I'm Chandni (pronounced Chan-duh-nee). I have a Master of Arts, Counselling Psychology (MACP), I am registered as a Counselling Therapist (CT) with the College of Counselling Therapy PEI, and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I believe that the person is the expert of their own lives, so I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy. This means that you hold the answers, it just takes a bit of conversation to unearth those answers.

I am also an EMDR trained therapist and find this modality to be incredibly beneficial for a wide range of mental health concerns and wellness goals, especially when it comes to the treatment of trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD. I am also trained in Level 1 of the Gottman Method, which is a highly researched couples counselling method. Although my foundation as a Counselling Therapist is person-centered, I have found evidence-based modalities highly useful in my work. I have found evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, CBT, and the Gottman Method help clients measure and identify their progress in their therapeutic journey, which lends to a sense of accomplishment and self-efficacy. Other modalities and interventions that I utilize in my therapy practice include:

• EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)

• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

• Solutions focused brief therapy

• Motivational interviewing

• Narrative therapy

• Gestalt

• Gottman Method

Before stepping into the field of mental health, I had a long and successful career in corporate business. After encountering burn out a few times, and after addressing my own mental health struggles and challenges, I decided to pursue a career in counselling therapy to support the betterment of others, to feel fulfilled in the process, and to contribute to a legacy of healing for the various communities that I am part of.
