Neelu Din

Neelu Din is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#24937) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (#11247803) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families. She works with children, youth, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Neelu understands that difficult experiences are not always easy to put into words. They may show up as worry, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, changes in behaviour, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to understand. She looks beyond what is happening on the surface to understand the emotions, experiences, and needs underneath, helping clients develop greater self-understanding.

In her work with children, Neelu pays attention to what may be communicated through behaviour, play, withdrawal, worry, or big emotions. She incorporates Child-Centered Play Therapy and principles of Synergetic Play Therapy, offering developmentally appropriate ways for children to express themselves and process their experiences. She also collaborates with parents, caregivers, foster families, and agencies to strengthen understanding, safety, connection, and confidence in supporting the child.

Neelu is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and has training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). Her integrative approach also draws from CBT, EFT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic approaches, and trauma-informed, client-centred approaches.

Neelu brings compassion, curiosity, and cultural sensitivity to her work. She recognizes that each person’s experiences, relationships, family context, and way of understanding the world are unique, and creates a space where clients can feel understood, supported, and more connected to themselves and others.
