Via Novus

Counselling Services

Welcome

I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy to adults. Therapy is a space to slow down, check in with yourself, and reconnect with what matters most. It can help you notice patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that may be causing stress or holding you back.

The People I Support

People I work with often describe feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected. Many are navigating major life transitions, coping with loss, or sensing that something important is missing.I work with:Young Adults exploring purpose, identity, and independence.Professionals questioning personal definitions of success and productivity.Older Adults reflecting on meaning, purpose, and identity beyond previous roles.Via Novus Counselling is an affirming and inclusive space for people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities

My Approach

In therapy, I focus on helping you notice what is happening in your experience of life. I do not tell you what to do. Instead, we explore patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together so you can better understand yourself and make choices that feel right for you.I use practical, evidence-based methods that help you stay present, manage stress, and face challenges more clearly.Sessions are interactive and collaborative. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you figure out your next steps.

Chamel Khoury, MEd, CCC, LCT-C

I'm a Canadian Certified Counsellor and licensed member (# LCT-C24-089) of the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick.I was born and raised in New Brunswick. I initially trained as a molecular biologist, earning a PhD in 2008 and working internationally for several years. After returning home in 2017, I discovered my deeper values align more closely to relational work that has day-to-day impact, and I began working with youth in local group homes. This work lead me to pursue a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at UNB, which I completed in 2024.My practice grows out of curiosity, presence, and deep respect for the people who sit with me. I feel fortunate to support them as they come to know themselves better and navigate real, meaningful change.

Via Novus Counselling operates with gratitude on the unceded lands of the ancestral Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq peoples.
