Supriya Joshi MC RCC
Registered Clinical Counsellor
As a trained clinical counsellor and behavioural consultant, I hold a Master of Science in Developmental Psychopathology from Durham University, England, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Monash University, Australia. With a robust background and more than 10 years of experience working with culturally diverse populations from across the globe, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, tailored support that addresses the unique needs of each individual and couple.
In addition to my counselling work at Life Wise Counselling, I currently serve as a Clinical Coordinator at Fraser Health within the Developmental Disabilities Mental Health Team. In this role, I have gained valuable insights into the complexities faced by neurodiverse individuals and their families, and have developed an in-depth knowledge of the public health system and how to navigate it effectively. I possess the expertise to manage crisis situations and provide the necessary support in a calm and professional manner when required.
​
Central to my counselling approach is the belief that you are your life’s own expert, and my role is to empower you on your journey. Together, we will explore your unique strengths and insights, enabling you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. I provide guidance, support, and evidence-based tools to help you navigate challenges and achieve your goals, unlocking your full potential.
I utilize a strengths-based perspective, incorporating practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and other evidence-based therapeutic modalities. These tools assist clients in managing stress, regulating emotions, and finding solutions to life’s challenges. My practice is deeply trauma-informed, recognizing the significance of the systems and environments that influence your well-being, and ensuring a holistic approach to your care.
I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where all individuals feel seen, heard, and respected. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, interpersonal issues, or seeking personal or relational growth, I offer empathetic, individualized care to help you achieve balance and fulfillment in your life. I am passionate about working together to harness your strengths and create the positive changes you deserve.
i'm accepting new clients and looking forward to supporting you with your healing journey. Let's connect!
