Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Women often face unique emotional challenges related to relationships, caregiving roles, life transitions, identity, and personal expectations. These experiences can create stress, emotional exhaustion, and a sense of imbalance. I offer a compassionate and supportive space where women can speak openly and feel understood without judgment.
My approach focuses on emotional wellbeing, self-worth, boundary setting, and personal empowerment. Through gentle counselling and reflective support, women are guided toward greater clarity, confidence, and balance while honoring their individual life journeys.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Being a woman can involve navigating complex expectations, responsibilities, and relationships while trying to maintain a strong sense of your own identity. Perhaps you're balancing career ambitions with family responsibilities, struggling to establish healthy boundaries, experiencing relationship difficulties, or feeling pressure to meet everyone else's needs before your own. You may find yourself questioning your worth, feeling emotionally exhausted, or wondering when you'll finally have space to focus on what matters most to you.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for women navigating emotional challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and significant life changes. My experience in community mental health, family support, and psychoeducation has strengthened my understanding of how personal experiences, social expectations, and family relationships can influence women's mental health and well-being.
My approach combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles to create a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences openly, without judgment or pressure to meet someone else's expectations.
I recognize that women's experiences are diverse and can be shaped by cultural identity, family traditions, gender-related expectations, relationships, and personal circumstances. Whether you're navigating relationship conflict, struggling with people-pleasing, adjusting to changes in family roles, or working toward greater independence, your individual experiences and values will guide our work together.
My professional development in Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) has also strengthened my awareness of how gender and intersecting aspects of identity can influence personal experiences, opportunities, and well-being.
Together, we can explore ways to strengthen your confidence, establish healthier boundaries, improve communication, develop emotional resilience, and reconnect with your individual needs, strengths, and aspirations.
You deserve relationships where your voice is valued, choices that reflect your authentic self, and opportunities to prioritize your own well-being without guilt.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in building greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and confidence as you navigate life's challenges on your own terms.

Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
Thankfully we have a fuller picture now. Women hold systemic and cultural roles that may or may not "feel right, fair, or ok" to hold. Sometimes women can be left questioning themselves and working on "being a better wife, mother, daughter, caregiver, etc. when in fact they need permission to look at things from a broader perspective, find their voice, feel freedom, and then choose who they want to be from that place. Layered into all of this is our bodies, our rage, and expectations culture places on how we can move and express ourselves. I can listen, I can support, and help you tap into your own wisdom.

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.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Being a woman often means carrying more than anyone realizes—the emotional load, family responsibilities, caregiving, cultural expectations, and the pressure to keep everything together while appearing capable. It can also mean dealing with harsh self-talk, imposter syndrome, being treated differently in ways that are difficult to name, and feeling pulled between what society expects of you and what you actually want for yourself. You probably do not even need to hear America Ferrera’s monologue in Barbie to know exactly what I am talking about. I can help you find "you" within all these roles and expectations so that you define for yourself your own sets of expectations you want to live by, the values you want to uphold, and the goals or achievements you decide to pursue. You get to figure out and choose the weights that are worth lifting - and the weights that were never yours to carry.

I support women navigating self-worth, relationships, boundaries, anxiety, life transitions, identity, and the many expectations placed upon us.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am a cis gender woman myself and have worked mostly with women in my private practice. There are certain issues that do affect us personally- societal pressures and oppression history, hormones, expectations from ourselves and others that keep us stuck.

Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
It is no wonder many women are struggling today with the weight society places on us to be superheroes. The expectations placed on women can be disheartening, not to mention the expectations we place on ourselves. Masculine power is still very much rewarded in our world, but we have lost sight of tapping into our Feminine Power. It is time to empower ourselves to be in our natural polarity. Women face many issues specific to us. I can guide you through relationship challenges, self-esteem, domestic violence, abuse, depression, anxiety, separation, divorce, patriarchy, fears, hormone changes, infertility, and eating disorders. Please feel free to contact me for a free 20-minute consultation today. I offer online sessions in Canada, BC. or in-person sessions in Langley or White Rock, BC.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
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.
