She/Her

ACCT, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor

Ferzana Jamani is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with The Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (#3255). She has the understanding to support you where you are by focusing on your strengths and will offer you tools that will foster mind and body connections as well as undo the sense of aloneness and ensure you feel safe, heard and seen.

As a BIPOC woman of South Asian descent, Ferzana has struggled with trauma and racism along with adapting to a new way of life when she and her family immigrated to Canada. She grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, which tainted her relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize her self worth and seek help. It was also a journey of healing as she confronted her insecurities and found connection and purpose and her dedication in serving. She is grateful for discovering her voice, her gifts and experiencing incredible personal growth through her learning. Her journey has shown her that she has a lot to offer to the world and she is enough just the way she is and the importance of celebrating her imperfections and ‘the messes’ that make her who she is.

Ferzana practices from a holistic client-centred approach embedded with transpersonal and somatic therapy techniques along with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, meditation, breathwork and visualization techniques to support you in feeling more connected to your mind and body. Her focus is on individual and family relationships, anti-oppression, intergenerational and racial trauma, limiting self beliefs, anxiety, feminist perspectives, and mental health and substance use disorders. Ferzana is dedicated to being truthful with you and working with you at your pace with care, compassion, and gentleness.

Coming to therapy can be terrifying and reaching out is the first step. Start your healing journey today by booking a free consultation with Ferzana.

  • My kids feel safe and supported with me and are comfortable in talking to me about anything. Sometimes it’s TMI but makes me grateful that they feel they can be themselves.

  • Pizza. I really enjoy pizza because it is multi faceted and unique just like the person consuming it. It can give you joy with every bite and can connect you with others when you share your pizza.
