Welcome! I am Pramilda.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Expressive Arts Therapist & Coach, I support people who feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or called toward something more. Many of my clients sense that the life they are living no longer fits who they are becoming.
Together, we create space to listen deeply to what is asking to emerge, heal old wounds, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and alive.
I see each client as whole, resourceful, and inherently creative. I believe people are far more resourceful than they have been led to believe.
At my core, I am both an artist and a mother. Creativity has always been one of the ways I make meaning of life, through writing, movement, storytelling, ritual, and expressive arts.
Perhaps you have a feeling that something is missing. A quiet restlessness. A longing for something you cannot quite name. In my experience, that feeling is not a problem to solve. It is a calling asking for your attention.
How I Work
My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and deeply collaborative.
Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?”, I am interested in understanding “What happened to you?” and, just as importantly, “What is trying to emerge through this experience?”
I see each client as whole, resourceful, and inherently creative. I believe people are far more resourceful than they have been led to believe.
I also believe that your life offers a living curriculum, one that reveals itself through experience, patterns, challenges, and moments of becoming.
Each person carries profound inner resources such as wisdom, resilience, intuition, strength, imagination, and an innate capacity for healing. At times, these resources may become less accessible through trauma, life experiences, survival strategies, or self-doubt.
Together, we work to uncover and strengthen the inner resources that support healing, growth, and meaningful change. Through creativity, curiosity, reflection, and embodied practices, we create space to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been forgotten, silenced, or difficult to access.
I work from the understanding that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to serve as a compassionate companion and guide, walking alongside you as you move toward a life that feels more aligned and alive.
A Trauma-Informed and Decolonizing Approach
As a survivor myself, I bring a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and decolonizing lens to my work.
Many of our struggles are not individual problems to be fixed. They are often intelligent responses to trauma, loss, cultural conditioning, family systems, oppression, disconnection, and unmet needs.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. While Western psychological approaches offer valuable tools, I also honour other ways of knowing and healing, including creativity, embodied wisdom, spirituality, ancestral knowledge, community, ritual, and connection to the natural world.
I strive to create a space where you can explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique path. Together, we discover the approaches, practices, and insights that best support your healing and growth.
My Wake-Up Call Came in the Form of Illness
Before illness changed the direction of my life, I appeared successful by many conventional standards.
I was a wife and mother of two young children. Professionally, I held leadership roles in Human Resources within the Technology and Business Consulting industry, coaching high-performing professionals and being recognized for my vision and leadership.
Then my body forced me to stop.
What felt like a dead end became the beginning of a profound transformation.
For years, I had been living with anxiety, disconnection, and a growing sense that something in my life was no longer aligned. When illness brought everything to a halt, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and eventually PTSD. I began remembering previously hidden experiences of childhood trauma, abuse, and grief.
My healing journey invited me to reclaim forgotten parts of myself, develop gifts I did not yet know I possessed, and discover a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
What once felt like a breakdown became an initiation into a different way of living.
That journey transformed not only my health, but my understanding of healing, creativity, purpose, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. Today, I support others who find themselves at similar crossroads.
