Bhavna Verma
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, CC-S, DCP, MSc
At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I became a therapist because I know what it's like to need to rebuild — not just once, but repeatedly, across displacement, across countries, across versions of myself I had to leave behind to survive what came next. That experience shapes almost everything about how I practice today.
I don't believe therapy should feel like something done to you. I see it as a genuine collaboration — you bring your lived experience, I bring my clinical training, and we figure things out together. With your permission, I'll sometimes offer a different way of seeing something: this is what I notice — what do you think? If you see it differently, that's completely fine. We explore from there. Nothing gets handed down as fact.
A lot of the people I work with have already done real work elsewhere. They know their diagnoses, they've learned the coping skills, they can explain their patterns fluently — and it still hurts. That's usually exactly where we begin.
Before I became a therapist, I spent over a decade in the legal field and in ADHD coaching, which means I bring a slightly different lens to trauma, family conflict, and neurodivergence than clinicians who've only trained in one world. I also work with two therapy dogs, Emma and Evee, who often make the room feel safer than words alone can.
If you're the person everyone else relies on, and you're quietly wondering who's supposed to hold you — I'd like to help with that.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Therapy, to me, is a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out or carry everything on your own. It is a place to pause, feel heard, understand what you’re experiencing, and gently make sense of what may have been difficult to express or process. My approach is trauma-informed and emotion-focused, recognizing that our emotions, relationships, past experiences, and cultural backgrounds all shape how we navigate life. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and move toward greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and meaningful change.

Maddie (Matin) Motamed
Registered Psychotherapist, Master's in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy
Seeking support is an act of strength. If you are experiencing anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, or are recovering from narcissistic abuse, you do not have to face it alone. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand emotional and relational patterns, and heal unresolved wounds through approaches such as inner child work and reparenting.
I specialize in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and high-conflict, emotionally abusive relationships. I support men, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as individuals who have been in narcissistic relationships, to engage in rebuilding self-trust, restoring boundaries, and recovering from chronic invalidation, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation. My work also focuses on trauma, personality dynamics, anxiety, mood disorders, and attachment wounds.
My therapeutic approach integrates CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational Therapy, ACT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches, offering a supportive space for those who often feel misunderstood or overlooked.
I also provide free virtual psychotherapy for refugees, asylum seekers, and protected persons covered under IFHP. Services are trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, supporting individuals impacted by war, displacement, adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, and resettlement stress. Psychotherapy is available in English and Farsi.
Your diagnosis or past experiences do not define you. Healing and growth are possible, and your story matters.

Nadia Malik
Registered Psychotherapist
Life can be challenging and sometimes everywhere we turn we find hardships, isolation, misunderstanding, and frustration with multiple obstacles in our path and no solutions in sight. I am available to help you work through this. I am here to truly listen with compassion, understand you, and support you. We can work together to find you relief from what you are experiencing.
In sessions with me you will experience warmth, empathy, a nonjudgmental and safe environment. In my client-centered approach I focus on building trust while showing you unconditional acceptance and care. We will collaborate together in partnership to increase insight, learn adaptive skills, and foster your growth to help you make healthy changes in your life.
My approach is eclectic as I fully appreciate your uniqueness, your lifestyle, history, culture, and worldview, and seek to tailor therapy to best suit your individuality.
Most importantly I want you to know that I care about your life, health, happiness, and overcoming your struggles.
So, reach out when you're ready and we will walk together on your mental health journey towards healing and wellness.
