Hey! I’m Kiran Bains
Perinatal Mental Health and Couples Counselling
I began my career as a social worker and have over a decade of experience in the mental health and postpartum fields. I believe in working from a person centered approach, where I work alongside my clients by empowering them to be the best version of themselves within their own capacity. I am an empathetic listener and create a safe and validating space for my clients. I am passionate about working with adults and couples focusing on a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, self esteem, stress/burnout, relationships and cultural/intergenerational difficulties. As a mom myself I have a keen interest in working with women specifically in the areas of fertility, parenting, and overall maternal mental health. I also focus on cultural competence being an important part of the therapy process and can provide services in both English and Punjabi.
I work from an attachment based lens and use a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Gottman’s Method for Couples.
It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support and I believe in working with you to create a therapeutic plan that fits your needs. I hope to hear from you soon so that I may support you with your next steps towards achieving your goals.
