Raman Samra

MCP: AT, RCC

My goal is to create a safe, approachable space where you feel supported and empowered.

I am grounded in a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed perspective and believe in each person’s innate desire to find their own sense of clarity.

It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to reach out for help. I acknowledge the unique experiences that each person brings to the counselling process, and find it a privilege to be invited along your journey.
