Layla Kabbaj
Counselling Intern \u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

I support individuals who may feel emotionally overwhelmed, caught in recurring relational patterns, or navigating anxiety that can leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. <\/b>I offer a warm, reflective, and non-judgmental space where clients can better understand themselves and the patterns shaping their experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed and attachment-based perspective<\/b>, with a focus on helping clients develop clarity around emotions, needs, and internal conflicts. I believe meaningful change happens not by \u201cfixing\u201d ourselves, but by building a deeper understanding of what is happening internally and why.<\/span><\/p>\n

My approach is collaborative and adapted to each client.<\/b> In sessions, I often work by slowing down emotional experience, exploring relational patterns, and bringing awareness to different parts of the self that may feel in conflict. I also sometimes use metaphors, imagery, or creative arts approaches to make emotional experience more accessible and easier to articulate. These approaches can help deepen self-understanding and support a stronger sense of agency, direction, and self-trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

I often support individuals experiencing intense emotions or finding themselves in emotionally challenging or imbalanced relationships. <\/span>My goal is to help clients develop a clearer emotional language and a more grounded understanding of themselves, leading to more intentional choices and healthier relationships.<\/b><\/p>\n

I hold a Master\u2019s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology from McGill University. I have completed over 700 hours of clinical training, including direct client work, assessments, and psychotherapy under supervision. I currently practice as a Counselling Intern under clinical supervision and am working toward licensure with the Ordre des psychologues du Qu\u00e9bec (OPQ).<\/span><\/p>\n
