Balraj Singh

Hello and Welcome!

Finding the right counsellor is not an easy task but it is an important one. The stressors of our everyday lives can become tough to handle thus I hope to share a collaborative path which will help you navigate obstacles while reaching your goals and working towards personal growth.

My name is Balraj Singh, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). After receiving my bachelor's in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, I obtained a Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle, in Vancouver.

My passion for mental health began when I started to realize the lack of resources available for members of my community and members of other marginalized communities. As I pursued my education, I worked on various mental health initiatives that focused on creating a safe space to converse about mental health while ending the stigma surrounding it.

• As I progress in my professional development, I am fortunate enough to work with clients from diverse backgrounds, genders, personalities, and mental health issues. In working with my clients, I can work on building my professional abilities through experiencing a wide range of obstacles presented by the client thus enabling me to develop a method of counselling that best fits my values of empathy, togetherness and understanding.
• The therapeutic modality used in counselling sessions is heavily based on a client's needs. Accordingly, my approach to counselling focuses on connecting with clients to understand the obstacles they are struggling with. Although my approach to counselling is developed through the use of cognitive-based therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), culturally sensitive therapy, solution-focused therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and motivational therapy, I recognize and emphasize creating a safe space while using a process which incorporates therapeutic modalities that best fit the client’s needs.

I look forward to meeting you and doing some great work together! 

I offer sessions in English, Punjabi, and Hindi.
