Hello, I am Tanuja. Working with people is my life's calling. I came to Canada in 2020 just as lockdown started. I spent the first 2 years in the midst of the pandemic trying to make sense of life in addition to adjusting to life in a new country. Making social connections was difficult, yet I cherish those  connections I could make.  Now I call British Columbia home. I am from South Asia. I bring the experience from working as an Addictions Counsellor as well as from Private Practice to my practice here. I have been in practice from 2011.  I have lived experience from the UK that I gained when I went there as a student. After coming to Canada, I worked in public health while also starting my practice. Having gained lived and work experience with people from various cultures, from btoh individualistic and collectivistic cultures affords me a unique multicultural perspective to work with clients. I identity as a BIPOC counsellor. 

When I am not working, I like to read fiction, murder mysteries and romance novels. Cooking to music and gardening help me destress. I connect with others through chats and food. Practicing meditation, occasional naps, pampering self and going for walks are some ways I like practice self- care. I make it a point to practice daily self- care after seeing burnout very closely. ​

I strive to meet every client where they are at in their journey. I look forward to working with you. Get in touch to learn more.​
