Dr. Saira Sabzaali
Registered Clinical Counsellor
People find me because they want to incorporate their cultural values and spiritual beliefs into personal development and counselling therapy. I believe when you change your story, you can change your life, and we can become deliberate about reframing our personal stories to create a life we are excited to wake up to in the morning.
I have worked as counselor and group facilitator with individuals and groups for 15 years, and am now moving more to teaching, mentorship, and community-building. I run regular online support groups that are inclusive and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, especially for those from marginalized communities.
In my sessions, workshops, courses, and educational videos, I teach simple psychology principles in easy-to-understand language, empowering you to re-discover that soft, still voice inside of you. I specialize in depression, anxiety, family harmony, and stress management. I have a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and has delivered two TEDx talks.
On a personal note, I have lived experience of chronic depression and am in recovery from food addiction. I have walked the valleys of despair, and have felt burnt-out, overwhelmed, and hopeless for years. With the support of a caring community and skilled mentors, I have been able to craft a life that feels peaceful, grounded, and rich, and I want to show you that change is possible.
I am not here to tell you to wait for the sunrise. I am here to teach you how to see in the dark.
