Welcome

I work with adults (19+) who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Therapy offers space to slow down, make sense of what’s unfolding within, and reconnect with what truly matters.

The People I Support

Many of my clients 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 facing stress, burnout, and uncertainty around personal definitions of success and productivity.Retirees/Older Adults reflecting on meaning, purpose, and identity beyond work and previous roles.Caregivers balancing care for others with care for themselves.Via Novus Counselling is an affirming and inclusive space for people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities

My Approach

My style is relational and interactive, focusing on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours unfold in real time.Good therapy isn’t about being told what to do. I listen carefully and reflect the patterns, themes, and feelings that might otherwise go unnoticed. This process can help you make deeper sense of your experience and open space to discover your own via novus, a new way forward.I draw from evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, with an emphasis on therapies that support present-moment awareness, such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Contemporary Gestalt Therapy.

About me

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.
