I identify as a Queer, non-binary individual from the Middle East (Lebanon). I am a child of war and a first-generation immigrant. I lived in Lebanon for 22 years, then moved to Brisbane, Australia, where I spent 7 years, and in 2023, I permanently relocated to Vancouver, Canada.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors , a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (II) with Evergreen Certifications and have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field.

My mental health journey began in 2012 when I embarked on my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, specializing in psychiatric nursing. I have practiced in both Lebanon and Australia, working as an RN in inpatient units, with psychiatry consultation liaison teams, and as a mental health clinical nurse during COVID-19

Driven by my passion for psychology and a deep curiosity about understanding behavioural patterns and the “whys” behind human suffering, I pursued a Master’s degree in Counselling in 2017 from the University of Queensland in Australia. As a licensed counsellor, I specialized in women’s health and worked with domestic violence survivors. My practice later expanded to supporting young adults with chronic medical conditions, and eventually, I provided care to inpatients with acute medical conditions.

While qualifications and work experience matter, they don’t define the essence of who I am. My true self is shaped by my core values, lived experiences, and deepest, most authentic aspirations.

Having experienced loss and grief from a very young age, my perception of life has always been deeply humbled. In pursuit of deeper soul connections, inner callings, and higher purpose, I have embarked on various healing journeys- some smooth and others deeply challenging. Today, I hold the intersections of being Queer, Trans, Non-binary, Middle-Eastern, Immigrant, and a Child of War with reverence and humility. These experiences have taught me to dig deep within myself to honor my voice, truth, roots, and my ancestral lineage with immense pride.

Drawing on my diverse experiences, I offer counselling services tailored to those navigating personal transitions, grief, identity exploration, and trauma. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, helping individuals and couples process deep emotional wounds, relational pain, and systemic oppression. I work with those seeking clarity, self-empowerment, and healing, guiding them through their journeys with compassion, care, and deep understanding.

If you’re still here reading this, my hope is that you’ll choose to work with me so we can co-create a space where you reconnect with your real, truthful, and clear voice—the one that will guide you to the most precious place of all: your heart and core self.

Join me at my practice, Sukoon Consultancy Space, and let’s create magic together.
