It's so nice to meet you

I'm Noha Elhakeem. I’ve always been drawn to understanding people—what moves them, what holds them back, and how we can all live more authentically. Since I was young, I knew I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. As the eldest of four sisters, I initially thought my path was in teaching. But over time, I became fascinated by the human mind, personality, and the ways we navigate our inner worlds. This passion led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Concordia University in Montreal, my hometown.
My career took me north, where I worked as a teacher and community worker in Kuujjuaq, an Inuit village in northern Quebec. It was there that I discovered my deep connection to Canada’s North—a place that felt like home. In 2009, after getting married, I moved to Yellowknife, NWT, where my family and I have built our lives.
After years of working in the mental health field—and undergoing my own personal and professional growth—I made the decision to return to school, earning my Master’s in Counselling Psychology. This journey reinforced my belief in the power of self-awareness, connection, and aligned living.
At my core, I believe that growth is a lifelong process, that we are always becoming. Whether through my own experiences or the work I do with others, I’ve learned that healing and self-discovery don’t happen in isolation—they happen in community, in conversation, in those small moments of clarity that change everything.

My Approach
Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy or overwhelming. While healing takes courage, it can also bring moments of laughter, clarity, and lightness. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted for exactly who you are.
I show up as my true self—genuine, approachable, and non-judgmental. Together, we’ll explore your challenges and strengths, helping you create the life you’ve always wanted.
At SoulShift Counselling, I take a warm, integrative approach, blending values, parts and acceptance work with mindfulness to help you build self-awareness and emotional flexibility. Therapy with me is all about collaboration and understanding, creating a safe space where you can reconnect with your true self and feel empowered to live authentically.

My Passions

I believe psychedelics are the future of mental health care—but they must be used responsibly. With the right framework, they can help break barriers, process trauma, and promote healing beyond what traditional therapy may offer.
My goal is to bring harm reduction, integration support, and eventually psychedelic-assisted therapy to the Northwest Territories, offering a safe, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approach. If you’re curious, I’m here to guide you with care and respect for your unique journey.

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different cultures offer valuable traditions that recognize the mind-body-spirit connection. At SoulShift Counselling, I respect and integrate your cultural identity, values, and experiences into the healing process. Healing should feel like a return to yourself, not a departure from who you are.

I’m passionate about integrating nature into therapy because healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about experiencing and feeling. Whether through Forest Bathing, Blue Therapy, or an outdoor session, nature offers a space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect. At SoulShift Counselling, I bring this nature-based healing into my work, helping you reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
