Haled enjoys working with clients by building authentic connections rooted in trust, acceptance and understanding. Inspired by positive relational experiences in his own life, Haled is passionate about showing up for people in a way that promotes safety and comfort. Inspired by Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, Haled believes in the importance of connecting positively with others, understanding our body and living a value-based life. He is interested in helping children, teenagers, adults, families, couples and marginalized populations through culturally-sensitive care. 

 

He is a counselling intern and graduate student at Trinity Western University pursuing a Masters of Counselling Psychology Degree. Throughout his education, he has developed an immense understanding of how negative life experiences can shape our thoughts, beliefs and behaviour. Haled is motivated to help people who feel stuck by offering a space where emotions can be experienced authentically and safely to help move clients towards an unburdened life. His cultural background also makes Haled eager to work with marginalized populations through culturally-sensitive care and to help families of different cultures feel accepted.
