Growing up with Punjabi Sikh roots on the lands of the T’exelcemc First Nation has shaped my balanced approach to life and instilled in me a deep commitment to the Sikh principle of Seva.

My experience ranges from supporting unhoused populations to serving as an Advanced Care Paramedic. I hold degrees in Psychology, Paramedicine, and Criminology.

​Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Counselling Psychology in the Lower Mainland, focusing on culturally sensitive practices and offering healing through Meditative Movement, an integrative approach where the mind, body, and spirit are all part of the journey.

Hey, hi, hello—I’m Stanley! I am a recent Master of Counselling graduate and Intern Counsellor under the supervision of Dr. Melissa Jay, Director of Canmore Counselling and Registered Psychologist. I also provide counselling care to students at the UBCO Counselling Centre.

Whether you’re new to counselling or have prior experience, I strive to ensure the process centers around your unique hopes and needs. I believe that counselling fosters an authentic relationship with your whole self, enriching every aspect of your life that you value. My practice is trauma-informed, rooted in humanistic traditions, Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which together emphasize resilience, self-compassion, and psychological flexibility. These approaches encourage us to take meaningful actions toward the lives we desire. I see counselling as a collaborative process, walking alongside you on life’s many winding paths and forks, and I honour the privilege of joining you on this journey.

I have an affinity for working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity exploration, and those seeking support on their mental wellness journey. I currently manage wellness programs for teens and youth with anxiety, as well as behavioural and emotional regulation challenges. Additionally, I have a breadth of experience working with adults, international students, first responders, and individuals with PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and neurodiversity. I am a queer, person of colour and warmly welcome folks of all identities, social locations, and experiences to come as you are and as you please.

I engage in personal counselling as a practice of my own care and development. Outside of counselling, I love spending time with my partner, friends, and family, playing cards or board games, hiking, paddleboarding, and playing with—or, more accurately, being herded by—my corgi, Oatey.

Thank you for visiting our Canmore Counselling page. I hope you find the right options for your journey, and I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Warmly, Stan (he/him)
