Sanjit Jabbal, BA, MACP, RCC

Here is my story...

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with BCACC and hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I offer individual counselling for adolescents and adults, with my work grounded in a relational, culturally aware and trauma-informed approach that values safety, collaboration, and respect.

As a first-generation South Asian, Punjabi speaking woman, I bring lived understanding of how cultural values, intergenerational dynamics, and identity can shape emotional wellbeing. I specialize in bringing an intersectional lens to my practice, recognizing the ways identity, culture, and lived experience shape how we understand ourselves and the challenges we face.

My approach integrates storytelling, mindfulness, and somatic therapies. I am here to help clients better understand their experiences, create emotional awareness and stability and reconnect with their bodies.

Why Counselling with Sanjit?

My work as a counsellor is rooted in understanding that our stories are shaped by race, culture, family, identity and systems we move through everyday. We will explore your story to identify the experiences you’ve adopted, earned, or cultivated, and reflect on how they’ve shaped who you are today.

My therapeutic values and approaches:

Culturally Affirming

Our identities are an important part on how we experiences the world. My approach invites you to explore your connection to gender, race, culture, ethnicity, intellect and others that define you.

Client Centered

Focusing on therapy that works for you and your growth. We will support your strengths and foster new strategies that help you meet your goals.

Trauma Informed

Trauma can impact us in many ways. With a trauma informed lens, we will work on wellness and health strategies that support your mind and body.

Mindfulness Practice

Books Anyone?

When I’m not in session, I love getting lost in a good book. I’m drawn to stories by artistic authors and enjoy a range of genres, including drama, thrillers, romantasy, memoirs and biographies, and romance. Reading helps me slow down, stay curious, and connect with different perspectives. Check out my favourite books of 2025 below:
