Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in empowering women to navigate the unique challenges of womanhood—from societal expectations and roles to major life transitions—through an integrative, client-centered approach. We’ll use acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify your values, mindfulness-based techniques to cultivate self-compassion, and parts work to harmonize conflicting inner voices, while cognitive-behavioural and emotion-focused methods help you challenge unhelpful beliefs and process deep emotions. When necessary, I draw on spiritual/existential approaches to honour your inner wisdom. Together, we’ll build resilience, autonomy, and authentic self-expression in a safe, supportive space.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Therapy focuses on addressing topics related to women's health in the domains of physical, emotional, mental, professional and spiritual well-being. Therapy addresses reproductive health, pregnancy and post-partum mental health, relational distress, trauma, and body image issues. Healing can also focus on exploring traumatic experiences related to gender inequality, gender-based violence, adverse childhood experiences, peer rejection, and recovery from abuse and relational conflict. Counselling may address women's issues and be tailored to provide exploration of negative thoughts and beliefs that may fuel low self-esteem, empowering the client to challenge themselves on a journey to self-discovery and navigate through life transitions. A culturally responsive and socially just lens is used to help women navigate through unique life experiences and cultural expectations.

Tiffany Brown
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CCC
Gender-based violence and intersections of sexism, racism, and other oppression creates pain that we are forced to carry in our minds, our hearts, and our bodies. Being able to share our stories in safe, compassionate, supportive spaces can help us to gain clarity, dissolve shame, transform our stories, and support our empowerment. I am honoured to provide a safe, compassionate space. Together, in ways that centre your choice and at a pace that works for you, we will help you lay your story down and foster more clarity, honour your voice, restore self-connection and trust, and empowerment in your relationship with yourself, with others, and in your path forward.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCC
Traditionally research, healthcare and mental health care lacked focus on women's issues, but thankfully the times have changed on this! I support women or anyone identifying as a woman, providing the gender-affirming space and compassionate-care to explore the unique psychological, biological, and societal challenges that we face. My approaches in this work are deeply rooted in compassion, mindfulness, self-care and through a feminist-lens, recognizing that a woman's mental health is shaped by cultural expectations, systemic pressures, and hormonal transitions such as PMDD, perimenopause and menopause.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Women go through a unique set of challenges physically and emotionally and on top of that we battle with messages that communicate societal expectations from how our personality and body should be and look, to how we manage our societal and family roles and life transitions. I find this is a set up for negative thoughts and emotions that in turn get in the way of navigating these issues. I'd be happy to help you as I have many women find a path through.

Rosemary Laurel
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Emotional abuse, not feeling good enough, covert narcissistic abuse, love self-worth, questioning if what you experienced was actually abuse, trauma that you're not sure really "counts." Being a woman in this patriarchal world is challenging, and experiencing abuse that doesn't quite seem to fit into the examples we see in the media, or the definitions on the power and control wheel, is extra difficult because we question if there is actually anything wrong, or if we're just "making it up" or "being too sensitive."
I can hold space for you as you explore your experience to make sense of it and see clearly what's been going on.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
My stand on 'women's issues' has not really changed over the years. Originally these views were thought to be feminist. Very feminist. Now those exact same views are seen as more traditionalist! I have always believed in justice, respect and equality, for all human beings. For me, I am a human being first. Woman, second. Perhaps you are a human being first and a man second? I celebrate both! In my opinion each person is equal to every other and if we explore, understand and fill our needs - the same needs whatever our sex, colour or any other demographic - we will be happy. If we do not…. Fullstop. This belief is NVC or Non Violent (or Compassionate) Communication, organized by Dr Marshall Rosenberg in action. As women, our experience of the world is uniquely female. As men it is male. Man and woman stand at the two ends of this spectrum and in between are a thousand iterations of humanity waiting to be explored! I am wide open to hearing your story.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
