Obstacles in life may cause us to breakdown; however, when we are ready, this can also allow us to break open, and help us move toward a place of healing and wisdom. Whether you are feeling stuck for reasons beyond your knowing or have encountered unexpected life circumstances, know that you are not alone. To be human, is to experience challenges at various stages of our lives. My goal is to help you navigate these stages and work through the very thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are keeping you from living freely.

As an RCC, my practice is focused on helping individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck and powerless, and desire to move forward on their healing journey with a positive mindset. With warmth, empathy, and concern, I work with adults and youth with mental health concerns stemming from childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and relational trauma, and women who are victims of gender-based violence. I provide counselling to address the impact of trauma that manifests as self-esteem issues, addictions, BPD, family issues, grief and loss, and bicultural identity crises, acculturative stress, and life transitions.

After 50 years in counselling I remain more intrigued than ever by opportunities to support positive growth. At key junctures in life's journey we are confronted with painful experiences that can create the required urgency for needed change. By carefully focusing on a client's unique story I extend an invitation to collaboratively clarify goals and set new directions. I draw from a wide variety of therapeutic approaches but also the life experience gained by being a father of 5, experiencing a diverse and enriching career path, as well as overcoming my own share of adversity along the way.

The largest comfort that counselling can bring is space for connection. Connection back to yourself, your relationships and the world around you. The counselling experience is tailored to your specific needs in efforts to achieve health, balance and happiness. You set the pace at which you feel most comfortable with, whether that's jumping into the deep end right away and tackling the hard stuff or gently wading in the shallow end. It's your journey & your timeline.

I have lived, studied and worked in the Arab world, South and Southeast Asia before settling in Vancouver, BC in 2011. A good friend and mentor describes me as a honey bee, a nahlah that has travelled from place to place in search of sweetness and wisdom. Urdu is my first language, and I have picked up English and some Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew along the way. I am a hanif believer who knows the divine as the light of the heavens and the earth and dares to have a critical-appreciative relationship with tradition.

Have you felt as if life runs on repeat? You are trying and doing your best, but it feels as if nothing is changing or working. Your emotional battery is running low, and things you once found joy in now feel distant. You hear all about the “should,” the “could,” and, of course, the “don’ts.” It all seems to feel daunting, and you’re unsure where to begin. At As You Are Counselling (AYOUA), we understand. AYOUA was created for individuals who do not fit into a certain mold determined by society, culture, or expectation.

The emotions you're feeling—fear, anxiety, depression, hurt, grief, sadness—are not random; they are a natural response to your current circumstances. Acknowledging these feelings is crucial, and doing so in a safe space is the first step towards change. I offer such a space: secure, non-judgmental, and supportive.

Waitlist for new clients
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.

Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment. I believe that is what we may need in our lives, and I am able to serve you in this area. For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

Clients tell me I’m calm, curious, and compassionate—a patient, friendly collaborator who helps them find insight, connection, and direction. I'm a good fit with people who sometimes feel a bit “different” or want something a bit different in life. Like most, I am somewhat wounded myself (and relatively comfortable with it), and that helps me connect with people experiencing loneliness, anxiety, depression, feelings of day-to-day boredom and restlessness, and (perhaps especially) existential angst.
