My therapeutic style

I use an integrative counselling approach with individuals and couples. I tailor my approach to your needs and work collaboratively with you to set your goals for therapy. With empathy and non-judgement, I help you increase self-compassion and mindfulness.

I also gently challenge any unhealthy thinking patterns that may be present. Perspective is key!

I believe in a collaborative approach to client care. Let's work together towards restoring balance and bliss to your life.

Experience

Rania is a Registered Psychotherapist member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) with a Master's in Counselling and Spirituality. She has worked as a student mentor and a career coach during her undergraduate years. While completing her master's degree and conducting research on interfaith couples, Rania also provided counselling services to individuals, couples and families.

Rania then worked in an agency as a counsellor serving marginalized and racialized folks. With these experiences, Rania created Blissful Balance Counselling with a vision to better serve racialized folks and individuals from all backgrounds with quality mental health care. After 7 years in the mental health care field, and 3 years in private practice, Rania is shifting more towards the role of a clinic director. This includes matching clients with culturally sensitive therapists who may help guide them to restore balance and bliss in their life.

More than just my work

Outside of therapy, I enjoy attending hot yoga classes and spending all of my money in HomeSense.
You'll also likely find me in a coffee shop completing some therapy training. :)
