Meet Maryam

I am Maryam, a registered clinical counselor and I founded Giving Tree Counselling to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Giving Tree's mission is to help clients work through their struggles and grow by acknowledging and accepting their vulnerabilities and cultivate resiliency. 

In Giving Tree, evidence-based methods and interventions are adopted to suit each clients unique needs. However, the core approaches are as follows:

​

• System theory and family centered therapy

• Attachment based intervention

• Emotionally focused therapy

• Cognitive-behavior therapy

• Mindfulness

​

Working with children, play and art are the main tools of connecting in an engaging way. Working with youths, adults, and families, talking is the main way of connecting & working on issues, however, art and different activities may also be used to foster positive changes. 

​

What you will experience is a safe, peaceful, and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely and openly. Then, together, we explore your issues to have a deeper and wider understanding of finding ways and to create solutions to respond and perform better. The goal is for you to become empowered and more confident in your abilities to care for yourself and your loved ones, manage your life and solve problems that may arise.
