about

Our Mental Health Counsellor

Malak has an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology and brings a diverse background in psychology, mental health, research, and supporting children, youth, and families.

Malak welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds, who are navigating questions related to identity, belonging, relationships, life transitions, and personal development. 

Having immigrated to Canada from Egypt and later changed his own career direction from
microbiology to psychology, Malak understands that major life changes can bring questions about identity, belonging, expectations, and the direction we want our lives to take. These experiences have shaped his interest in creating a supportive and welcoming space where people can talk openly about what they are going through and work toward practical changes that feel
meaningful to them.

In his work at the Coconut Vigor, Malak provides mental health support, psychoeducation, and coaching focused on practical skills that can be applied to everyday life.
