Social Constructionist Therapy
Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Very little about human experience surprises me anymore — yet people continue to move and inspire me.
I am deeply open-minded, curious, and grounded in a strong sense of relational and community responsibility. My work is shaped by decades of clinical practice and by a lived understanding of complexity, resilience, and care under pressure. I bring steadiness, intuition, and a thoughtful sense of humour into the therapeutic space, creating an environment where people can feel safe enough to speak honestly and begin to heal.
I am also attentive to the spiritual, cultural, and meaning-making dimensions of people's lives, including experiences of spiritual or religious harm, loss of community, and the search to rebuild identity after trauma. Therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating space for integration, dignity, safety, and renewed choice.
Professionally, I have worked within provincial mental health and welfare systems and continue to support charitable and community-based initiatives focused on intimate partner violence. I have also been involved in a federally funded research project examining coercive control and the challenges faced by culturally insular communities, work that informs my clinical and supervisory practice.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, relational and responsive to each person's inner world and culture. I draw primarily from psychodynamic and relational traditions, alongside somatic and trauma-informed approaches, adapting therapy to the pace, needs and lived experience of the individual. This includes support for individuals affected by intimate partner violence, spiritual abuse, and trauma within religious or culturally insular communities.

Sherine Chacko
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Hi, I’m Sherine Chacko, a Registered Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional, relational, and life challenges.
I often work with clients who look like they are managing on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, emotional reactivity, lack of motivation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself. You may be seeking coping strategies, but also wanting to understand yourself more deeply.
My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative. I do not see my role as doing the work for you, but as walking alongside you as you develop insight, confidence, emotional clarity, and practical tools for your life.
I also believe that no person exists in isolation. Your relationships, culture, values, faith, family history, and life experiences all matter. In therapy, we will consider the full context of who you are — not just your symptoms.
