ALIYA DOWLUT
Owner & Clinical Director, M.A. (Counselling Psychology)
Registered Psychologist (AB)
Registered Psychotherapist (ON)
Aliya has always had a passion for counselling. Her first experience in a counselling role was creating and leading a mental health support group for refugees and newcomers to Canada who were coping with anxiety, trauma, and post-traumatic stress. This experience reinforced her commitment to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and build resilience.
Aliya's approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and grounded in meeting clients where they are in their journey. She recognizes that every individual is unique and tailors her therapeutic approach to each client's specific needs, goals, and strengths. Through a collaborative, strength-based approach, she supports clients in progressing at their own pace while working toward meaningful and lasting change.
Aliya also practices from a culturally sensitive and inclusive perspective, recognizing the important role that culture, identity, and lived experiences play in mental health and well-being. She believes that self-awareness and understanding are key components of personal growth and healing.
