Accepting new clients
We'll begin our counselling journey by building a trusting and safe relationship where I'll accompany you every step of the way towards healing and achieving your goals and hopes. My goal is for you to feel heard, seen, understood and accepted. While you lead the way at your own pace and discover your needs, I'll provide guidance and support.
In my work with individuals, I most often use the therapeutic method, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). This approach helps to change negative thought patterns and behaviours, with a focus on addressing and healing from past difficult experiences or trauma. This approach aims to understand how the past events affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviours today, and helps develop coping strategies to manage trauma-related symptoms like anxiety or stress.
When I work with couples, I use the Gottman Method to guide you through relationship challenges. I will help you to uncover the points of disconnection, to see the bids for closeness that your partner makes, and to rediscover connection.
I provide counselling to a diverse range of clients, supporting each person in finding clarity, growth and healing.
Samudyatha’s Training & Education
I moved to Vancouver to pursue my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology after discovering my passion for the field while working in India for an Employee Assistance Program. I am fortunate to hold two degrees: a Master’s degree in Health Psychology from the University of Hyderabad, India, and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Adler University in Vancouver, BC. I am also a registered provider for the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP), the Metis Nation of BC (MNBC) and the SPCA Cruelty Investigatory Team.
