Alia Bharwani Counselling

Welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by. I’d love to discuss the ways I can offer you support.

I offer a diverse set of skills and knowledge. From my background in kinesiology and public health to my experience with different counselling modalities, I am confident I can work with you to find what you need. This is not me telling you what you need though. I strive to make you and I partner on your journey to well-being.

I strive to cultivate a safe and judgement-free space where clients feel able to express themselves; and explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Sometimes exploring these things can be scary. We will go slow and work at a pace that is best for you.

I work with clients of diverse backgrounds and offer gender-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming, and culturally-sensitive approaches to counselling. I am also honoured to be a member of the Skipping Stone Trans Affirming Network. Some of the areas I work in are ADHD and autism; chronic pain and chronic illness; workplace and academic stress; pre and postpartum; pregnancy and child loss; and experiences of trauma including PTSD and CPTSD.

I am also a trained Yoga Nidra instructor. If you wish to discuss the possibility of doing a Yoga Nidra session with me, please contact me.

I look forward to connecting with you and learning and exploring together. I encourage you to consider doing a complementary first session with me. This will provide an opportunity for us to see whether we will be a good fit for each other.

Please feel free to connect with me directly if you have any questions.
