Therapists in Harrison Hot Springs, BC

My work is relational, emotion-focused, and experiential. Relational means establishing a unique and real connection with people — i.e. not being a “blank slate” therapist.

It means offering actual in-session experiences of doing things a different way — working together to form new and preferred patterns that are conducive to one’s therapy goal(s).

Together, we can explore and discover what you need to feel supported to overcome these challenges and to experience growth and change.

Hello, my name is Christine Ellis and I am a registered counsellor with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association. I am also the creator of the How to Leave a Narcissistic Relationship Workshop Series. Do you feel anxious in relationships? Do you feel obsessed about a relationship in your life? Do you know the relationship you are in is not good for you and you stay anyway? Have you experienced a relationship that was abusive? Do you feel alone and need a safe space to process the challenging relationship in your life?

Are you feeling exhausted, and confused as to how you got to this point? Do you feel as though something is fundamentally "wrong" with you? This fear can feel like an invisible burden and make it feel like it’s impossible to live and embody your true authentic self. The discomfort over your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors may have led you down the seemingly endless path of trying to figure out what's "wrong" with you, and how to "fix" it. My job as your counsellor is to remind you that you are already whole just the way you are so you can heal and process the emotions and experiences that are keeping you stuck.

As your counselor, I create a calm and compassionate space for you to tell your story. I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is paramount in creating authentic change.

I collaborate with you to guide you through your healing journey where you can heal from the past and move forward to live presently with self-compassion and self worth.
