Pamela is a self-proclaimed people person, so much so that she’s centered her career around it. She’s a Registered Clinical Counsellor and works as a counsellor in both a clinical and private setting. Her therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and she has a keen interest in working through trauma. As such, she’s completed refugee and trauma training and Somatic Based Therapy training.

Pamela’s interest in counselling and trauma-based practices comes from her own experiences with anxiety and pain. After a car accident that left her on the receiving end of an injury, Pamela became interested in working with trauma and chronic pain and the connections of both with anxiety and depression. Learning to navigate her own relationship with anxiety, pain, and depression allows her to root herself in compassion as a practitioner.

Pamela’s connection to people has been a thread that she’s actively woven through the entirety of her career. Long before working in clinical and private settings, she actively exercised her therapeutic capacities in the community. For many years, Pamela both worked and volunteered her counselling skills in the non-profit sector. She previously offered accessible therapy to marginalized folks at both the individual level and in group-based counselling sessions. She did so because she believes that counselling should be accessible to everyone, despite their circumstances. She still makes time for community work and has a strong passion for providing low-barrier counselling to folks of the Punjabi community. She is able to offer counselling sessions in both English and Punjabi.

Personhood is at the core of Pamela’s practice, her method of counselling focuses on empowering her clients. She ensures that her clients are in charge of their own journey and receive therapy at their own pace. Pamela honours the importance of individuals crafting their own individual journeys.

I have always loved working one on one with people. It was a major driver as to why I entered massage therapy. Health has also always been something I value highly. Combining these passions is what lead me to massage therapy. Diving head first into my career in 2015 I found myself still craving more knowledge. That’s when I bumped into someone on the bus. They had their arm bandaged and we got to talking. They excitedly told me about the treatment they were receiving. (Complete lymphatic decongestive therapy) that night I went home and could not tear my eyes away from the computer. Through my search I realized that lymphedema had been effecting a loved one for many years. That moment was a catalyst in my career. It drove me to take the full Vodder lymphatic program in one shot and follow it up with challenging the LANA exam. I was driven by the desire to give the care my loved one never had the chance to receive. If asked my patients would probably describe my treatment style as soothing and effective. One of my favorite lines is “you don’t need pain to create tissue change”

Today you can still find me reading studies, taking classes and excitedly discussing what my family lovingly calls “nerdy stuff”.

There are very few health care careers that allow the same level of therapeutic connection as Massage Therapy and I am thankful every day it found me.
