Our coaching sessions offer a warm, collaborative space to explore identity, strengthen confidence, and plan for the future. Whether you are a trans, nonbinary, or gender-expansive adult seeking support with embodiment, life transitions, or creative self-expression, or a parent/caregiver wanting to deeply support your trans or nonbinary child, our work is designed to meet you where you are. Together, we focus on practical tools, meaningful reflection, and active steps toward your goals.

We’re also both parents of teens, so we understand the unique joys and challenges of navigating these years. Clayre is a trans queer woman, partner, and parent with a rich history of working one‑on‑one with transgender teens and adults. Laura is a cis queer woman, partner, and parent with a thorough background in advocating for trans rights, supporting families, and building communities of care where families can thrive. Our approach is deeply relational, drawing on years of experience in somatic work, creative practice, and LGBTQ advocacy. You’ll leave each session with greater clarity, concrete next steps, and the confidence that you don’t have to walk this path alone.

Sessions follow WPATH SOC8 and Canadian care guidelines, with a focus on consent, clarity, and respect. Most assessments are completed in one or two sessions.

Salam, I’m Laith (he/him)—a clinical counselling practicum student therapist in Vancouver completing supervised training with Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy (starting May 1, 2026). My path into counselling comes through education, refugee and resettlement services, and community-based care, alongside lived experience as someone from a marginalized population. I’ve had the honour of supporting refugees, diverse families, and LGBTQIA2S+ communities, including through peer support work with local healthcare providers.

Through this work, I’ve seen how much strength, creativity, and care people carry—sometimes while living through profound loss, disruption, or ongoing uncertainty. My intention is to create a space where you feel genuinely welcomed and supported, without needing to explain or translate yourself.

My counselling approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and cultural humility. I work relationally and collaboratively, and I hold deep respect for the ways you’ve learned to cope and survive. I draw from person-centred care, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches, and I’m beginning to integrate trauma-informed practice through clinical supervision with Laura Hoge, RSW, LCSW.

I also bring an experiential and creative lens. Alongside conversation, I may invite reflection through imagery, metaphor, or gentle experimentation—always at your pace and with your consent. My background in sports, coaching, performance, and writing informs how I think about movement, story, and expression as pathways toward clarity and connection.

I offer low-barrier counselling for adults and older teens (16+) navigating identity questions, relationships, resettlement, and life transitions. I also offer counselling in Arabic for clients in Canada who feel more at ease working in their first language.
