Who's your Counsellor?
My name is Ola.  I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors under #15785. I am also a member of EMDR Canada and Europe, and Satir Institute of the Pacific.
I hold a Master degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in New Brunswick. I also hold two other Master degrees in Human Rights, Psychology and Education. I have long experience in psychotherapy and social work locally and internationally.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and many other mental health issues and psychological stress.

I also utilize Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to improve my clients’ ability to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and learn to be mindful and interact effectively with others. I incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples and families to enhance their relationships and attachment style.
​
I am passionate about Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to identify and heal painful emotions such as anger and shame and to restore mental balance and harmony. This is an evidence-based approach for treating depression, anxiety, phobias, panic, and physical health conditions.

Equally fascinating is the Somatic Sensorimotor Therapy, which is body-based talk therapy, integrating the latest neuroscience research to transform traumatic memories into strengths and resources. I utilize these modalities to resolve developmental trauma, and abuse. With this wide range of training, I tailor therapy to better support my clients’ uniqueness.

 I am also a clinical supervisor; I provide my team of clinical counsellors and paraprofessionals with support and guidance to better understand the multilayered issues of their clients and to ensure their own ongoing progress and professional development.

Strengths:

• Therapeutic alliance: Positive and nurturing
• Trauma: Neurobiology-oriented holistic approach
• Adults and teens: Resolve childhood and adulthood trauma and attachment issues
• Couples: Emotional and sexual Intimacy and infidelity
• Family Conflict Resolution: Parenting, Co-parenting, preservation and reunification
• Grief and Loss
• Release of longstanding subconscious blocks
• Identity Crisis and dissonance
• Self Esteem

I am extremely passionate about this work and honoured to hold hope for my clients while providing them with evidence-based modalities on their journey to healing, flourishing and thriving.
I provide counselling in English and Arabic.

I am approved to work with ICBC and Crime Victims clients
