Harjinder K. Heer is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. He holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Harj has over 15 years of experience working with children, youth, and families in the Lower Mainland.
Harj was born in England to parents from India. Growing up in a large family, he learned the importance of teamwork and support. After completing his Bachelor’s degree, Harj and his family moved to Canada in the early 2000s. There, he began working with youth and families in various roles.
He gained experience as a Youth Care Worker and Youth Counsellor, and later transitioned to Youth Mental Health Therapist. Harj worked with the Surrey RCMP, Surrey Schools, and other youth-focused organisations. His experiences with immigrant communities and marginalized youth provided valuable insights into the challenges many young people face.
A pivotal moment in his career was volunteering at a child and youth shelter in Mumbai, India. Harj connected with young people who had faced severe hardships. This experience deepened his belief that peace and happiness come from within and that everyone’s life is unique and deserving of understanding.
