Creative counselling and therapy for children (8+), youth and adults.
Supriya is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Music Therapist in Victoria, BC, providing virtual and in-person therapy.
Sessions are shaped around how you process, not the other way around.
Your mind works differently.
Here, therapy does too.
I'm here to meet you where you're at, and help you get to where you want to be, feel, or move toward. As an experienced music therapist and counsellor, I bring creativity grounded in clinical training to how we relate, process, and foster growth.

Who I Work With
Kids 8+
With kids, sessions are mostly play, movement, and creation, expression that doesn't rely on constant conversation. I work closely with parents to understand what's actually needed, whether that's building turn-taking, reciprocity, communication, or simple confidence, and that shapes how I show up in the room. Talk comes in only as much as each child is ready for it.
Teens
Music tends to lower the pressure teens often feel around straightforward conversation. Many of my teen clients are already deeply connected to music, so we often use songwriting, and sometimes basic digital music production, as a way in. It's a chance to process feelings while also learning something tangible: how to write, how to record, how to shape an idea into something finished.
Adults
I support adults who want to understand themselves more fully, their patterns, their internal world, the systems that shape how they relate to themselves and others. Some do this through creative work, some through conversation, most through a mix, and sessions are shaped around that from the start.
My Approaches
Verbal:
DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy): Building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and staying grounded in difficult moments.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): Identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviours, and building practical tools to shift what isn't working.
Emotion-Focused Therapy: Exploring emotions directly, as a path to understanding, processing, and moving through them, rather than around them.
Music:
Improvisation: Creating music in the moment, with no right or wrong way to play. It offers a way to express what's happening internally, without needing words to explain it first.
Lyric analysis: Exploring the words in songs that already mean something to you, sometimes yours, sometimes ones you love, as a way into feelings and experiences that can be hard to name directly.
Songwriting: Writing original music and lyrics together, shaping raw feeling into something structured and complete. This often becomes a powerful way to process an experience while building a tangible piece of work.
Digital music production: Recording and shaping songs using digital tools, especially useful in linking emotional processing while building knowledge and skills of music production.
You don't need to see yourself as creative, or musical, to benefit from creative expression. It's about finding new ways to notice, express, and process what you're carrying.
