Family Psychotherapy

Family therapy offers a collaborative environment to resolve conflicts and enhance communication within the family unit.

Therapy empowers families, fostering healthier dynamics and enhanced resilience in facing life's challenges.

Are you a parent struggling to support your child’s emotional well-being, a young person feeling lost and overwhelmed, or a woman searching for balance and meaning in your life? Navigating these challenges can feel isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone.

With over a decade of experience as a French Immersion teacher, I have worked closely with children, youth, and families, helping them overcome academic, social, and emotional struggles. I have seen firsthand how mental health impacts learning, relationships, and self-esteem, and I am deeply passionate about providing the support young people need to thrive. My years in the classroom were not just about teaching curriculum—they were about listening, guiding, and creating safe spaces where students could express themselves and feel understood.

Now, as a therapist-in-training and intern at Batool Psychotherapy & Wellness, I bring my expertise in child development, education, and emotional well-being into my therapeutic work. I am committed to helping children (12+) and adolescents navigate anxiety, self-doubt, school stress, and family challenges. Whether your child is struggling with emotional regulation, confidence, or relationships, I offer a compassionate and collaborative approach to help them develop the tools they need to succeed.

Beyond my work with youth, I also support women—especially mothers—who feel disconnected from themselves while balancing family, career, and personal growth. Many women I work with are navigating the emotional toll of motherhood, relationship transitions, and the search for their own identity beyond their roles.

As a bilingual (French-English) therapist-in-training, I integrate creative and expressive approaches, including my deep connection to music, to foster healing and self-discovery. I believe that every child, adolescent, and woman has the strength within them to overcome challenges, and I am here to provide the guidance and support needed to unlock that potential.

You deserve to feel whole, supported, and empowered. Let’s work together to bright out the best in your child—and yourself.

My experiences, from volunteering at hospitals and community programs to working in fast-paced professional settings, have equipped me with a well-rounded perspective on life’s challenges and the importance of empathy and understanding.

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles in life. Parenting, relationships, and life’s challenges.. it all can feel overwhelming. Some days, you feel like you’re holding everything together; other days, the weight of your child’s struggles, relationship stress, and personal responsibilities feels like too much. Whether you’re a parent navigating your child’s emotional outbursts and anxiety, a couple struggling with connection, or a family dealing with trauma and conflict, I see you. I understand because I’ve been there.

As a therapist and a single mother of three, I know firsthand how hard it is to manage life’s demands while wanting the best for your children, your relationships, and yourself. You want to be patient, present, and emotionally available, but when stress piles up, it’s easy to feel exhausted and disconnected. The truth is, you don’t have to go through this alone. Support is here.

With over 15 years in healthcare, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, parents, couples, and families, creating a compassionate and trauma-informed space where healing and growth can happen. I integrate play therapy, EMDR, art-based therapy, and creative modalities to help children express emotions, develop coping skills, and build resilience. But my work isn’t just about children—I also help parents navigate the complexities of raising a family, support couples in strengthening their relationships, and guide families through difficult transitions.

Relationships—whether with your children, partner, or family—require care, communication, and emotional safety. If you’re feeling disconnected, struggling with unresolved conflicts, or experiencing the strain of life’s transitions, therapy can help. I work with couples to rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional intimacy. I also support families in understanding one another, healing from past hurts, and creating healthier dynamics.

At our clinic, we offer flexible scheduling, including evening appointments, to make therapy accessible for children, adolescents, couples, and families. If you or your loved ones are struggling, you don’t have to face it alone.

Let’s take the next step together—reach out today to start your journey toward healing, connection, and lasting change.

As a passionate and empathetic psychotherapist, I bring a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach to therapy. For the last 6 years, I have been working with newcomers, supporting them in rebuilding their lives here in Canada. I have seen first hand that difficult endings can bring beautiful new beginnings.

Hello and Welcome! I am a South Asian woman with lived experience as an economic immigrant, having navigated life across three culturally distinct countries and five cities. This journey has given me a unique perspective on the challenges and benefits of such transitions and a deep appreciation of the ways that race, culture, and religion intersect and influence our lives and contribute to the struggles we face. Growing up in a place with limited mental health awareness and resources, I have developed a profound commitment to making well-being central to every community. Coming from a large family and being surrounded by children of all ages has naturally fostered my ability to connect with kids at various developmental stages.

With seven years of experience, I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families; helping them find the light within them. I strive to collaboratively and compassionately help my clients explore, discover, and embrace insight, resilience, and strengths they already possess to overcome life’s challenges, while healing and growing. I believe clients are the experts in themselves and take a non-expert, and non-judgmental stance to understand my clients’ lived experiences. I bring my individuality to my therapeutic work, and often use humor, silliness, fun and the power of ‘presence’ in the therapy room, allowing clients to feel safe and welcome to embrace their own true selves. I firmly believe that no one approach suits all clients and continuously work toward evolving techniques and tools to meet clients ‘where they are at’. I use a combination of Play Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. My work is informed by a neuroscience, attachment, and trauma lens and I believe a safe therapeutic relationship is the most important part of any healing journey. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care and decolonizing mental health.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO. My qualifications include a BA in Psychology from McGill University Canada, and an MSc in Developmental Psychology and Clinical Practice from University College London (UCL) and Anna Freud National Centre, UK. I have also received training in Play Therapy from the Canadian Association of Play Therapy and Sandplay Therapy from the Association of Sandplay Therapy, USA. My expertise includes depression and anxiety in children and teens, childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, school issues, and positive parenting. As a bilingual therapist, I offer services in English and Urdu.

As a counsellor, I truly believe that this journey is yours to navigate, and the right support in place can guide you to the best resources to help chart out your path. Therapy is your space to be a messy human. There will be times when I will push you, challenge you, and encourage you to stay the course, but we will do it side by side.

Although the work is not always comfortable (as change rarely is), you will find what you need to move forward or let go within a safer space of compassion and understanding. Together we craft a space that allows you to show up however you are and receive the support you need.

I specialize in supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and perinatal (postpartum) concerns. I use a holistic approach to counselling, which means that we will look at all areas of your life, search for your resources, and in combination with tools drawn from solution-focused, mindfulness-based, and narrative therapies we will work through it together.
