You may look capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck within.
Perhaps you know something needs to shift, but you do not yet have the words for it. Counselling can offer room to pause, make sense of what you are carrying, and understand how your experiences are shaping the present without treating you as a problem to be fixed.
What we can explore
Support for the places where life feels tender, tangled, or uncertain.
Trauma & the past
Gently exploring experiences that continue to live in your body, beliefs, and relationships.
Identity & belonging
Making space for cultural identity, queerness, neurodiversity, migration, and becoming.
Relationships & boundaries
Noticing relational patterns and building more honest, connected ways of relating.
Grief & transitions
Moving alongside loss, change, endings, and the uncertainty of a new chapter.
Integration counselling
Reflecting on meaningful experiences from body-based care, healing practices, or moments of insight.
How we work together
Curiosity before judgment. Connection before change.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. Our work is collaborative and paced with care, drawing from approaches that help us listen to both your story and your nervous system.
Person-centred
Your needs, values, and lived experience guide the work.
IFS-informed

Existential & narrative

Gunjan Kundhal
MPCC-Provisional (CPCA)
I offer counselling grounded in warmth, cultural humility, curiosity, and respect for the wisdom already within you.
As a queer South Asian immigrant, I understand that healing does not happen outside of culture, identity, family, community, and systems. I welcome the complexity of who you are and aim to create a space where you do not have to edit yourself to belong.
My work is especially informed by the experiences of LGBTQ+ people, neurodivergent adults, immigrants, racialized communities, and people working in high-pressure or service-based environments.
Before we begin
Questions you may be carrying.
How do I know if we are a good fit?
The consultation is a low-pressure place to share what brings you to counselling, ask questions, and notice how it feels to speak together. There is no obligation to continue.
What happens in a first session?
We begin by getting to know what is happening in your life, what support would feel meaningful, and what pace feels manageable. You do not need to arrive with a polished story or know exactly where to begin.
Do you offer sliding-scale sessions?
A limited number of reduced-fee spaces may be available. You are welcome to ask during your consultation.
What is integration counselling?
Integration counselling offers space to reflect on insights or emotions arising through body-based care, personal healing practices, major transitions, or other meaningful experiences, and to explore how they may be carried into everyday life.
When you feel ready
You do not have to carry it all alone.
The first step is simply a conversation. There is no pressure and no need to have the right words.
