Bio: Hi, I’m Avneet! I’m a Punjabi-speaking Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in the Lower Mainland, BC, offering compassionate counselling for youth, adults, couples, and families. I provide warm, culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy through a multicultural lens, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and understood.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, grief, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also specialize in fertility and reproductive mental health, supporting individuals and couples navigating infertility, IVF, pregnancy loss, family planning, and the emotional impact of fertility journeys, particularly within South Asian and Punjabi communities.

With over seven years of mental health experience in various organizations, I’ve gained a deeper level of empathy and cultural understanding, that I bring to every session. I offer counselling in both English and Punjabi and strive to help clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves throughout the therapeutic process.

If you’re looking for a culturally aware counsellor in BC who understands the nuances of Punjabi and South Asian experiences, book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re the right fit.
