Bhavna Purswani (She/Her)

Counselor/Therapist, MA, Counsellor
I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can navigate life’s challenges and feel truly understood. As a neurodivergent, queer affirming, Third Culture Kid who has lived in seven cities across three continents, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the world in ways that help me connect deeply with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This means I’m here to meet you where you are, without judgment or the need to overexplain your identity, values, or passions. I understand how important it is to feel truly seen and valued. Whether you’re sharing something deeply personal or a niche interest, you’ll find a counsellor who truly gets it - and gets you. If you’re working through loss, exploring your identity and purpose, or striving for balance in your relationships, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you in a way that feels safer, affirming, and empowering. If this sounds like the support you need, contact me to schedule a consultation.

Client Focus

Session Format: Individual sessions.

Treatment Approach

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
  • Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
