Hello! I’m Marlo, a dedicated therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of their relationships. My approach centers on understanding and addressing the underlying issues that often contribute to relationship difficulties. Specifically, I work to help you identify and heal attachment wounds from your family of origin, which can significantly influence current relationship dynamics. In our sessions, we'll explore how these early experiences shape your needs and communication patterns. My goal is to help you gain clarity about your individual needs while also understanding you partner's.

We all need help at some point in our lives. When we notice that anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts or unhelpful patterns of behaviour are interfering with who we are and how we want to live, it may be time to reach out for support.

The theory examines how our relationship with our caregivers has left an impact on our unconscious and what that means in our present day behaviour and interaction with others.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I was a practicing physician for 15 years. My Clinical counselling services include Individual, Couples, Family, Addictions, and Immigration issues. I have counselled and motivated individuals to recognize and understand personal needs, problems, alternatives and goals, using a combination of practical problem solving skills and an empathic approach to counselling, successfully helping overcome severe depressions or anxieties. Your therapy sessions with me will be a journey to discover who you are, what you want and what has gotten in the way of achieving your goals. We will work towards improving your daily life. https://gabrielpatrichcounselling.com/

A good theraeutic relationship that nourishes us is based on chemistry and professional skills.
Mental health is of key importance in our lives, when someone realizes this and wants to work towards improving their own: half of the heavy lifting is done. I am here to help with the other half, until you can do it all and more on your own. Sometimes, we just need a little support, someone to hear us and give us perspective; to encourage us as we face the challenges in our lives. An interesting life has many challenges for us to grow as we deal with them: we endure, we persist, we overcome and we celebrate.

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.

My interest is to help you gain deeper understanding and connection with your emotional, cognitive, and behavioural patterns by offering you a safe, non-judgemental, compassionate relationship of support.
I appreciate you showing the interest and courage to find a counsellor. Finding someone with whom you can be seen, heard, and accepted for all of who you are can be challenging. In truth, life can be challenging and leaves many of us looking for support in dealing with transitions, relationships, our sense of identity, as well as discovering what matters most to us. I believe that every person has incredible value, and despite challenges and pain, has the potential for healing, growth, and change.

Interpersonal relationship difficulties are often rooted in how we are raised, and can help you shift how your emotions respond to those events by taking you into the body’s physiological response.
If you are struggling with a loss of direction or purpose, and want to rejuvenate life with renewed purpose, facing death or about to lose a loved one, I will work with you to find peace and broader meanings so you can carry on with joy and loving memories. I believe that everyone has the potential to grow beyond their current limits regardless of what they are struggling with i.e. addiction, relationship, life-transitions, or meaninglessness etc.

I have experience and passion for working with 2S-LGBTQIA+ folks and supporting people with a wide variety of relationship structures, values, and practices.
Are you struggling with overwhelm, indecision, pain, or powerlessness? Are there parts of you that have been silenced, shamed, or oppressed that need a space to be heard? I work with adults of all ages to help make sense of their experiences, process past trauma, feel awake to the current moment, and create a path toward renewal and growth. I believe that we all deserve to develop our sense of self and our sense of meaning in a compassionate and non-judgmental space. Together, we can give voice to the many parts of your internal and relational world and start to build towards the changes you want to see in your life.

I am looking forward to getting to know you and building a safe therapeutic relationship.
Are you tired of feeling invisible and powerless? Are you tired of hurting, feeling depressed, and hopeless and that you don't matter? Do you long to feel safe and connected? As a result of healing my own childhood trauma from sexual abuse, I now specialise in supporting people, in a trauma informed way, as they navigate the confusion of living with adversities, and trauma. I am passionate about guiding people to a place of living instead of merely surviving. The truth is that our adversities actually become windows to learning how to live magnificently. We are not what was done to us!
