I’m Chamel Khoury, the owner and practitioner of Via Novus Counselling. I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor and licensed member (# LCT-C24-089) of the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick.

The People I Support

Many men today face pressures around success, dating, relationships, and changing expectations of masculinity, leaving them feeling anxious, disconnected, or discouraged.These pressures can be particularly challenging for young men navigating the transition to adulthood.If this describes your situation, I encourage you to reach out to talk. I can help you work through issues around:

• Anxiety, stress and overthinking
• Relationship patterns
• Focus or attention
• Low mood and loss of energy
• Career and financial stress
• Motivation and follow-through
• Dating, intimacy, and sex
• Fatherhood and parenting
• Impulsivity, reactivity and anger
• Overthinking and indecision
• Finding direction and purpose
• Life satisfaction and meaning

Via Novus does not endorse ‘men’s rights’ activism that promotes misogyny or harm.

Approach to Therapy

I primarily use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), a modern cognitive -behavioural approach that incorporates mindfulness skills and values-based work. It can help you slow down and notice how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact to form the habits that keep you stuck. By increasing awareness of these patterns, you can begin to see new options for yourself and possibilities for change.Sessions are interactive and collaborative. My aim is to offer a space where you can reflect openly without judgment, understand your needs more clearly, and develop a better sense of the choices available to you moving forward.

About Me

Born and raised in New Brunswick, I earned a PhD from McGill University in 2008 and worked internationally as a molecular biologist for several years. After returning home in 2017, I discovered my deeper values are most aligned to the ‘helping professions’ and began working with youth in local group homes. This lead me to pursue a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at UNB, which I completed in 2024.My practice grows out of curiosity and deep respect for the people I sit with. I feel fortunate to support them as they come to know themselves better and navigate meaningful change.
