Shivani Agarwal

About Shivani

I am a trauma-informed, Clinical Counsellor and Art Therapist, experienced in working with teens, youth and adults braving a range of mental health challenges. I offer Individual, Relationship, Group and Online Counselling. I hold an affirming, inclusive, non-pathologizing, culturally-safe, humility-focused and harm-reduction lens in my practice. I hold a Narrative Therapy approach and sometimes blend it with art therapy. I have found that this way, even the people with the most awkward hide-and-seek relationships with their mental health make consistent progress, despite the resistance. The best part is – you dont have to be an artist.

Areas of expertise: Anxiety – Social & Social Media Anxiety, Acculturation Stress (adjusting in a new culture), Overcoming “Creative Block” & burnout. Trauma – Grief & Loss, Abuse and/or assault. Identity Exploration – Developing understanding and acceptance of self, expression, gender, body image, personality, values, sexual orientation. Relationships and sexual concerns.

Accepting that you or your relationships need help is not always easy. Asking for help doesn�t mean you (or your relationships) are weak, it means that you want to remain strong. As tough as it might be, it reflects your wisdom of your own resiliency and when you need to nurture it. I urge you to connect with me so we can take one step at a time- together.
