Biography

Bhupinder (he/him/his) is currently in the process of completing his Ed.D. in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Toronto. Post Masters, he has gained over two decades of experience in clinical service, education, training and research in the areas of chronic pain, as well as mood and anxiety disorders.

His doctoral training in Multi-Cultural Counselling coupled with his lived experience and work with diverse and marginalized communities within private practice clinics, hospital settings and university/college counselling centres has emotionally attuned him to better serve the complex and multidimensional aspects of these communities. His therapeutic stance is to foster a safe and inclusive space where vulnerability can be embraced and differences and similarities that exist can be celebrated and empowered on an individual, group based and universal level.

His aim as a BIPOC therapist is to collaboratively explore the demands that uniquely shaped an individual’s sociocultural identity through the integration of Mindfulness and Relaxation approaches and evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapies (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy (NT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Brief Solution Focused (BSF) and Adlerian Therapy.

Primarily, he works to equip adults (18yrs plus) with knowledge and tools so that they are able to strive towards living a more meaningful and authentic life. He is able to provide therapeutic support in English (written and spoken), Punjabi (spoken), Urdu and Hindi (conversationally). He is being supervised by Dr. Harpreet Kaur Chattha, Ph.D., C.Psych. (Clinical Psychologist)
