Hello! I’m Fatima, the Registered Clinical Counsellor here at Real Talk. Have you ever felt like you don’t belong in conventional counselling spaces? Is it uncomfortable to express how you feel? At Real Talk, we recognize that sometimes life (or people!) get prickly. Add culture clash, work/school, and mental health to the mix, and you have a possible cocktail for chaos. At Real Talk, we believe that you are the expert in your life. Our practice is judgment-free. Whether you swear, cry, or feel unhinged, it’s okay! Bring your baggage and your labels, we have tons of room.
I recognize that lived experiences and relationships contribute to our feelings, behaviours, and how we view the world around us. I focus on how attachment styles, culture, and communication impact our relationships. While slightly comedic, I believe in a client-centred approach that is culturally diverse with a holistic perspective. Real Talk was formed on authenticity, with a focus on harm-reduction and trauma-informed practice.
In my spare time, I can be found spending time with my miniature dachshund, Chai, or soaking in the sun.
In addition to flexible scheduling, Fatima is open to in-person and online counselling. She aims to provide a safe and judgement-free space to explore whatever has led you to your counselling experience. If you can’t find a time that works for you, please email her at fatima@realtalktc.ca
