Psychotherapy Network

Hi, I’m Chanté (pronounced Shawn-Taye). I take a thoughtful, relational approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when clients feel genuinely understood and supported. I aim to create a space where people can slow down, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface — without pressure or judgment.

I work with individual adults and couples, bringing over ten years of experience across community mental health and private practice, along with a background in relationship coaching. My style is collaborative, grounded, and practical, balancing emotional depth with clarity and direction. Clients often describe our work together as supportive, honest, and intentional, with a focus on building insight, strengthening relationships, and moving forward in ways that feel sustainable and aligned.

My work is grounded in supporting individuals as they navigate mental health within the context of culture, identity, family, and modern life. As a South Asian therapist, I am especially attuned to the complexities that can arise when personal values, expectations, and lived experiences feel difficult to reconcile.

I offer a steady, supportive space where clients can explore emotional challenges with care and clarity. With extensive experience supporting individuals navigating complex mental health concerns, I help clients build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and feel more grounded in both their inner world and external circumstances.

I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based modalities and mindfulness-informed practices to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful change. I work with youth (16+) and adults, and offer counselling in English, Urdu, and Hindi.

My work is grounded in a mind–body approach to therapy. With a background in yoga and mindfulness, I support clients in understanding how emotional experiences live in both the body and the nervous system, and how healing can happen through gentle awareness, regulation, and integration.

I aim to create a calm, attuned space where clients feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. My style is collaborative and responsive — I listen carefully, adjust to each client’s needs, and work in ways that support both emotional processing and a sense of physical grounding.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and have specialized training in trauma and somatic-based approaches. This allows me to support clients who may feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, anxiety, or reactivity, helping them build resilience, restore a sense of safety, and reconnect with themselves more fully.

Sessions are offered in English and Tamil.

I approach therapy with warmth, creativity, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. My work is grounded in creating a space where clients feel seen, accepted, and supported.

I bring a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens to my work, supporting clients as they explore emotions, relationships, and personal transitions with curiosity and compassion. My style is gentle yet intentional, allowing room for reflection while also supporting movement toward meaningful change.

With over sixteen years of experience in the performing arts, I often integrate expressive and creative approaches alongside evidence-based talk therapies. This blended style can be especially helpful for clients who find it difficult to put everything into words, offering alternative ways to process, explore, and connect.

I work with youth (16+), adults, and couples, and aim to meet each client where they are — honouring both the challenges they carry and the strengths they bring into the room.

I bring a grounded, thoughtful, and deeply human approach to therapy. My work is rooted in curiosity, honesty, and respect for each client’s lived experience. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel supported while also being gently encouraged to examine the patterns, stories, and beliefs shaping their lives.

Clients often appreciate my ability to hold space for complex emotions while also helping them make sense of their experiences in practical, empowering ways. I approach therapy as a collaborative process—one that values reflection, insight, and intentional growth rather than quick fixes or surface-level solutions.

I work with individual adults and couples, and aim to create a space for real conversations, not performative therapy. Sessions often balance emotional depth with warmth and the occasional moment of humour, allowing clients to feel understood while still being encouraged to grow.

I offer sessions in French and have a working knowledge of Arabic.
