Iaren Rai, MA, RCC
Welcome to Anhad Counselling! My name is Iaren, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) licensed with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I hold a master's degree in counselling psychology and have extensive experience working with children and adults. I am dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive space where clients can explore their challenges, discover their strengths, and achieve meaningful growth.
At Anhad Counselling, I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I believe in the importance of trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care, understanding that each person's journey is shaped by their cultural context and life experiences. By utilizing these approaches, I aim to support clients in overcoming obstacles, enhancing their resilience, and achieving meaningful change in their lives.
In addition to my professional background, I am a hockey enthusiast, nature lover, and avid animal advocate. My personal interests enrich my therapeutic practice by fostering creativity, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each individual's journey.
Thank you for considering Anhad Counselling as your partner on the path to healing and growth.
