Rabia is currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. She holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Birmingham in the UK and previously earned a Doctor of Medicine (MD) from Xavier University School of Medicine. Her transition from medicine to mental health has included work in medical research, education, and the non-profit sector—experiences that continue to shape her holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy.
With a deep appreciation for the connection between physical and emotional well-being, Rabia has supported individuals facing both chronic and acute health challenges, drawing on a strong understanding of the mind-body relationship. She is especially passionate about perinatal health and supporting individuals through pregnancy and beyond on their parenting journey. As a mother of two young children, Rabia combines professional knowledge with lived experience to offer compassionate, grounded care to those navigating this important life transition and the complex realities of parenthood.
Having lived in four countries, Rabia has had the privilege of working with diverse populations. These experiences have deepened her commitment to culturally responsive, client-centered care. She is dedicated to building meaningful therapeutic relationships and supporting clients through life’s challenges with empathy, openness, and respect. Understanding that you are the expert of your own life, Rabia aims to guide and support you with warmth and compassion, creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and truly heard throughout your therapeutic journey.

With exciting life transitions often comes an overwhelming sense of uncertainty—questioning
your decisions, feeling stressed, and wondering what comes next. Having a compassionate and
sensitive space can make a meaningful difference. My approach is integrative, personalized,
and client-centred, allowing individuals to explore their experiences and intersection of identities
while building self-confidence and cultivating empowerment. I bring warmth and empathy,
striving to create a space where individuals feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we work
towards developing resilience, improving self-esteem, and supporting personal growth in a
holistic way.
I am currently completing the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I
earned my bachelor’s degree at the University of Toronto Mississauga with double majors in
Psychology and Biology. My education helps me recognize the intricate connections of
neuroscience and psychology in sociocultural contexts. Through my work and volunteering
experience, I gained meaningful insights into the struggles of diverse age groups, cultures,
minority communities and immigrant background. I am committed to inclusive and culturally
sensitive practice.

As the daughter of an immigrant family, I recognize the pressures of expectations, language
barriers and cultural identities on families. I provide mental health support in four languages:
English, Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu.
More than just my work
When not working, you can find me being a science nerd, appreciating a good storyline through
books, movies or series, dancing for fun or doing some creative stuff.
