Carlton D'Souza, MCP, CCC
Canadian Certified Counsellor
Life is full of twists and turns that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps. My goal as a therapist is to offer a supportive and safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. I believe in working together to uncover your inner strengths, address challenges, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and empowered.
Everyone’s journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet you where you are. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, grief, or simply seeking clarity and growth, I am here to guide and support you. Through compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, we’ll work to create meaningful change and help you move toward a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
I’ve previously worked with clients who are anxious, depressed, grieving, demotivated, diagnosed with terminal illness, victims/perpetrators of abuse, and those lacking meaning in their lives.
My Therapeutic Approach
I primarily use the Person-centered and Existential approaches to guide my presence and exploration in the room. Apart from these, I also draw tools from other approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Brief Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Somatic Psychotherapy.
Languages
As a South Asian counsellor, I offer therapy services in both English and Hindi, providing culturally sensitive support to individuals seeking counselling in their native language.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and it’s completely normal to have questions or uncertainties about the process. To help you feel more comfortable and ensure it’s the right fit, I offer a consultation before you commit to counseling. This initial meeting gives us the chance to get to know each other, discuss your goals and concerns, and explore how I can support you on your journey. It’s an opportunity for you to ask questions, share your thoughts, and decide if this feels like the right space for you to begin your path toward growth and healing.
