Hi, I'm Shivani! (She/Her)

– CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! – 

Shivani is a compassionate and culturally sensitive therapist fluent in English, Hindi, Urdu and Gujarati. She is driven to support couples and individuals in navigating challenges and building healthier, more meaningful relationships. Shivani uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples who feel stuck in recurring conflicts, communication breakdowns, or emotional distance. Through this approach, she supports partners in understanding the deeper emotions and patterns that shape their interactions, helping them improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional connection.

In addition to couples counselling, Shivani has experience supporting individuals facing a wide range of concerns including trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and eating disorders. Her clinical background includes working in hospital settings with eating disorder patients, supporting children and youth in school environments, and working with neurodivergent individuals in group home settings. These diverse experiences have shaped Shivani’s compassionate, trauma-informed approach and allow her to understand the ways personal history and family dynamics can influence relationships.

Shivani strives to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and understood. She works collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to strengthen relationships, develop healthier patterns, and foster emotional resilience.

Outside of the office, Shivani is a trained a singer, having devoted over a decade to studying Indian classical music and also trained in classical opera during her teenage years.
