Trauma-informed therapy for individuals and couples in Lakeside (Halifax) and across Nova Scotia.

A young man with dark curly hair, glasses, and a beard, wearing a green t-shirt and gray pants, sitting on a chair with a leather back, smiling with his head resting on his hand. He has tattoos on his arms, and is wearing white sneakers and a black watch. Behind him is a plant with variegated leaves, and a white wall with an air conditioning unit.

I'm Kartik Saini (he/him), a Registered Counselling Therapist based in Lakeside, Nova Scotia.

My practice, Therapy with Kartik, is a place where all parts of you are met with warmth and openness

Therapy with me is collaborative, an unfolding process where you set the pace, and we explore your story together, piece by piece.

My approach

My work is relational and trauma-informed at its core. I believe real healing happens when we feel seen, heard and witnessed. I draw on approaches that were pivotal in my own healing journey, including Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT) for couples.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief, identity, relational pain, trauma, or simply a season of life that feels too heavy to carry alone, I want to understand your whole story, not just the parts that are easy to name.

A space designed for privacy, presence, and ease.

All your appointments will take place in our soothing office environment with fully private room, complimentary tea and water, and individualized care.
