Kamelia Deleva, CCC, MA, MACP Founder & Clinical Director

Kamelia Deleva is a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with graduate training in Counselling Psychology and Spiritual Care.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, Kamelia spent years working in spiritual care and hospital settings supporting individuals facing grief, illness, end-of-life experiences, and existential suffering.

With over a decade of experience in spiritual guidance and emotional support, her work today bridges psychotherapy, meaning-making, trauma-informed care, and deeper human healing.

Kamelia works with adults and teens navigating grief, trauma, medical diagnoses, emotional overwhelm, and existential or spiritual questions. Clients who are spiritually curious, intuitive, or highly sensitive often find this approach especially supportive.

She integrates EMDR, mindfulness-based, somatic, existential, and spiritually integrated therapies, and offers in-person sessions on Nun’s Island and secure virtual therapy across Canada where permitted.
