​​​​​​Trauma-Informed Counselling, Psychotherapy & Professional Supervision

​

My name is Dr. Amirah Shah. I am a trauma-informed counsellor and psychotherapist specializing in complex grief, trauma recovery, and multicultural therapy.

 

I also provide Professional Supervision for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, offering a reflective space to enhance therapeutic skills, navigate complex client cases, and prevent burnout. Whether you're an early-career therapist or an experienced clinician, my supervision approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and ethically grounded.

Healing from Trauma and Grief

​

These challenges disrupt your physical health (body), mental state (mind), personal relationships, and sense of meaning (spirit).

​

Common Trauma and Grief Symptoms:

​

• Trauma responses – flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, PTSD triggers that hijack your nervous system, and dysregulation

• Physical manifestations – trauma-related pain, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, physical stress symptoms

• Emotional challenges – grief processing difficulties, meaning loss, depression, anxiety after trauma

• Relationship impacts – isolation, trust issues, cultural disconnection, family system disruption

​

For some trauma survivors, it's easy to talk about these tragedies, while for others, it's unbearably difficult and almost never been spoken of. A story trapped inside.

 

Occasionally, delayed trauma recognition happens later in life, creating disbelief and further confusion about how to process these experiences.

​

To make things more complex, these struggles often intersect with cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and relationships, making the healing process deeply personal and multifaceted.

​

Whether you're seeking counselling, psychotherapy, or professional supervision, I provide a safe, compassionate for reflection and growth.
