Multicultural Therapy
Transversality Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors
At Transversality Counselling, we believe therapy is not about fixing what’s broken but about making room for what’s human.
We work from a trauma-informed, relational, feminist, and decolonial lens — always holding in mind that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line. It moves across languages, histories, relationships, and identities.
We offer individual, couples, and group counselling, as well as clinical supervision.
Our work is guided by compassion, cultural awareness, and respect for each person’s pace. Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, identity, or change, we meet you where you are — in English or Spanish — with care and curiosity.

Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
I offer warm, attuned, and inclusive online therapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the complexities of identity, family, and work. My approach integrates Gestalt, IFS (parts work), and somatic strategies to support nervous system regulation and deeper self-understanding. I hold space for the full range of your experience—without judgment—and tailor our work to what feels most supportive and effective for you. Healing, to me, is not just personal—it’s also a step toward creating a more compassionate world.

Fatima Mohammad, Avec Counselling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work with individuals, couples, and business professionals who are often managing high expectations, demanding careers, and important relationships, while also trying to stay connected to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward greater clarity and alignment, while not losing sight of the goals.
Clients often come to me for support with relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, burnout, identity questions, and intercultural dynamics. I bring a relational and collaborative approach, meaning we work together in a way that feels thoughtful, honest, and tailored to your needs- not one-size-fits-all.
At the heart of my work is a belief that meaningful change happens when people feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. I aim to offer that kind of space, where you can explore what’s not working, strengthen what matters most, and build relationships, with yourself and others that feel more connected and fulfilling.

Nadia Zamzul
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P., LL.M
Frustrated by "talk therapy"? Then, you might not just be looking for a therapist—you’re looking for someone who can help you shift. Let's make sense of what’s happening deeply beneath the surface. I bring a combination of clinical depth, relational attunement, and real-world expertise to my work. With advanced training in relational psychotherapy, somatic approaches, and parts work, I help clients move beyond insight and into meaningful, lasting change.
I specialize in working with high-functioning individuals who feel stuck in patterns around self-worth, relationships, and emotional regulation. My approach is both grounded and intuitive—I don’t just listen, I track what’s happening in your nervous system, your patterns, and your relationships in real time. This allows me to gently challenge what isn’t working while creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and deeply human.

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.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we believe that healing is not something a therapist does to a client, but something that emerges from the quality of the relationship between them. Grounded in scientific research, counselling theory, and clinical experience, our approach helps people access their own innate capacity for change, whether they are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, or the weight of emotions that have long felt out of control. We serve individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life circumstances, and we are committed to creating a space where every person who walks through our doors feels met with genuine empathy, cultural competence, and the kind of non-judgmental presence that makes honest conversation possible. Because we know that no single practitioner can serve all people, our diverse group practice exists to ensure that whoever you are and whatever you are carrying, there is someone here who is the right fit for you.

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.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Driven by compassion and empathy, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals in healing from the impact of mental stress and distressing life experiences through achieving personal growth and enhancing their well-being as they navigate through emotional difficulties and life challenges. I hold the perspective that human suffering arises when we have difficulty reconciling the difference between our reality and our expectations, which leads to disconnection from ourselves in the form of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. I am here to walk alongside you on your path, whether you are navigating through stressful circumstances, dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic experience, or in need of compassion to feel heard or validated.
I truly believe that each individual is the expert on their life and holds the potential to heal through their inner strength and wisdom to improve the quality of their life. With validation, compassion, and trust in the therapeutic relationship, I can help individuals heal from past trauma and support them in moving through emotional complexities. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for our sessions where we can connect and chat about your concerns.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
