Miss Harjeet Thiara

Counselor

“I am Registered Professional Counsellor-C who works with people who are navigating life transitions, looking for anxiety and stress relief and many other individual challenges. I believe that therapy can be inviting, warm, and purposefully challenging. My aim is to create a safe environment for you to explore emotions”

About Me

I offer a warm, inviting space where you can explore life's transitions and individual challenges. If you're seeking relief from anxiety or stress, I guide you to explore emotions in a safe environment. My approach is purposefully challenging, helping you make sense of difficult experiences. This collaborative style is ideal for those ready to navigate change and find new ways forward.

Approach

Sessions feel held and purposeful: I balance gentle curiosity with targeted challenges so you can notice patterns, try small experiments, and make choices that matter. I work with adolescents and adults in Vancouver and online, offering English and Punjabi options, pacing sessions to what feels manageable while checking in between meetings with brief coaching or reflective tasks. For those navigating relationships, stress, career decisions, or neurodiversity assessments, I blend clarity-seeking questions with values-focused practice. This approach tends to suit people ready to engage, learn, and act on what matters next.
