Hello and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Kiran Dosanjh. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and I want to support you on your journey towards wellness. Life is a journey of ups and downs and, sometimes we may feel stuck and hopeless. Sometimes we just need someone to listen, support, and guide us in life. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, stress, or the demands of everyday life, parenting, or grieving the loss of a loved one; I can be there to support you and help you navigate through this difficult time of your life.

Hello! I am passionate about the work I do with clients because I believe we all deserve to live our best lives, and to do so, we need to find our best selves. My desire to help others achieve healing and wellness is longstanding.

Do you struggle with loneliness, anxiety, self doubt, shame or anger when you try to say no. As a Master Counsellor and Supervisor I am here to invite every part of you to be present so you can live fully. My passion is to create a safe space for you to be heard and understood. You will experience the safety to process some of the roots of struggles in a non judgmental environment. I bring my years of experience with a successful practice and working through my own personal struggles with anxiety, grief, codependency and self esteem from a difficult past. I offer supervision to new and existing counsellors who want growth.

I try to help individuals find their inner worth and strengths. I believe that people can continue to learn, grow and change. It is important for you to feel comfortable with the therapist you decide to see. One of the things that I value the most within therapy is the importance of building an honest and genuine relationship. I try to meet people where they are at and offer services from a strengths-based and positive approach.

Are you feeling alone and overwhelmed? Unsure about what to do next? With empathy, I work to empower others to overcome challenges and identify greater personal meaning. Whether navigating through life transitions, managing mental health concerns, or seeking greater self-awareness, I create a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgement. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and an Accredited Music Therapist (MTA), bringing over 24 years of dedicated service to the therapy field.

I am a Registered Psychologist with a combined 25+ years of education and experience in psychotherapy. I have extensive experience helping with diverse concerns including anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and life transitions. I specialize in two areas: helping people overcome trauma/PTSD in individual therapy and improving relationships through couples therapy. I have a special interest in working with military veterans, first responders, public safety personnel, and health care professionals. I have a doctorate (Ph.D.) in Counselling Psychology and master’s degrees from Harvard University (Ed.M.) and UBC (M.A.).

I work with individuals experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, relational issues, and trauma-related stress. I specifically work with young adults, adults, and seniors. I use Person-Centered, Mindfulness-based, Narrative, Gestalt, EMDR and CBT approaches to help my clients to resolve challenging situations that are resulting in their mental health difficulties. I provide a safe space to explore emotional, mental, physical, and social aspects that clients are struggling with. I am aware that each client has their own unique healing process and I consider each client within the context of the culture and values.

Welcome to the counselling services at Celtic Place and Healing Place. Counselling provides a space and opportunity for you to explore thoughts and feelings, behaviours and relationships that may be troubling you or causing difficulty in your life. Counselling also offers a source of support in times of crisis and during difficult times such as you may be experiencing now. Some of the ways in which counselling can be beneficial is through bringing deeper personal insight, helping find better ways of coping with problems and it also can help you improve your relationships.

It is my goal to help, heal and empower clients through the challenges and uncertainties of life within a safe empathetic, culturally responsive, open, therapeutic alliance. My tailored approach is premised on making clients feel comfortable, validated, and understood and to help make sense of and resolve the anxieties and issues clients face so they can achieve their goals and live a peaceful and content life. My specialties include Anxiety, Depression, Self Esteem, Stress Management, Life Coaching, Mindfulness-Based Techniques, Health and Wellness, Couples, Separation/Divorce, Trauma, Eating Issues & Emotional Empowerment.

We all have a fundamental need to connect and to be heard. I believe sharing our struggles and pain is often the first step towards healing. I provide a compassionate and safe space to support clients as they navigate life transitions, immediate and ongoing concerns, and personal growth. You don't have to do it alone. Together we will explore ways to harness your courage for change and work collaboratively, using your strengths, insights and life experiences to fulfill your goals. I am an optimist and believe change is possible at any stage of life. I'm here to help.

As a trauma and violence-informed clinical counsellor, I am committed to helping you uncover the ways trauma and adversity have shaped your thoughts, feelings, and overall sense of self. My specialty lies in supporting youth and adults navigating various hurdles—be it anxiety, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, grief and loss (including traumatic bereavement and non-death losses), identity confusion, relational trauma, family estrangement, and shame-related concerns.

Life unavoidably throws obstacles in our direction that can threaten our security, challenge our relationships and endanger the achievements we deserve. I can help you and your family navigate through grief, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict and other life stressors. During difficult times constructive help from an open, relatable and skilled registered clinical counsellor (No. 16789) can make a world of a difference towards creating lasting change.

In the journey of grief, nurturing "continuing bonds" with departed loved ones holds profound significance, offering solace, comfort, and connection in their absence. If you've experienced profound loss (human or pet) and have been grieving for over a year, I offer a unique therapy intended to help reduce sadness and foster a deeper connection with your loved one. Understanding the importance of allowing your mind to adapt to grief's natural rhythm, is part of this process; so we typically wait a year or more post-loss before beginning therapy, honouring the organic flow of grief, and trusting in the brain's innate healing capacity.

Are you experiencing the despair, confusion, and guilt that sometimes follow a loss? This can be the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of a beloved pet, or the end of a significant relationship. I specialize in grief and loss. I bring over 30 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, and healing traumatic life events. I worked in the palliative care field as a social worker for over 15 years and as a result understand the health system challenges and the roller coaster of emotions that come with waiting for a loved one’s death. I will walk alongside you as you attempt to make sense of life after loss.

If we all could have the option to be supported and heard with our struggles, to be connected and cared for, perhaps our ability to move through them and towards our goals would be different. What is it you wish to shift, where would your life be right now? How can I help you get there? If you are a victim of crime you may be eligible for counselling through CVAP. I am an approved CVAP counsellor.

Stress levels, anxiety and depression, anger, grief/loss, feelings of distress and relationships are impacted daily. Counselling can help you to feel physically and emotionally better, you can find relief. By exploring a new understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and processing your experiences, healing happens. I provide a safe and judgment free environment to encourage clients to explore and process their past and current experiences. I integrate therapy styles, so clients can find healing and strength based on their own preferences. I offer EMDR, CBT, and Mindful based therapies.

Life is a journey with many ups and downs and sometimes we may feel like we are in a place where we are stuck and feel alone. Sometimes we may just need support in a big decision that we are facing. It can be an extremely difficult place to be when we feel vulnerable and need to reach out for help. Whether you are dealing with the overwhelming stressors and pressures of daily life, parenting or relationship challenges, grief or loss of someone important, or perhaps worried about your your child,I can be there to support and navigate you or your child through this part of your journey in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.
