Rubeena Sandhu
Registered Clinical Counsellor
Clinical Counselling in Duncan, BC and virtually.
Rubeena Sandhu is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and founder of Havenwood Counselling in Duncan, BC. She works with anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, life transitions, and long-standing emotional patterns through an experiential and relational approach to counselling.
Her work draws from experiential approaches including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Coherence Therapy, with an emphasis on understanding the emotional learning and patterns underlying symptoms—not simply managing them.
My Approach to Counselling
I believe meaningful therapy involves more than understanding ourselves intellectually. My approach pays attention to what happens in the present moment—emotions, bodily responses, protective patterns, beliefs and the ways we have learned to relate to ourselves and others.
My work is grounded in experiential and relational therapy and informed by Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Coherence Therapy.
These approaches help us move beyond talking about a problem and become curious about the emotional learning, protective responses and patterns that keep it in place. The goal isn't to force symptoms away, but to understand what makes them necessary and create opportunities for meaningful change.
