Mala Sharma
CLIENT CARE AND PRACTICE MANAGER
As the Client Care and Practice Manager here at Peachey Counselling, Mala ensures that you have all the support you need while overseeing our daily operations… making her an essential member of our practice team.
Let’s get to know each other…
It is my goal to always be empathetic, so that when I pick up the phone, you are getting the support and understanding you need.
I think the biggest misconception about mental health is believing problems are too small to get stressed about. Everyone is their own expert when it comes to their mental health. If it affects them in anyway, it’s already too big.
Mental health is critical for our everyday success. If we do not feel motivated or good about ourselves, we are already behind. Prioritizing mental health allows us to take on new opportunities with the mindset that we can and will achieve amazing things.
I really want you to know that Peachey Counselling is truly is a safe space to access services. Therapy is a transformative process, and I am honoured to be able to support you in your journey.
I’m here for you.

Q&A
-
After graduating, I found myself not motivated or interested in my current field. Seeing how many injustices exist and the lack of equity made me want to do more for those in my community.

If you are new to therapy or Peachey Counselling and need some guidance, I’m here to help to help in anyway I can.
Whether that’s choosing the best therapist for you, or answering questions about insurance coverage, or assisting you to book an appointment.
And if you are already a client of ours, I want to help facilitate making your experience here, an easy, welcoming and positive process.
At the end of the day, I would like a client of the practice to say that Peachey Counselling is a safe space to seek support for whatever they are going through.
