Arpna Bhullar

I am a registered social worker with 6+ years of experience working across a variety of mental health programs. Through these experiences, I’ve learnt that mental health can’t be meaningfully or ethically understood without looking at inequalities in our social world: colonization, racism, and other systems of oppression. I’ve worked with people struggling with a wide range of challenges, including gender and sexuality issues, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Although I enjoy working in these areas and strongly believe that each new relationship is a unique and uncharted experience, I am especially excited to work with LGBTQ+ clients.

My counselling approach is grounded in a deep respect for the therapeutic relationship. I believe that mental health is best understood through the lens of our past and present patterns in relationships. I work hard to be collaborative, warm, and curious, inviting you to remain open to what comes alive in the room between us. In partnership with my clients, my goal as a counsellor is to co-create a space for exploration, reflection, and self-understanding to enhance your psychological flexibility and freedom.
