Akash holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC).

He has accumulated a variety of skills, observations, and techniques over the past decade working in the field of mental health that has equipped him to become a Therapist.

Akash began his time in this field as a Behaviour Interventionist before transitioning to a Peer Support and Mental Health Worker assisting individuals both youth and adults in residential and hospice care settings who have been diagnosed with mental health and substance use concerns.
