In resonance with Freud, I believe that therapy extends “Beyond the Couch,” embracing a holistic journey that incorporates mind, body, and spirit. I perceive life’s trials as catalysts for personal evolution, acknowledging the profound beauty that can emerge amidst adversity. My curiosity about the complexities of the human experience informs my therapeutic approach, drawing inspiration from the natural cycles observed in the world around us, such as the metamorphosis of a butterfly and the growth of a flower.

In therapy, I collaborate with clients to navigate these seasons, supporting their path toward inner wellness, growth, transformation, and resilience.

Professional Background

Greetings,

Shalley Singh is currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University, building upon her foundation in evidence-based practices and therapeutic techniques. Her professional experience spans a variety of settings, including providing mental health services for youth, supporting children on the autism spectrum, and working as an addiction’s counsellor with Indigenous populations in Thunder Bay.

Shalley’s journey in mental health began during her Specialized Honours in Psychology at Lakehead University, where her research on Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) ignited her passion for supporting individuals through their mental health challenges. This combination of academic research and practical experience shapes her approach to therapy.

Philosophy of Practice

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This ancient wisdom reflects my belief that transformation starts with the courage to reach out and seek support. In the therapeutic relationship, each session represents a step forward on your path to healing and growth, taken at your own pace and in your own way.

What Sets Me Apart?

My approach to therapy is deeply influenced by my experience working in a shelter setting, where I learned the profound importance of truly listening before speaking. This experience taught me that healing begins with being heard and understood. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where your story can unfold naturally, and together we can explore paths to healing and growth.

I incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities into my practice, tailoring my treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each client. By drawing on evidence-based approaches, I help individuals navigate challenges while building on their existing strengths and resources.

Transformative Journey

Growing up in a South Asian household, I witnessed firsthand how mental health struggles were often stigmatized and silenced. I saw friends and family suffering in silence with nowhere to turn and no one to talk to. This deeply personal experience ignited my passion to create change and establish safe spaces where people could speak openly about their mental health without fear of judgment or dismissal.

This mission has guided my professional path through roles as an Addictions Counsellor working with Indigenous populations, a Behavioural Therapist for children on the autism spectrum, and a Crisis Counsellor supporting individuals through their darkest moments. Each experience has deepened my commitment to accessible mental health care and sharpened my clinical skills across various methodologies and demographics.

My background gives me a unique perspective on cultural barriers to seeking help and informs my culturally sensitive approach to therapy. I understand the courage it takes to reach out, especially when coming from communities where mental health discussions have been taboo.

Empowerment and Discovery

Through my practice, I help individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation. I work with clients to build resilience and develop effective coping strategies, while also guiding them to strengthen their self-esteem and pursue personal growth.

With extensive experience supporting individuals facing major life changes, I understand the complexities of transitions and grief. I offer support for those experiencing stress, burnout, and relational challenges. My background in addiction counseling has given me valuable insight into recovery and healing, while my work with students and professionals equips me to address school and work-related stressors effectively.

My practice warmly welcomes individuals and families from diverse backgrounds who are navigating life transitions. Whether you are facing immediate challenges or seeking deeper personal growth, I offer a collaborative, empathetic approach tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we can work towards creating meaningful change and fostering lasting well-being.

Your Partner in Healing, Growth, and Balance.
