Amrit Gill, Registered Psychotherapist
MY PASSION
I’ve had some wonderful therapists that changed my life and I feel so strongly about empowering other people the same way.
WHO I WORK WITH
I love to work with women and couples from all backgrounds and walks of life. I understand what it is to balance being a daughter, a sister, a partner – and how sometimes we can leave ourselves behind in all of that.
Women who are experiencing or have experienced violence, women who are from minority groups, and women navigating transitions are a few groups I have experience helping.
Women can struggle with staying true to families, cultures, and unspoken rules. I get it. I’m here to help you make sense of it all in a way that works for you.
I also enjoy working with couples who are struggling with communication, life stressors or other issues that can create conflict within your relationship.
MY APPROACH
My counselling approach is primarily feminist and client centered – to put it simply, it’s all about you. I believe in the importance of understanding how the systems we live in influence how we make sense of our experiences.
Sometimes we don’t have the word to name what we’re experiencing. Sometimes we need someone to remind us it wasn’t our fault.
Understanding how society creates roles for us can also help us understand how we might be performing those roles in ways that don’t feel like they’re working anymore.
The most important thing for me is ensuring client safety and comfort in the therapy space. My style is warm and welcoming, giving you the freedom to guide our work at a pace that is comfortable for you. I believe in checking in and making sure we’re on the same page.
I have loads of experience working from cross cultural lenses and trauma informed perspectives. I think the most important part of the therapeutic journey is being able to trust and confide in your therapist, and that role is one I take very importantly.
In any space we create together, you have the power to communicate boundaries, needs, and expectations. You’re safe here.
