No matter where you are on your journey or what challenges you’re facing, you are welcome here—exactly as you are. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, with trust, authenticity, and cultural understanding at the core of my approach. Through curiosity, collaboration, and a touch of humour (because therapy shouldn’t feel so heavy all the time!), I aim to support you in a way that honours both who you are now and who you’re becoming.

My practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and intersectional lens. I am deeply committed to working with individuals from all walks of life, with a particular passion for supporting Racialized and LGBTQIA2S+ communities. I take a holistic approach to mental wellness, recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, culture, relationships, and identity. By drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor each session to fit your unique needs and goals.

At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationships. I take the time to truly understand your story, creating an inclusive, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, cultural identity, relationships, or other challenges, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions for individuals in Calgary, Alberta. I am registered as a Counselling Therapist here in Alberta. I am also registered as a Canadian Certified Counsellor, which allows me to provide virtual therapy to clients across Canada, and as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am happy to offer virtual sessions to individuals residing in Ontario.

You don’t have to go through your challenges alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to support you

Welcome to Tulia Counselling & Consulting! My name is Melody and I am a Registered Social Worker practicing in Treaty Six territory (Edmonton). I have called this place my home my whole life but my roots are from Rwanda, Tanzania and Germany.

I work with individuals seeking to improve their mental health and well-being. I have experience in working with a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and more.

I offer a safe and supportive environment to help individuals overcome their challenges and achieve their goals using evidence-based therapies such as:

-Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR),
-Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT),
-Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
-Exposure & Response Prevention Therapy (ERP)
-Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

My goal is to empower individuals to process traumatic experiences, develop a greater understanding of themselves, and find a path towards growth and resilience.
