Punjabi-Speaking Therapists and Counsellors in Canada

Counselling in Punjabi

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਾਉਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਅਤੇ ਥੈਰੇਪੀ

Some things are easier to say in Punjabi. The therapists on this page offer counselling and therapy in Punjabi, and all of them also work in English, so you can switch between the two whenever it helps. Many also speak Hindi or Urdu.

Punjabi-speaking clients often come to therapy for anxiety, family and relationship pressure, marriage and in-law stress, burnout, and the push and pull of living between two cultures. A therapist who speaks your language and understands your family context can make it easier to get to what you're really feeling.

Frequently asked therapy questions

Can I get counselling in Punjabi in Canada?

Yes. The therapists on this page offer sessions in Punjabi and English, online and, with some therapists, in person. Each therapist can see clients only in the provinces listed on their profile.

Is there a Punjabi counsellor in Brampton or Mississauga?

Yes. Several Punjabi-speaking therapists on First Session are based in Ontario and see clients in person or online across the province, including Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto.

Is there a Punjabi counsellor in Surrey or Vancouver?

Yes. First Session has Punjabi-speaking therapists based in British Columbia who offer online therapy across BC, and some see clients in person.

Does insurance cover Punjabi counselling, and how much does it cost?

Coverage depends on the therapist's designation, not the language they speak. Most workplace benefit plans cover some combination of registered psychotherapists, social workers, clinical counsellors and psychologists, up to a yearly limit. On First Session, most individual sessions cost $130–$185 before tax, with a median of $160 (paid sessions, November 2025 to November 2026). Learn more about therapy costs and coverage.

Can I mix Punjabi and English in my sessions?

Yes. Many clients switch between languages depending on the topic. Mention what feels most comfortable in your free consultation or first session.

How do I know which therapist is the right fit?

Fit matters more than anything else in therapy. Watch each therapist's intro video, read what they focus on, and book a free consultation with the one who feels right. If your first choice isn't the right fit, it's okay to try someone else.
