About Me

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC #11254785) based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families. My background also includes graduate training and research in Health Behaviour through the University of London, UK, which continues to inform my understanding of behaviour change, health, and psychological wellbeing. As the owner and Clinical Director of Shayna Das Counselling, I am passionate about creating a warm, evidence-informed practice where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make lasting change. In addition to my clinical work, I facilitate the Saskatchewan EMDR Peer Consultation Group, fostering ongoing consultation, collaboration, and professional growth within the EMDR community.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dissociative disorders (including DID), ADHD, emotional dysregulation, motivation and goal-setting difficulties, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. I also have a particular interest in supporting healthcare professionals, first responders, and individuals recovering from complex or developmental trauma.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and somatic and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients process difficult experiences, build resilience, and create lasting change.

I have a particular interest in trauma and OCD treatment programs that combine evidence-based therapies in both individual and group settings. In addition to traditional weekly counselling, I offer trauma-focused intensive therapy sessions for clients who may benefit from a more immersive and accelerated approach to treatment.

Whether clients are seeking relief from longstanding emotional pain or looking to build confidence, resilience, and greater balance in their lives, I strive to provide a safe, respectful, and encouraging space where meaningful growth can occur.
