South Asian counselling in Canada
Counselling with a Registered Social Worker who understands South Asian family life, migration and the quiet pressures that come with building something new in Canada. You can speak in the language you think in.
Online across Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia. In-person counselling in Edmonton, Alberta. Sessions take place online, subject to applicable professional and regulatory requirements.
Care that does not need translating
So much of therapy is spent explaining context — what a joint family expects, why a marriage involves two families, why you cannot simply move out. Here, that context is already understood.
- Anxiety, low mood, depression and burnout
- Loneliness, isolation and culture shock after moving
- Family and intergenerational conflict
- Marriage, relationship and in-law pressures
- Parenting between two cultures
- Grief, loss and major life transitions
Who this is for
South Asian individuals, couples and families across Canada: students, work-permit holders, permanent residents, citizens, and parents or in-laws who have joined family here.
Affordable from the start
Sliding-scale counselling and reduced fees are available for low-income families and for people without counselling insurance coverage. Ask before your first session — it is a normal question.
We speak your language.

Not sure what kind of help you need?
That's completely okay. A social work consultation is a calm, no-pressure way to figure out what would actually help — and what resources already exist for you.
