About Anika

Whether you are dealing with a mental health challenge, a life challenge, or just need someone to listen, counselling can help. I am a counsellor with over 7 years’ experience working with diverse populations. My educational background includes a Masters in Psychology and Post Graduate Diplomas in HIV/AIDS Counselling and Guidance and Counselling. I have had the opportunity to work with people from different cultures, communities, races, age groups, and sexual orientations.

My aim is to build a non-judgmental, trustworthy and empathetic relationship with my clients. I value developing a therapeutic alliance in which clients feel safe and comfortable. I believe it matters what we believe, how our bodies hold onto trauma and/or past experiences and how it affects our decision making, problem solving and self-value and how our past experiences shape our attitudes and behaviors. I integrate a mind-body approach in supporting clients to make meaningful changes in their lives. My practice involves Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Energy Tapping (releasing negative energy from the body). Alongside, I am constantly working on gaining insights into several other modalities of psychotherapy that can help me better help my clients.

tPTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder)
tLoss and grief
tIntimate relationship issues
tInterpersonal relationship issues
tIssues/challenges faced by LGBTQIA2S (People of Colour)
tDepression
tAnxiety

If you are feeling stuck or lonely in life, you can reach out to me, I am here to help. Together we can devise a plan that would help you move towards a more fulfilling and enriching life.

A quote that summarizes my understanding of counselling is that “There is no guidebook available for this life- if you are stuck, let’s think of solutions together.
