Meet Amanpreet Wadhwa – Calgary Individual and Couples Counsellor
My name is Amanpreet Wadhwa, and I’m a Registered Calgary-based individual and couples counsellor offering therapy that’s relational, reflective, and rooted in lived experience.
My Story
Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly two decades in the field of computer science – working, parenting, and trying to hold everything together while slowly realizing something inside me was unraveling.
From the outside, things looked fine. But inwardly, I felt a deep thinning of meaning, connection, and vitality. Like many, I was fulfilling roles – professional, spouse, parent – without the inner room to process, reflect, or recalibrate. Eventually, I turned to counselling for myself. That decision didn’t fix everything, but it began something more important: a return to what truly matters.
A Turning Point
Therapy didn’t offer quick answers – it offered a space where slow, meaningful change could take root. That experience not only supported my personal growth, but reshaped my path entirely. I came to value what is unhurried, what is true. Therapy became more than support – it became a lens through which I view life, healing, and human connection.
This led me to train as a therapist, bringing together my personal healing journey, professional training, and a long-standing curiosity about how people relate, adapt, and grow over time.
My Approach to Counselling
I believe that change begins with awareness. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, conflict, or emotional depletion, therapy offers a place to gently begin untangling what’s been difficult – and to move toward something more honest, resilient, and grounded.
In my work, I integrate depth psychology, relational understanding, and spiritual inquiry. Here’s what that looks like across different services I offer:
- Individual Counselling: We explore underlying patterns, early relationships, internalized beliefs, and how they’ve shaped your current experience. Our work brings language to what’s been long held or unspoken – moving toward clarity and change.
- Couples Counselling: Using the Relational Life Therapy (RLT) approach, I help partners understand the deeper roots of their dynamics. We look at relational patterns, early attachment, and cultural narratives, while building relational accountability and new skills for intimacy and communication.
- Spiritual Counselling: For those seeking more than insight, I offer therapy that honors the emotional and energetic aspects of healing. As a Master Reiki Practitioner, I integrate Reiki into sessions for those who wish – bringing stillness, regulation, and deeper connection with the nonverbal dimensions of self.
Whether through dialogue or stillness, my goal is to create a space where healing becomes possible – in whatever form it needs to take for you.
Who I Work With
I work with adults – individuals and couples – who are seeking more than a quick fix. You might be feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or quietly resigned. Maybe you’ve tried coping on your own, and now you’re ready for something deeper.
If you’re interested in a counselling process that is reflective, challenging, and gently transformative, you’ll likely resonate with my approach. I don’t promise transformation – but I offer a consistent place for honest, meaningful work. Over time, this can foster greater resilience, deeper self-awareness, and more fulfilling relationships.
Beginning the Process
Starting therapy isn’t easy – and yet if you’re reading this, something in you may already be ready. Ready to pause, to reflect, to face what’s been long set aside.
I invite you to explore the services I offer, or reach out directly if you’d like to begin a conversation. You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you’re seeking individual therapy, couples counselling, or a more spiritual path to healing, I’m here to support you.
