Counselling for Adults and Couples

Kuljit uses a holistic approach to counselling. With her background in Biology and Psychology, Kuljit takes a comprehensive look at the different ways in which her clients are impacted by the challenges they are experiencing. She focuses on the physical and emotional symptoms a client is experiencing to help develop a deeper understanding of who they are and how to best support them. Kuljit’s primary area of focus is in supporting clients with depression, anxiety, and complex trauma.

Counselling for Children and Teens

Kuljit has worked with children and teens for the majority of her career. Her work has primarily focused on helping her clients develop social skills, self-regulation strategies, and conquering their anxiety and depression. She has extensive training and expertise in supporting children and young adults diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).  Kuljit uses a variety of techniques including art therapy, play therapy, and the social-thinking curriculum to support her younger clients. Kuljit’s primary goal is to help her younger clients develop their ability to socialize, self-regulate, express their emotions, and build confidence in their everyday life.

Personal Life

Kuljit’s devotion to healing stems from her personal journey of working to integrate mind and body wellness in her life: She believes that being attuned in all areas of life is necessary to maintain healthy relationships and pursue life goals. This commitment to personal wellness is especially important as Kuljit is a mother to two young children. She believes that one has to be committed to their own self-care in order to care for those around them. In her free time, Kuljit enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and exploring the outdoors.
