Get to know Barbara
I started my journey in counselling as a career counsellor working with newcomers building a life in Canada, students transitioning to the world of work and mature workers trying to regain their self-confidence and reinvent their careers. I then expanded my scope to include psychotherapy as challenges related to career and work are often connected to experiences in one’s personal life. I work with people to understand how events in their past could be holding them back and reinvent their self image, the way they engage with others opening up new possibilities.
I am an integrative therapist using a variety of methods tailored to your needs and therapy goals. I help people cope with anxiety and depression and I am trained in Exposure Response Prevention therapy to help people manage symptoms of OCD. I have helped people navigate their feelings and thoughts during difficult situations such as divorces, death of loved one and difficult relationships. I also work with people at a turning point in their career or students who are not sure about their future career to find the path that will be most fulfilling.
I believe that everyone can understand and solve their own problems, but sometimes we get so overwhelmed we forget to draw on our own strengths. While life can sometimes bring us down, we all have it in us not only to survive but to flourish as a result of these obstacles. I look forward to working with you.

Hi, my name’s Sukaina and I’m a registered psychotherapist. As a mental health and addiction specialist, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals who, just like you and I, can feel stuck, frustrated and sometimes hopeless. Approaching treatment with the understanding of human psychology, social behaviour, thoughts and feelings has allowed me to support individuals to feel seen. Developing a safe relationship with a professional will allow you to explore the parts of yourself and your relationships that can often feel too overwhelming to face alone.
