Tavleen Arora, MA
Registered Clinical Counsellor
I'm a therapist who goes beyond surface-level conversations, I help you create lasting transformation. My clients describe me as both warm and direct: someone who makes them feel safe, deeply understood, and motivated to grow. Whether you're navigating relationships, healing old wounds, or simply wanting to feel more confident and at peace, I'm here to guide you toward real change.
Welcome, I’m so glad you found your way here. I'm not the kind of therapist who just nods and takes notes. I'm the kind who sits with you, fully, presently, and without judgment — as you untangle the parts of your story that feel heavy, confusing, or tender. My work is guided by heart, intuition, and a deep reverence for the complexity of being human.
I bring more than professional training into the therapy room. I bring realness, soul, and a lived understanding that healing isn’t linear — it’s sacred, messy, brave, and sometimes even life changing in the most unexpected ways.
Who am I, beyond the therapy chair? I’m a nature-lover at heart. Oceans ground me, forests reset me, and long hikes remind me what it means to come back home to myself and animals have always been part of my healing, they remind me how to be present, listen deeply, and love unconditionally. I speak multiple languages including English, Spanish, and Punjabi, and I find joy in simple things: deep conversations, stargazing, spontaneous laughter, and a warm cup of something comforting.
My multicultural background allows me to meet people where they are — culturally, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether you’re processing trauma, navigating change, seeking clarity, or just feeling stuck, I offer a space that feels safe, alive, and tailored to you.

"Life Wise Counselling provided an outstanding experience. Not only was my counsellor phenomenal, I was able to change the way I approached counselling though the easy and calm fashion in which my counselor approached their practice. My counsellor helped me understand the true cause/root of my anxiety and worked with me to improve my well-being and symptoms."
