You’re not just parenting. You’re holding two worlds together.
You manage work, the household, school forms and endless responsibilities. You may also be translating, supporting family back home and carrying the pressure to make immigration worth it.
Lately:
-
Your mind won’t switch off, even at 2 a.m.
-
Small things—a form, a phone call or another request—feel bigger than they should.
-
Rest doesn’t make you feel rested.
-
You feel guilty slowing down when so much depends on you.
-
You have little energy or patience left by the end of the day.
-
You’ve lost track of who you are outside of caring for everyone else.
From the outside, you’re managing.
Inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed and disconnected from yourself.
You don’t have to wait until you fall apart to ask for support.

This is for you if....
You’re tired, even after rest
You wake up tired and get through the day on willpower.
Sleep doesn’t reach the kind of tired you feel.
You’re burned out but still functioning
You continue showing up for work and family.
Most people would never guess how empty you feel while doing it.
You’re anxious and always “on”
Your mind keeps planning, worrying and preparing for what could go wrong.
Even when nothing urgent is happening, you cannot fully relax.
You’ve lost yourself in your responsibilities
You know who you are as a parent, partner or worker.
But you have lost track of who you are outside those roles.
Sessions are available in English and Russian. You are welcome to move between both languages during a session.
Online Stress, Anxiety & Burnout Counselling in BC
I get it — because I've lived it
I’m Saltanat, a Counselling Therapist in Training providing online counselling under clinical supervision.
As an immigrant and a parent, I understand how much energy it can take to build a life in a new country while caring for everyone around you.
I support immigrant parents dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion and overwhelm.
Our sessions focus on your real life—not generic advice that assumes you have extra time, money or family nearby.
