Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Autism is experienced differently by everyone, and finding support that genuinely understands your individual needs can make a meaningful difference. Whether you or your child are navigating sensory sensitivities, communication differences, emotional regulation challenges, social relationships, or difficulty adjusting to change, you deserve a supportive environment where your experiences are understood and respected.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I bring extensive experience supporting autistic children and individuals with diverse developmental and behavioural needs. My background includes working as a Behaviour Interventionist, providing individualized support in educational settings, and collaborating with families, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of the importance of recognizing individual strengths, adapting support strategies, and respecting different ways of experiencing the world.
My counselling approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. Rather than viewing autism as something that needs to be corrected, I focus on understanding each person's unique experiences, challenges, and goals. Together, we can explore emotional regulation, anxiety, self-esteem, communication, self-advocacy, and strategies for navigating everyday situations with greater confidence.
I also recognize the important role that family relationships, cultural expectations, and support systems can play in an autistic person's well-being. Whether you're seeking counselling for yourself or support for your child, my goal is to create a collaborative space where individual differences are respected and meaningful growth can occur.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to help you or your loved one build confidence, strengthen connections, and feel supported in navigating life's challenges.
