OUR TEAM
Esha Shoker MCP, RCC - Clinic Founder & Lead Counsellor
With over 18 years in the behavioural sciences and eight years in clinical counselling, I support individuals, couples, and families through life’s most difficult transitions including marriage and pre-marital counselling, trauma, grief, burnout, chronic pain, addiction, and relationship breakdowns.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), ICBC-approved therapist, and Level 1 Clinical Supervisor, I bring structure, warmth, and clear direction to every session. Clients often describe therapy with me as focused, grounded, and results-driven.
I also serve as an Oral Adjudicator with City University’s Master of Counselling program, a role I’ve proudly held since 2020, supporting the next generation of counsellors. My earlier decade with the Surrey School Board in early childhood and special education continues to shape my work with families and professionals navigating change and stress.
Rooted in my Sikh Punjabi upbringing, I offer a culturally informed, judgment-free space where therapy can be conducted in English, Punjabi, or Hindi. My approach integrates CBT, Motivational Interviewing, EFT, Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed care to help you feel balanced, confident, and clear about your next steps
Terence Goyel RCIC, BCom - Operations Lead
With a Bachelor of Commerce from UBC and a Graduate Diploma in Immigration and Citizenship Law from Queen’s University, I bring a mix of business experience and people-focused thinking to my role as Operations Lead at WellnessTalks Counselling. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in client relations and business development with global organizations such as Coca-Cola and NBC Sports Group learning the importance of collaboration, integrity, and service excellence.
My wife, Esha Shoker, founded the clinic with the vision of creating a safe, inclusive space for healing. As her partner in life and business, I share that same commitment to compassion, growth, and connection. In my role, I ensure that our operations run smoothly so our counsellors can focus on what matters most, client care. From improving systems and processes to supporting community partnerships, I strive to make every client experience meaningful and seamless.
Outside of work, I enjoy concerts, staying active through hockey, golf, skiing, and swimming, and I’m an avid Canucks fan! I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, and living with balance, movement, and compassion is essential to a fulfilling life.
