Miss Dharshi Ponnampalam Counsellor (Student)

My hope is to offer a space where people feel safe, seen, and supported—especially when life feels heavy or uncertain. My background is in counselling, social work, and education, and over the years I’ve walked alongside children, young people, and women navigating things like anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and major life changes. I’m particularly interested in the experiences of migrants and women moving through complex emotional landscapes, often quietly. I bring a person-centred approach that’s grounded in trauma-informed practice. I often draw on mindfulness and somatic tools, guided by curiosity and care. I’m currently studying towards a Master’s in Counselling, continuing to grow in ways that help me better support others. I know that sometimes just getting through the day can take a lot. If you're carrying things that feel too much to hold alone, this is a space where we can safely explore what matters most to you, your strengths and options, and move toward your goals.
