HELPING YOU HEAL, RESTORE, GROW, AND THRIVE. 

Life unfolds in ways we can’t always prepare for. Sometimes it’s beautiful, sometimes it's messy, and other times it’s deeply painful. In the midst of it all, we are asked to keep going. But there comes a point when we need more.

If you’ve found your way here, it may be because you’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of trying to figure it out alone. You’re in the right place.

At Alined Counselling and Consulting Services, I offer a safe, supportive space where healing is not only possible it’s a meaningful process of becoming whole again.   Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief or personal growth and development, I walk alongside you with warmth, presence, and deep respect for your story.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapy and guided by each person’s unique story. Drawing from CBT, DBT, EFT, and mindfulness, I help clients understand how their experiences shape the ways they think, feel, and move through the world, building insight, resilience, and practical tools to live more fully.

I work in a way that is strengths-based, anti-oppressive, and relational, creating a space where you are seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner voice, reclaim your power, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and growth.

People come to therapy for many reasons. Whatever brings you here, it matters, and your growth is possible.

ABOUT ME

Welcome to Alined Counselling and Consulting Services. My name is Juliet Akhadia, MSW, RSW, and I am the Principal Psychotherapist at Alined Counselling and Consulting Services. For over a decade, I have walked alongside individuals and communities through healing, transformation, and self-discovery.

My path has been shaped by both lived experience and leadership across policy tables, community programs, and clinical spaces, supporting people navigating crisis, oppression, identity, and growth. I draw upon trauma therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based approaches, integrating them into a holistic practice that honours the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

As a Black woman and community advocate, I understand the depth of resilience it takes to navigate systems, identity, and change. That lived experience, combined with years of clinical and leadership work, allows me to create spaces that are both safe and transformative.

Alined Counselling is more than a therapy practice; it is a space to pause, breathe, and rediscover yourself. Whether you are working through pain, seeking clarity, or ready to grow, I am here to walk beside you as you move toward healing and alignment. In all that I do, whether through therapy, consultation, or community support, I lead with clarity, presence, and compassion, and a touch of humor that reminds us healing isn’t only about struggle, but also about rediscovering lightness, hope, and the small moments of joy along the way.
