Shay Galamiton
Counsellor/Therapist, RPC, MPCC
My mission is to empower individuals to reach their full potential by supporting their personal growth and well-being. Using evidence-based and strengths-based counselling approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful goals. I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can develop practical tools to manage stress, navigate emotional and behavioural concerns, and create positive, lasting changes that enhance their quality of life.
I am fortunate enough to say that I had lived and experienced two cultures. Living and learning two cultures and two different languages has been a journey for me, but a journey I wouldn’t trade for anything. I am culturally sensitive and acknowledges and respects the difference between different cultural backgrounds and expressions. I love celebrating and empowering everyone I meet, recognizing and valuing their individuality because I believe that embracing multiculturalism gives us a safe place to reflect and challenge ourselves to see the world from a different and unique standpoint.
Throughout our work together, I will take a collaborative and personalized approach, drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique needs. This may include psychoeducation, practical tools, and connection to community resources, all designed to support and empower you on your healing journey.

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I want you to know me beyond my credentials. I grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, and limiting beliefs that tainted my relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize my own worth and seek help. It was a journey of healing for me too, as I confronted my insecurities and found connection and purpose and my dedication in serving others. Now, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I’m committed to guiding you with care and compassion. Therapy with me consists of transpersonal and somatic techniques focusing on your growth, emotional experiences and connecting your body and mind. Together we will explore your inner emotional experiences to help you repair the pain you have experienced and support you in feeling seen, heard and ultimately thrive, honouring your pace and vulnerabilities every step of the way.
I offer personalized sessions to address your unique needs, fostering insight and resilience. In a safe and supportive space, I provide active listening and empathy to build trust. Equipping you with tools for stress management, communication, and self-esteem, we navigate challenges together. Taking the first step toward therapy can be transformative; I invite you to schedule a FREE introductory consultation. Let’s unlock your potential and create positive change, empowering you to embrace the life you deserve.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center is a practice built on the belief that healing takes time, safety, and depth. We are not a quick-fix model. We integrate neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and faith for those who desire it, so that change is not just behavioural but transformational. What sets us apart is our commitment to long-term relational work, nervous system stabilization, and whole-person care. We look at the patterns beneath the symptoms, the story beneath the survival, and we create a space where individuals, couples, and families can slow down enough to heal from the inside out. We are steady, clinically grounded, and rooted in the understanding that sustainable change happens when people feel safe enough to be fully seen.

19 Years Experience
Online in Abbotsford, BC British Columbia
Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley city bordering Washington state with a character shaped by its strong Mennonite and evangelical Christian heritage, a large Punjabi Sikh community that has made it home to one of Canada's most prominent South Asian populations outside the Vancouver core, and a rapidly growing suburban economy that has attracted families priced out of Metro Vancouver. University of the Fraser Valley offers psychology and counselling programs that contribute to the local mental health workforce, and Fraser Health provides public mental health services to the region. Mental health stigma has historically been significant in some of Abbotsford's religious and cultural communities, and faith-integrated therapy and culturally competent care—particularly for South Asian clients—are important considerations in the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family conflict, cultural identity, anxiety, economic stress, and the adjustment challenges of a community navigating the tension between traditional roots and rapid modern growth.
