Supriya's
Warm video welcome
Hi, I’m Supriya — a psychotherapist offering a supportive space to work through anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or feeling stuck. I take a gentle, collaborative approach that honours your pace and lived experience. I also have training in ADHD and support with focus, emotional regulation, and navigating life’s ups and downs. You don’t have to figure it all out alone — let’s take the next step together.
Background
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns at a pace that feels right. My approach blends holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive care, with a focus on emotional wellness, boundaries, and self-understanding. I work with individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, self-worth, and family dynamics—especially those from collectivistic cultures who may struggle with expectations, identity, or being the “strong one.” If you’re looking for someone who sees the whole person—not just the symptoms—I’d be honoured to support you on your healing journey.
Your therapeutic experience with me
Sitting in session together often feels like taking a deep breath of release after carrying so much. It’s a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported without judgment or pressure. I ensure you feel safe enough to let down the masks we carry and show up as you are. My style is warm, collaborative, and curious. I’m here to help you slow down, tune in, and make sense of what’s beneath the surface. Whether we’re unpacking cultural expectations, navigating ADHD, or exploring suppressed emotions, I move at your pace while offering insight, structure, and tools. My hope is that you leave each session feeling lighter, more connected to yourself, and reminded that healing is possible.

Therapeutic approaches
These are the approaches at the heart of my work, and I use them often because they help create meaningful change:
Person-centered Therapy
At the core of my work is a belief that you are the expert of your own life. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where your experiences are deeply heard and respected. This approach allows us to move at your pace, with empathy, warmth, and unconditional positive regard guiding our work together.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I acknowledge the influence of culture, family, and community in shaping who we are. I offer therapy that honours your cultural values, lived experiences, and the complexities that come with navigating two worlds. Together, we explore identity, belonging, and healing in a way that feels respectful and affirming.
Strength-based Approach
Rather than focusing only on what’s “wrong,” we look at what’s strong. I help you recognize your inner strengths, resilience, and personal wisdom—especially in spaces where those qualities may have been overlooked or dismissed. This approach supports empowerment and confidence-building.
Trauma-informed Therapy
I hold space gently, with deep respect for the ways your nervous system may be protecting you. Trauma-informed care means we move with safety and consent, and I help you understand how past experiences may be impacting your present without forcing you to revisit what you’re not ready for.
I also draw on other evidence based approaches that can gently support you when they align with what you need:
Mindfulness
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)
Focused populations and cultural backgrounds
These are the communities and cultural backgrounds I focus on, and I bring a sincere commitment to supporting you in a way that feels respectful and genuine:
