I'm glad you found your way here! My name is Priya Varma and I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with over ten years of experience in the mental health field. I have specialized training and experience in sex therapy, ADHD, and trauma-informed care. I work with individuals and couples navigating concerns related to sexual health and intimacy, relationship challenges, ADHD, trauma, intergenerational patterns, caregiving demands, and major life transitions.

​

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and affirming. I have a particular interest in understanding how trauma, including intergenerational and vicarious trauma can shape our relationships, identities, emotional well-being, and the ways we move through the world. I work with clients to explore these experiences with curiosity and care while building on their existing strengths.

​

A significant part of my work focuses on sexual health, intimacy, and relationships. With specialized training in sex therapy, I bring a sex-positive, pleasure-affirming, and non-judgmental perspective to counselling. I respect and affirm diverse expressions of sexuality, gender, identity, and relationships, and support individuals and couples navigating concerns related to desire, intimacy, sexual functioning, communication, and relationship conflict.

​

My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, trust, and empowerment. I take an integrative and trauma-informed approach, drawing from:
 

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Narrative Therapy

• Somatic approaches

• Solution-Focused Therapy

• Mindfulness

 

I view therapy as a collaborative process shaped by deep and conversations, curiosity, patience, celebration, and humour. My goal is to build an authentic and trusting relationship to create the greatest potential for meaningful change and success.
 

Outside of my work, I’m a big animal lover and enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, exploring new places, and finding moments of calm in nature. I value connection, humour, and bringing a genuine, human presence into the work I do.
