What to know
East Abbotsford's established, longer-settled neighbourhoods bring a distinct pattern into sessions with Ibadat Kaur, a Registered Clinical Counsellor at Revive Rehab's Gladwin Road clinic — grief, retirement adjustment, and the emotional side of aging or chronic illness, alongside anxiety and depression. Ibadat's trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach draws on CBT, emotion-focused work, and mindfulness-based techniques.
What Does Counselling for Grief and Life Transitions Involve?
Grief and major life changes do not follow a fixed timeline, and sessions are shaped around where you actually are rather than a generic stage model. Ibadat works on processing the loss or change itself alongside its ripple effects on daily life.
Who Should Book From East Abbotsford?
Older adults and long-time residents navigating grief, retirement changes, or chronic illness, along with anyone managing ordinary anxiety or depression, are common clients from this part of the city.
How Long Does This Kind of Counselling Take?
Grief and transition work is rarely brief; expect a longer course of care reviewed together as things shift, rather than a fixed session count set at the start.
How Much Does a Session Cost?
Cost depends on session type. Many extended health and retiree benefit plans cover Registered Clinical Counsellor sessions in part, confirmed before billing.

“I had a really great experience with my psychotherapist Jasleen. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly has a lot of experience in her field. I always felt understood and supported during our sessions. She's also very kind and easy to talk to, which made a big difference for me.”
