Ikjyot Rehal (phonetics: Ik-jot) is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), with an MEd. Counselling Psychology degree from Simon Fraser University. For the last 10+ years, she has passionately worked closely with individuals to achieve their unique goals in life. Ikjyot is experienced and skilled at supporting people who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, family/relationship conflicts and trauma. Ikjyot is an advocate to help people feel and own their power and voice.
Individual Therapy: Often clients come to Ikjyot when they are overwhelmed and alone. Her approach in counselling is to create a safe, and relationally nurturing environment for her clients so that they can be themselves and express their emotions with Ikjyot without fearing any judgement. Healing is rarely a linear journey and sometimes it can seem complex. Ikjyot supports her clients by collaboratively helping them to reach their goals of getting “unstuck”, developing coping skills, self-empowerment and improving their relationships.
Couples Therapy: Ikjyot is also a trained couples counsellor with extensive training in Gottman Method and EFT. Her approach to couples therapy is to help couples learn effective communication skills and be able to express their needs, which results in creating a stronger bond with each other. Often couples are unaware that they are stuck in unhelpful relational dynamics which are the cause of conflict. Ikjyot helps couples to see these unhelpful dynamics, and assists them to create healthier and more secure ways of commnunicating.
