creating a space where these barriers are acknowledged and addressed. My goal is to provide counselling that is accessible, compassionate, and non-judgmental, recognizing the courage it takes to reach out for support.

Through my work, I hope to guide clients toward understanding, healing, and self-empowerment. Whether navigating anxiety, grief, identity challenges, or life transitions, I aim to help you feel heard, validated, and supported, while honouring your unique experiences and resilience.

I believe that therapy is not about “fixing” a person, but about walking alongside them — helping them navigate challenges, rediscover their strength, and embrace growth in a safe and inclusive environment.
