About Us

Do any of these feelings resonate with you?

​

  • Carrying the weight of trauma, and not knowing how to process it?

  • Struggling to navigate cultural, racial, or personal challenges?

  • Feeling anxious and trapped in patterns that hold you back?

  • Having a hard time setting boundaries with others?

  • Stressed trying to find a healthy work/life balance?

  • Living with depression

  • Experiencing relationship struggles that leave you feeling stuck?

​​​​​​If you relate to any of these, you are not alone. I've been there. Before I founded Blissful Balance Counselling, I found it difficult to find a therapist who understood my cultural background and that I just...clicked with. Through careful selection, I have cultivated a team of therapists who possess not only the knowledge and training but also the lived experiences necessary to effectively serve clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. At Blissful Balance Counselling, we are committed to support you in navigating life's challenges, guiding you toward greater resilience and restoring balance and bliss in your life.
