Counselling & Psychotherapy

Chamel Khoury, MEd, LCT-C
My approach to therapy
I support individuals seeking deeper self-awareness and clarity by exploring the patterns and experiences that shape their lives. My approach is relational and experiential, focusing on the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to foster a fuller understanding of oneself.My therapeutic orientation is integrative and evidence-based, drawing on mindfulness-centred modalities such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Contemporary Gestalt Therapy.Good therapy is about more than talking—it’s about engaging with your experiences in a supportive and interactive space so you can live more fully, make decisions with confidence, and move toward real lasting change.

About me
I'm a Canadian Certified Counsellor and licensed member (# LCT-C24-089) of the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick.
Born and raised in New Brunswick, I earned a PhD from McGill University in 2008 and worked as a molecular biologist in the United States and Europe. Finding myself unfulfilled by my career, I returned home in 2017, and began working with youth in local group homes. I quickly learned that the ‘helping professions’ align with my deeper values of compassion and growth, leading me to pursue a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at UNB. Every time I sit with a client, I feel reinforced in my choice to become a therapist, and I’m grateful for the work I do.
