Individual Counselling in North Vancouver

Sometimes it is one clear thing. More often it is a build-up — sleep that has gone, patience that has thinned, a sense that you are managing rather than living.

I offer individual counselling for adults and young people in North Vancouver, and online anywhere in British Columbia.

How individual counselling helps

One-to-one work gives you a space with no agenda but your own. We slow things down enough to see what is actually happening — the patterns underneath the symptoms, and what keeps them in place.

Some of the work is practical: tools for managing anxiety, low mood or stress that you can use straight away. Some is slower, looking at how you learned to cope and whether those strategies still serve you.

My approach

My work is integrative and evidence-based, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment-based work, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based approaches, narrative therapy and CBT. Which of those we use depends on you, and I will explain what I am doing and why as we go.

Who this is for

• Anxiety, worry and overwhelm
• Low mood and depression
• Stress and burnout
• Trauma and its after-effects
• Grief and loss
• Major life transitions
• Difficulty with boundaries or self-worth
• Feeling stuck without knowing quite why

What to expect

Sessions are 50 minutes at $160, in person at my North Vancouver office on West 17th Street or by secure video anywhere in British Columbia. Many extended health plans reimburse counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and detailed receipts are provided for every session.
