Deema Elkaswani MC CCC

Practice information:

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and I work with adult clients (age 19+) from various backgrounds navigate issues related to mental health, personal concerns (ex. self-esteem, motivation, life transitions) as well as interpersonal concerns - ex. friendships and relationships. Clients and colleagues would describe me as inviting, collaborative, conversational, non-judgemental and easy to talk to.

My hope is that we build a steady therapeutic relationship where you can find comfort in being vulnerable.

I practice from a Trauma Informed, Person Centred Therapy and Intersectional Feminist approach. I will weave in other approaches when useful, ex. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness. I believe in working in collaboration with you towards your therapeutic goals. We all have our own battles, some feel easier to deal with than others but you shouldn’t have to deal with them on your own.

I believe the relationship you have with your counsellor should be filled with trust, reliability, comfort and warmth. I work alongside you to create a safe space for you to simply be yourself. I understand that being vulnerable can be scary and I view it as a beautiful and honest experience to be shared in a safe space.

Outside of the therapy space, I love trying new hobbies - tennis is my new favourite thing, I could be reading, beading or finding my next favourite dinner recipe! Otherwise, I’m probably dreaming of my next cup of coffee or rewatching friends :)
