“Happiness is not something ready made, it comes from your own actions.”
~ Dalai Lama
Welcome to Powerful Mind Counselling
You deserve to be happy. Your mind is the most important tool to understand how your emotions, thoughts and events around you affect your perception of your world. We want to walk alongside you, listen to your story, understand your struggles and ultimately empower you so that you can better manage the challenges that life throws at you.
Does this sound too good to be true?
You may have tried reading some self-help books, given meditation a shot, spent hours talking to a friend and feeling like it got nowhere or perhaps you have been so worried that you couldn’t focus on much… you feel lost… you feel stuck…
Is true happiness really achievable? Yes!
We are not just “talk therapy”. We take a deep dive into the issue bringing you to therapy and then we arm you with solid skills and strategies so that you can live your life to the fullest and experience the happiness you deserve.
Looking for help? Send us a message.
Here are some concrete ways we can help:
Individual Counselling
Do you feel your emotions have gone into overdrive and you are drowning in a myriad of feelings? You may be asking yourself, what the heck I am to do with these feelings that have taken on a life of their own? We help you reflect on your emotional experiences and process your emotions, even those uncomfortable and ugly ones. We help you tackle your area of concern including but not limited to anxiety/stress, depression, loneliness, anger, life transitions or relationships so that you can feel more secure, safe and confident in all aspects of your life.
Couples Therapy
Are you experiencing a strained relationship with your partner? Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle of fighting and recurring patterns? We help you break free from unhealthy patterns by giving you the tools to effectively communicate, increase closeness and friendship behaviors, address conflict & problem-solve and build a life of shared meaning together so that you can have a more satisfying and loving relationship with your loved one.
Affair Recovery
Did you just catch your partner and find out that they are having an affair? If so, you are likely feeling a wide range of emotions including disbelief, anger, sadness, confusion and devastation. We will help you break down the unimaginable overwhelm you are facing by helping you obtain clarity through compassion, understanding and the necessary breakdown of next steps into more manageable pieces.
LGBTQ+ Counselling
Would you like to come out to others but are worried about experiencing rejection from your family / friends? Are you struggling with same-sex relationship issues? As we are aware of the unique experiences and challenges of the LGBTQ+ communities, we will help you navigate deeply personal issues so that you can live your best life.
Sex Therapy
Do you or your partner have low sexual desire/drive? Are you dissatisfied with your sex life but have difficulty communicating your sexual needs to your partner? As we understand that sexual issues can have a huge negative impact on the quality of your relationships, we will arm you with concrete tools to help you have a happy and healthy sex life.
Parenting Skills Counselling
Do you want to be the best parent you can be but are at your wit’s end? Are you lacking confidence, skills or knowledge to effectively navigate various parenting challenges? As we understand your exhaustion and frustration, we take you by the hand and offer you a customized approach incorporating experiential activities so that you can effectively deal with problematic behaviors while building close and respectful relationships with your child(ren).

What our clients say about us
Noyona at Powerful Mind Counselling has truly been an exceptional therapist for me and has guided me through some tough times. Her warmth and understanding made it easy to open up and tackle my challenges. She didn’t just listen; she really heard me and offered wise insights that have helped me grow. With her support, I’ve learned practical ways to deal with anxiety, handle stress and face challenges head-on. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and makes a real difference.

Working with Shazia has been transformative for my wife and I. As it’s never easy to resolve differences on your own, having a mediated forum with Shazia to enhance our shared communication, empathy and understanding of each other has resulted in significant improvement of our marriage. Shazia has been a very effective and receptive counsellor to kickstarting our relationship, as well as fostering keen insights into how we can keep the love and respect as strong as possible moving forward.
Thank-you Shazia!

Jonah has been an invaluable support in my journey towards managing anxiety. He creates a safe and non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings. Jonah actively listens, offers constructive feedback, and encourages me to challenge negative thought patterns in a supportive manner. Thanks to Jonah I am making good progress in reducing my anxiety levels and improving my overall quality of life. I recommend Jonah to anyone seeking treatment from a counselor who truly cares about their clients’ mental health and well-being.
