Ramneet Lotay

Growing up in the Peel Region as the daughter of Punjabi immigrants, Ramneet Lotay learned early that genuine care for others is its own kind of discipline. That grounding shaped a career in social work focused on sitting with people in moments of real difficulty — not to fix them, but to help them find the resilience they already carry. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Windsor with a health focus, and a Bachelor of Social Work with Honours from York University, and is registered with both the OCSWSSW and the OASW.

Ramneet works with teenagers, young adults, men, women, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, sleep difficulties, domestic abuse, self-esteem, identity, and the particular exhaustion that comes when work follows someone home on their phone and never quite lets go. She brings particular depth to multicultural adjustment and immigration, and to the tensions young South Asian women often face between cultural expectation and personal identity. Sessions are available online, and she offers counselling in English, Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu.

Her approach draws on feminist, anti-oppressive, and strengths-based frameworks, with narrative therapy woven through. The relationship itself is central to her practice — she believes that being genuinely heard is not a small thing, and builds her work from that conviction outward.
