“My passion and skills meet at one place – and that’s counselling.” Hi, I’m Deshnaa — a warm, empathetic, and welcoming person who believes that every individual has the potential to thrive. Sometimes, we all go through phases that feel overwhelming or confusing, and I see counselling as a space where people can safely explore those moments and reconnect with themselves. I primarily love to work with adolescents and young adults, especially around relationship issues, emotional struggles, and self-exploration. My counselling style is person-centered, with a blend of existential and gestalt approaches, depending on what feels right for each person. I also use techniques from CBT, REBT, and solution-focused therapy when needed. Outside of sessions, I’m deeply inspired by nature and music as they ground me and often influence how I connect with the world and people around me. At the heart of my work is the belief that every person has the ability to reach their highest self reaching a place of contentment and fulfillment. I’m here with a moto to support by offering help to the people to help themselves. As a counsellor, I see myself as genuine, focused, and assertive- someone who listens deeply and responds with clarity and care. If you’re looking for a space to feel heard, understood and empowered, I would be honored to walk that path with you!
