Counselling support to strengthen emotional resilience and mental wellbeing
Abbotsford & South Surrey Counsellor
About Harj
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, holding a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I have over 18 years of experience working with children, youth, and families across the Lower Mainland. Originally born in England to parents who emigrated from India, I grew up in a large, supportive family that shaped my understanding of connection and community. After moving to Canada in the early 2000s, I began volunteering in youth custody, mentoring, and school programs, which sparked my passion for supporting others. My career has included roles as a Youth Care Worker, Inner-City Youth Worker, and Youth Counsellor, and a Clinical Counsellor for youth and families. I have developed a strong appreciation for understanding the meaning behind behaviours and supporting positive change.
A meaningful experience in my journey was volunteering at a child and youth shelter in Mumbai, India, where I witnessed the resilience and strength of young people facing significant challenges. This experience deepened my belief that peace, compassion, and happiness are influenced by our inner world. I value creating a space where individuals feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. I am passionate about supporting my community and helping individuals, couples and families work toward balance, self-awareness, and overall wellness.
