Therapists in Mount Currie, BC

You are a deep thinker, a psychology nerd and a truth seeker. You are seeking what it means to be living a meaningful life. Finding your soul's purpose is one of your driving principles in life. Perhaps you identify with an anarchist spirit that is determined to design your life and the structure of your relationships for freedom. You are motivated by the fear of leaving this earth, not having lived your life to your fullest, completely governed by unconscious drives, or not having examined your suffering. Perhaps you can no longer bear not speaking your truth and living your most authentic expressions of self.

我透過情感聚焦治療（EFT）幫助夫婦加強彼此的聯繫。呢個方法可以令感情更緊密。通常情況下，我面對嘅夫婦問題好似土撥鼠同烏龜嘅故事。土撥鼠鍾意冒險，烏龜則鍾意穩定。佢地通常相處得唔錯。但當生活中出現困難時，佢地嘅差異就會凸顯出來。土撥鼠可能會感到孤獨跟住發火，而烏龜會覺得被批評跟住想隱藏起黎。呢啲情況會令佢地之間嘅距離更加遙遠。想要做出正面嘅改變嗎？立即預約您嘅時間喺kelvinchung.ca，一齊展開呢段旅程啦。

對生活失去熱情、不知道人生方向？和父母觀念衝突不知如何抉擇？似乎總是愛上「錯的人」，怎麼辦？在這裏，我是你的傾聽者，你可以毫無保留的分享你的想法和情緒，不用擔心被評判、被說教。無論來訪者因什麼前來，愛、歸屬、被尊重、被肯定的需求和缺失似乎是個永恆的核心。我會結合你的需求和實際情況制定專屬的治療目標，並幫助你提升自我肯定、接納真實的自己和增加對不確定性的包容度。

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor since 2002 with BCACC. I understand that life is no perfect and challenges are along the way. With the belief that everyone has potential to thrive, my compassion, professional ethics, positive attitudes and over 25 years of counselling experiences have brought great commitment to my counselling career. I have worked with people from all walks of life, immigrants, refugees and international students for the past many years. And I am humble to have the privilege to be by their side during their challenging times.

Welcoming new clients for virtual appointments only! My areas of focus revolve around the relationship with self and others (friends, partners, families), life transitions, and grief and loss. We will work together to reconnect you with yourself and make sense of the world around you. My hope is to help you find understanding, acceptance and clarity so you can get unstuck and choose a way forward. My experience includes working with people struggling with anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, self-love, complex PTSD/trauma, family conflict, and personality disorders.

“ I believe sharing our stories about our personal experiences can awaken our awareness, stretch our hearts, and help us heal” Do you feel like you are on a path of self sabotage and feel stuck? Do you live mostly in your head where it is noisy and chaotic? I believe you can transform negative limiting beliefs, never ending fears and uncertainties. I want to help you build the skill to make healthier choices in relationships, jobs and lifestyle that don’t drain the life out of you. I know it takes courage to reach out for help. I promise I am easy to talk to and aim to make therapy both an enjoyable and forward moving process.

I am passionate and dedicated to providing psychotherapy from a systemic, holistic (bio-psycho-social-spiritual) and client-centered approach. I believe that you are the expert in yourself and my role is to support you in finding your own pathway of health. I am here to help you and your loved ones to live your lives to the fullest!

In my counselling approach, my focus is establishing trusting relationships with my clients. I offer accessible and personalized counseling sessions for adults, children, youth, caregivers, and families, available both in person and online from the convenience of your home. I work at a pediatrics clinic and a non-profit agency, where my focus is on providing support for children, youth, and parents. Prior to embracing my role as a clinical counsellor, I served as an office manager at Ministry of Children and Development, an experience that inspired me to pursue a more active role in supporting clients.

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.

Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment. I believe that is what we may need in our lives, and I am able to serve you in this area. For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

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. My clients often come in stating that they feel stuck no matter how hard they try to change. Often times they feel tired of the same setbacks, don't know how to move forward or that their past trauma continually effects their present day functioning. 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.
