Aleya Nailor M.Ed, RCC

May 5

Welcome,

My name is Aleya, and I appreciate how far you’ve come to find yourself here. I believe that it takes courage and vulnerability to engage in therapy, and I consider it a privilege to be able to do this work. I’d like to offer you some support as you find your way through this difficult time.

Do any of these statements sound familiar?

I’m stressed and overwhelmed and feel myself shutting down and pushing others away
I don’t know how to cope with what I’m feeling or how to make it stop
I didn’t expect this to be so hard
I don’t experience joy anymore and feel like I’m losing myself
I feel guilty when I can’t hold it together and be strong for everyone else
I don’t feel heard by the ones I’m supposed to be able to rely on or ask for help
I don’t know why I can’t let go of things from my past

We will work together and use approaches that you are comfortable with and that meet your unique needs. I will use my education, professional and lived experiences to bring the knowledge, skills, and tools to support you through any highs and lows along the way.

I support adult individuals (19+) struggling with:

Anxiety & depression

Life transitions

Pregnancy and Parenting

Chronic pain, illness and disability

Interpersonal communication and relationships

Generational and cultural issues

Career challenges, transitions & workplace issues

A bit about me:

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, a wife, a mother, a person of colour, and someone who lives with chronic pain. I employ a holistic and culturally-sensitive practice aimed at facilitating a safe space where you feel welcomed to be yourself, knowing that you can explore your challenges and face difficult life experiences and emotions with validation, support, and the right tools to help you along the way.

The goal is to help you recognize your strengths as you learn to express, process, and move through life events.

My approach is individualized and multimodal, drawing from approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I have specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health, Vocational Counselling, and EMDR.
