ABOUT
My name is Husain and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I invite you to take a look at my profile as it will give you a good sense of my approach and style. Clients who work with me are managing either feeling stuck and/or depleted; living "a life of quiet desperation".
Here are a few reasons you may wish to work with me: Depression or other mood related disorders; Chronic anxiety/stress; Self-harm; Trauma experiences (current or historical); Suicidal thoughts; Brain injuries; Relationship disconnect; Anger, grief, shame or other emotional pressures. I am registered to work with both ICBC and CVAP.
I am skilled at understanding how your past experiences in life (recent or historical) may be influencing/"feeding" the struggles you have in the present. I deeply value respect and co-collaboration. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic techniques (Polyvagal) to support this journey.
As a counsellor my goal is to help you experience safety and confidence. Our work together will increase your overall autonomy; so you can move forward towards your own goals. I will adapt my approach to suit your specific need. I will challenge you and encourage you. My clients notice a change in a few sessions.
