COUNSELLOR

Ashna Tiwari

I am a Registered Social Worker and certified Emotionally Focused Therapist with a Master's degree in Social Work. My therapeutic approach blends Emotionally Focused Therapy, informed by attachment theory, with motivational interviewing, strength-based practices, and mindful meditative techniques. My primary goal is to create a welcoming and safe space where individuals can explore their hopes for the future and achieve their full potential. I strive to empower clients to navigate a challenging world, fostering a secure environment for self-discovery. As a cisgender woman of colour, my lived experience offers me a deep understanding of the unique challenges individuals face when navigating a dominant culture. I am dedicated to supporting those who experience barriers and marginalization due to their racial or queer identity. I also acknowledge the significant impact of past experiences on current relationships, both with oneself and with others. My practice focuses on understanding and processing past traumas to help individuals cultivate a more positive inner world.
