Welcome

I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy to adults. Therapy is an invitation to slow down, make sense of what’s unfolding within, and reconnect with what truly matters.

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

I draw from a range of evidence-based frameworks, with an emphasis on therapies that foster present-moment awareness, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Contemporary Gestalt Therapy.My style is relational and interactive, with a central goal of raising awareness of how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact in real time to shape our lived experience.Therapy isn’t about being told what to do. I listen closely and reflect patterns, themes, and feelings that might otherwise go unnoticed. This process can deepen your understanding of yourself and open space to discover your via novus, or “new way,” forward.

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.Born and raised in New Brunswick, I earned a PhD from McGill University in 2008 and worked internationally as a molecular biologist. Over time, I realized that the helping professions aligned more closely with my deeper values of compassion and care. Returning home in 2017, I began working with youth in local group homes before completing a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at UNB.Every time I sit with a client, I feel affirmed in my choice to become a therapist, and grateful for the work I do.

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