Individual Counselling
Individual counselling provides a safe, supportive space to explore personal challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions. Working one-on-one with a registered clinical counsellor, you’ll gain tools and strategies to better understand your thoughts and emotions, build resilience, and improve your overall well-being.
Youth Counselling
Youth counselling is designed to support children and teens as they navigate the unique challenges of growing up. Our counsellors help with issues such as school stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and family dynamics. Sessions give young people a safe and confidential space to express themselves while learning healthy coping skills for the future.
ICBC Counselling
If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident, ICBC counselling sessions can support your recovery by addressing the emotional and psychological impacts, such as anxiety, stress, or trauma. Our clinic is part of the ICBC Recovery Program, which means eligible patients can access counselling sessions with no out-of-pocket cost, helping you heal both physically and emotionally.

Meet Your Counsellor
Summy Pajouh
Summy is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Counselling Art Therapist with a Master of
Counselling Psychology: Art Therapy from Adler University. She brings extensive experience supporting
individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of therapeutic services, including individual and
relationship counselling, ICBC counselling, perinatal mental health support, and group art therapy. She
also works with children and adolescents, integrating art therapy interventions and assessments to help
them express and process their experiences.
Summy’s approach is shaped not only by her professional training but also by her own lived experience. As an immigrant, she has navigated the pain of separation from loved ones and the challenges of adjusting to a new country. These personal journeys have deepened her understanding of the systemic
and relational challenges many people face.
At the heart of her practice is a commitment to self-compassion, empowerment, relational support,
and the resilience that emerges from vulnerability. Summy believes that every individual has inner
strengths waiting to be discovered, and she works collaboratively with clients to create a safe,
compassionate, and empowering space for healing and growth.
