As a therapist, Ghazala strongly believes that each of us has the potential to live our best lives. We can do this when we learn how to take control of our situation by keeping ourselves calm and collected in stressful moments, when we are able to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns, and when we become ready to change behaviours that perpetuate negative cycles.

We know that life can be very challenging at times and that the obstacles can seem overwhelming when facing them on your own. The therapists at Spacious Mind Counselling have been through their own trials and tribulations and have benefited from their own personal therapy during difficult times. We know that you are the expert in your life and that with the right conditions you can overcome the obstacles and challenges. We aim to provide a safe, non judgemental space where you can begin to understand the challenges for what they are and get back to living a rich and meaning full life. We do this by listening, asking questions and then creating goals with you that are in line with your values. Sometimes skills and tools are needed and other times processing traumas and unresolved emotions are needed. We will always follow your lead and provide insight and knowledge when you need it during sessions.

As my client/s you are an individual, couple, or family who want(s) to work collaboratively towards broadly defined health and wellness goals (such as emotional and interpersonal wellness) aimed at supporting a sustained improved quality of life in all aspects. Your goals may be short-term, crisis-generated (with an eye toward resolution), or aimed at sustained long-term improvements in relationships, self-regard, life management, cessation of self-destructive behaviours or self-destructive self-talk. My ideal client is simply someone who wants to improve the quality of their life in a way that is meaningful to them.

Still today, there can be a great deal of negative stigma associated with mental health struggles and that can make it difficult for people to seek therapy or know where to start. I was inspired by a close friend years ago to seek therapy even though I was so reluctant. I chose counselling as a profession because I want to provide the same safe, non-judgmental relationship for my clients that helped me to break down that stigma in my own therapy experience. My ideal client is ready to do the work to gain a better understanding of their struggles and move forward with better tools for managing them.

I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.
