My name is Navin Sahjpaul, an Indo-Canadian South Asian man who resides in Vancouver, BC. My journey thus far has led me to pursuing a career path in being of service in this world. I am deeply passionate about well-being, mental health, community building, and healing, a believer in the idea that the deepest of wounds can become the greatest of teachers. My own journey of navigating the nature of pain and suffering, and experiencing the healing that can occur when we dedicate time and energy unto tending to our wounds, is a core motivator for why I have chosen this line of work

Life is a long journey embedded with moments of twists and turns. We inevitably encounter challenges and unexpected difficulties. Sometimes, we may find it hard to move forward on our own. Loss of our loved ones, change of environment, experiences of trauma, damaged relationships, deteriorating of health, career uncertainties...all might make you feel overwhelmed by anxiety and powerlessness. You might lack courage and strength to continue your journey. When you wrestle with moments of tough times, let me walk with you. My experiences and expertise can help you regain the power and resilience to thrive through the journey.

My client focus is working with neurodivergent people with conditions such as ADHD, Autism and Learning Disabilities. Although these differences can be an asset in many situations, individuals may have difficulty navigating a world not necessarily designed for them. Feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, and low self esteem may linger from years of feeling misunderstood or being under-equipped in social, school or work settings. Exploring your strengths, obstacles and goals allow you to take charge of your mental health and work with your difference rather than against it.

I go by he/him/his and I work with folks who are in the marginalized group(s) (gay/bi/queer, person of colour... etc.) who experienced discrimination and/or sexual and physical assault who wants to have more options to respond and understand themselves. Folks who feel that they oftentimes react out of proportion to the situation and experienced challenges to trust and build favourable relationships with others. Folks who want to gain some perspectives on their own strengths and resilience. My client demographic so far has only been with men or masculine identifying individuals.

If you’re overwhelmed or stuck, or you’ve lost something precious, I can help. If your child is struggling with feelings, or behaviour, or learning, I can help with that, too. My strength lies in helping you identify and celebrate your own unique strengths. I'm certified by the CCPA, and for years I've worked with people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I offer my clients empathy, respect, curiosity, and honesty.

I provide a warm and quiet place for you to uncover the wisdom in your life. The struggles we face are opportunities to discover new horizons of meaning, perspectives that give way to purpose. I believe in building trust and rapport in the therapeutic relationship, so that each client can claim their healing and forge their paths forward. I work with those who struggle with climate anxiety and grief, bereavement and loss, stress and anxiety, life transitions and self-esteem issues. I also work with couples who struggle to change negative patterns in their relationship.

Your symptoms are purpose-driven - and by leaning into your your mind, body and soul, relational and work challenges, you can live into a deeper, more genuine life. By leaning into life's symptoms with fierce gentleness - whether that be anxiety, depression, cancer, angst, relationship issues, bankruptcy, etc - you will come to understand and awaken the life you are meant to be living. Because what comes to us belongs to us, we need to befriend these resistances in our lives. Then, quite naturally, the joy and aliveness of our true nature surfaces, our relationships begin to organically thrive and our meaningful work is accessed

I offer a blend of innovative, evidence-based, person-centred, best practice mental health therapy and coaching that is designed and tailored for people who think outside the box.

If you are looking for actionable results each session. Take that bold step, reach out. I can help.

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.

As a tradesperson who's walked the path of recovery and reinvention, I understand facing challenges that impact every aspect of our lives and relationships.

We all need support sometimes. Mental health counselling can be a therapeutic outlet to process difficult emotions, to reconnect with what brings fulfilment to our lives, and to shift our perspective towards self-compassion and kindness towards ourselves. I am excited to connect with individuals and couples seeking counselling services and aim to be adaptive to the needs of all those I work to support. My experience in providing mental health services focuses around managing anxiety and stress, supporting couples in building their connection together, exploring difficulties with depression and mood concerns, and supporting clients

For 30+ years I have been helping people struggling with relationships, as well as depression, anxiety, and meaning of life issues. My primary interest has always been in understanding what it is in the work we do together that actually makes a difference in helping the people I am working with, coupled with a clear recognition of the fundamental importance of the quality of our relationship together. Ultimately, I am not just trying to help people feel better, but to actually become better, recognizable both by them, and the people who matter in their lives. In the final analysis, you already have the answers. I help you find those

Do you feel alone and misunderstood by others? Do you feel anxious when interacting with people and try to avoid social engagements due to your anxiety? Are you carrying a sense of guilt or shame for no particular reason? Perhaps you have the sense that you must always perform at your best because others are judging you and that you must always prove your worth to others. My team of experienced Counsellors will help make sense of your experiences, uncover your innate strengths, and provide you with strategies to leverage your strengths so that you can experience a more fulfilling and meaningful connection with the world around you.

I have been working in the field of mental health since 1990 and I am deeply committed to supporting people to heal, grow, explore who they are, and live their best life. I offer both traditional 'talk' therapies alongside expressive arts therapy and know from personal experience how well these two approaches work to help people improve their mood, thoughts, sense of self, and quality of life, as well as helping them to recover from trauma, addictions, and eating disorders.

At the heart of this therapeutic practice is the idea that problems lie between you and others as opposed to within you. How do you relate to your loved ones, strangers, and the world at large? Questions such as these will help you understand not only what you could change in your life, but also how to change it. The cultivation of truth occurs through building lasting trust: This is the core of working effectively towards solutions and change together. A heart of non-judgment, encouragement, empowerment, and tools are provided so that you can work through trauma from the past as well as practice new ways of living in the world.

Let's face it, finding the right counsellor fit can be intimidating. Having to share vulnerably with a stranger is not something that most people find comfortable and yet the benefits can be transformative when the environment is right. The approach I take as a counsellor is often described as a mix of casual and easy-going with a matching of investigative curiosity and problem-solving. The goal of my work is to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves, their situation, and their environment so that they can best make an informed decision on how to move forward and ultimately improve their quality of life and agency.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I use a client-centred, integrative approach to address the therapeutic goals of clients. No one should be defined by their diagnoses, and rather than placing emphasis on what is not working, I collaborate with clients to determine what actions can be taken to improve on their circumstances. All individuals exist along their own continuum of mental health, and with adequate supports and a focus on holistic well-being, every client can be nurtured towards growth and a healthier sense of self.

Welcome, I'm Michael. I'm a Registered Social Worker and Therapist, with over a decade of experience in the field of mental health. If you are experiencing anxiety, trauma, or OCD, I can support you in finding relief. I grew up in Vancouver, where I struggled with anxiety and depression throughout adolescence and early adulthood.

Through those experiences, I learned that there is not one miracle cure, but an array of skills and practices we can harness to cultivate our health and wellbeing.
