Meet Emel

Hi, I’m Emel, and I am a Social Service Worker (SSW) student passionate about supporting individuals and families in need.

With a background in community outreach and group facilitation, I aim to create a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their concerns and work toward their goals.

I believe in a holistic approach, combining empathy, compassion, and evidence-based strategies to empower my clients.

My Approach

Working with me is an open and collaborative process. I focus on creating a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and respected.

My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, ensuring that each person’s unique needs and goals are prioritized.

In consultation, clients can expect a compassionate and professional approach. We’ll discuss their current challenges, goals, and create a plan to work through them together.

I strive to make every session a safe and welcoming environment.

I communicate clearly and empathetically, with a focus on active listening. I strive to make sure clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and provide regular feedback to ensure they’re comfortable with our progress.

What Should I Expect in a Consultation?

  • We start by exploring what brought you to therapy and what you’re wanting to work on and explore.
    By gaining an idea of topics and areas you’d like to focus on, we’re able to match you with a therapist to best suit your needs!

  • We’ll ask about big life changes and updates, explore a bit about your day to day to understand more of who you are.

    Finding a therapist that you really connect with is the most important part of therapy, so don’t be afraid to show us who you are so we can match you with a therapist who fits!

  • We’ll ask about availability, how you’d like to be in sessions, and any other information about what you’re looking for from therapy to match you with the best therapist!

    No idea what you want or need? No worries at all! We’ll figure it out together.

  • We’ll finish off our consultation by exploring any questions you may have regarding any part of the therapeutic process!
