ABOUT

Navigating life’s challenges in isolation can be exhausting. You shouldn't have to do this alone. In our work, you’ll be listened to with respect and care, and supported in ways that help you grow and also protect your values. Together we’ll develop a strong therapeutic relationship that will help explore what’s holding you back, and open up practical paths toward relief and sustainable change. 

Hello, my name is Husain. I am a strength-based Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have extensive experience working in Public Health Clinics (Vancouver) + Private Practice + Historical Front-line support roles. I am an active Protestor/Activist in my community. 

I work with folks who navigate complex experiences in Anxiety, Depression, Trauma (PTSD & Complex PTSD) and Addictions. Some of my clients experience suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or even physical brain injuries (TBI or ABI). I also support individuals recovering from assault or injury through the provincial ICBC and CVAP programs.

I integrate EMDR (advanced trainings), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Polyvagal (somatic) techniques to help reconnect your body and mind. The focus is on building safety, confidence and relief as a whole system; not just individual parts. My overall approach is deeply trauma-rooted, relational, and anti-oppressive.

In our work together, you can expect deep collaboration, compassion & a process that encourages growth, insight, and resilience. Most of my clients notice meaningful change within the first few sessions. They report feeling more grounded, self-aware, and able to respond to life’s challenges with increased clarity and strength.
