Via Novus Counselling
Discover a New Way
I’m Chamel Khoury, Canadian Certified Counsellor and licensed (#LCT-C24-089) member of the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick.
Approach to Therapy
I practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, informed by psychodynamic, existential, and attachment-based perspectives. In practice, this means that although I consider your past experiences important in shaping your current patterns, sessions remain focused on the present and on what matters to you now.This approach helps you relate to your thoughts and emotions with greater flexibility. Instead of trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings, we work on developing ways of responding to them that allow you to move forward.Sessions are collaborative, interactive, and non-judgmental, where you can be yourself as you discover the choices available to you.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals navigating career pressures, relationship challenges, and the demanding expectations of modern life. While I have a particular interest and background in supporting the male experience, my practice is open to any adult (19+) seeking to understand themselves better.Pressures often manifest as persistent anxiety, stress, or a sense of being "stuck" in unhelpful patterns. Whether you are navigating changes in your personal life or exploring questions of purpose and direction, we work together to move toward a more meaningful and satisfying life.Common areas of focus include:
• Anxiety, Stress and Overthinking
• Relationship Dynamics
• Focus or Attention
• Low mood and loss of energy
• Career and financial stress
• Motivation and performance
• Parenting challenges
• Emotional Regulation & Reactivity
• Finding direction and purpose
• Life satisfaction and meaning
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.
