Bio: My name is Husain and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Clients who work with me describe themselves as feeling stuck or depleted; others have described it as “treading water” or, “suffering in silence”. Here are a few reasons to work with me: Depression or mood related disorders; Chronic anxiety/stress; Unmanaged Anger, Grief, Shame or other emotional pain; Self-harm; Trauma experiences (current or historical); Suicidal thoughts + Relationship concerns. I have special skills to work with Brain + Spinal Cord injury populations & First-Responder groups like: EMTs, Nurses and Police. I am registered to work with ICBC and CVAP.
I am skilled at understanding how your past experiences in life (recent or historical) may be influencing/”feeding” the struggles you have in the present. I deeply value respect and co-collaboration. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic techniques (Polyvagal) to support your health journey.
My goal, as a counsellor, is to help you experience safety, confidence and increase your overall autonomy. I hope to move you forward and become ‘un-stuck’. I adapt my approach to suit your specific needs; and since my sessions are both challenging and encouraging, my clients notice a change within the first few sessions.
