Hi there!
Welcome to Chai Psychotherapy. My name is Sakthi Kalaichandran, and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor, currently accepting new clients in Ontario, Canada. I received my Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Western University, where I was privileged to receive the W.A. Townshend Gold Medal for highest academic achievement. This work ethic is reflected in my dedication to providing quality client care and creating a warm therapeutic space. I have extensive experience supporting diverse individuals with their mental health and well-being. It would be an honour to bear witness to your story and support you in finding inner strength and resilience.

Values
Developing a positive therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of my integrative & holistic approach to counselling. Creating a trusting, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment allows clients to feel safe to express their fears and vulnerabilities. Together, we will work towards aligning your values with purposeful action so that you can live a more joyful and meaningful life.
​
My personal mindfulness practice, including yoga and meditation, continues to inform my therapeutic work. I applaud you for considering counselling as a tool for personal growth, and I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.
