About me

My name is Ayen Mabor, and I bring more than 20 years of experience delivering professional counselling services in Calgary and across Alberta and Ontario. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and hold professional registration in Alberta and Ontario.

My lived experience as a Black refugee from South Sudan shaped my path into social work and counselling. It allows me to understand how culture, identity, displacement, and social systems affect mental health and access to care. Clients value my non-judgmental, transparent, and compassionate counselling style.

In our counselling sessions, we focus on understanding your experiences, values, beliefs, and goals. Together, we build practical strategies that support emotional stability, personal growth, and long-term resilience.
