I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Certified Canadian Counsellor on Vancouver Island. I live in Sidney, BC, with my husband Daniel, our former Great Dane Luna, and our baby cats Quincy & Cleo. I have a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University (Vancouver, BC), a Certificate in Community Counselling from Vancouver Community College (Vancouver, BC), and a Degree in Physical Therapy from Angeles University (Philippines). I am a member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

As a therapist, clinical counselling supervisor and owner of Ginger Henderson Counselling Services, my team of highly trained Counsellors are skilled, compassionate and resourceful and there to support you through whatever may be troubling you. If you are suffering through trauma, substance abuse, life changes, a loss of a loved one, parenting or relationship issues, depression, anxiety or simply wanting to change your life patterns, we are here. We work with clients from various backgrounds and strive to make every client feel comfortable and important.

Finding someone to trust as you are managing through turbulent times is stressful, and can be overwhelming. I thank you for considering me as part of this journey. Specializing in strength-based approaches to assist individuals, families, and couples to find balance in daily living. I work hard to build solid relationships through understanding and trust while offering an opportunity to challenge growth in my clients though healing of the past and paving new paths to the future.

If you are seeking to understand your relationships, what your deepest values are, and who you are, I provide a safe place for you to explore these questions. If you have suffered through the experience of needing to hide your authentic self, we can collaborate to discover the life you are meant to live. I would like to help you be the author of the next chapter of your life story. I am interested in hearing your experience of life and learning how you move through the path set out before you. Together, we’ll tap into inner resources to help you on your journey and explore core values that will illuminate the steps ahead.

I offer evidence based, compassionate and collaborative psychological treatment for teens, adults and couples. I seek to create a safe, nurturing relationship so that my clients can process, explore, and heal from the challenges that are keeping them stuck.

I prioritize safety and trust above all other factors in building relationships. My clients are people looking for help with problems not limited to physical or sexual abuse, childhood abuse, parents seeking guidance with child/youth sexuality, ADHD, or traumatic loss. I have an extensive background in trauma/PTSD, suicidality/depression, and death & dying. I'm skilled at helping clients begin the difficult work of acknowledging pain and hurt. I work extensively with kids, youth, and adults around ADHD, and have worked with addictions and mental health issues. Crimes Victims Assistance registered. Currently accepting new clients.

Clients who seek me out are interested in developing a deeper experience of life. Their journey may be precipitated by depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, but they are often interested in more than symptom relief. They are seeking to develop a stronger sense of self, or an optimized experience of life. This may take the form of becoming the most effective they can be in their personal and professional lives, or it can take the form of embarking on, or continuing, a spiritual search for meaning and connection.

Reaching out for support can be daunting and I work to make the process as easy as possible. As a relationship specialist, I support individuals, couples and families to develop meaningful, satisfying connections with themselves and others. I often support individuals and couples navigating life transitions, parenthood, infertility, pregnancy loss, responses to trauma and feelings of anxiety and depression. Whether you bring a specific concern or generally want to feel more connection and joy, I provide a compassionate space to find healing. My collaborative approach brings together my experience with your goals, hopes and needs.

I believe in an individualized, caring and respectful approach when working with clients to become more resilient and effective in their lives. Many people believe that the skills and motivation needed to maneuver all of life’s obstacles are automatically within all of us. But many of us learn ineffective ways of communicating, develop unhealthy patterns or find ourselves stuck with no idea of how to move forward. Having a dedicated time to examine patterns, build skills and develop a deeper understanding of ones’ strengths can help build a greater sense of wellness and clarity in our lives.

She supports children, youth, adults, and families to heal from traumatic experiences, process grief and loss, reduce mental health/psychiatric distress, work on childhood and family of origin issues, and explore relational challenges of abandonment/neglect. She is honoured to serve the Sea to Sky community seeing clients in-person at her office in Squamish.

Hi! I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor & Clinical Director at Scott Sheere Wellness, providing counselling services online and in Vancouver’s Mt. Pleasant community. Using a range of therapeutic modalities I provide trauma-focused therapy for adults, with the bulk of my practice focusing on the experience of cis & trans women. I have specialized training in complex trauma, post-traumatic stress and dissociation. I am trained in the use of Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindful Self-Compassion, Motivational Interviewing and attachment-based somatic therapies.

I work with folks who are experiencing post-traumatic stress responses, anxiety, depression, the effects of abuse and early attachment wounds. Through a relational, attachment-based somatic approach to counselling, I can help clients develop a stronger sense of self, increase their capacity to tolerate emotions, learn to self-regulate the nervous system, repair relational injuries, get "unstuck", and heal from the effects of trauma in an embodied way.

Are you finding that you feel stuck in the same negative thought patterns, or are struggling in your relationships? Is your lack of motivation or anxiety and depression spilling over in your day-to-day routine. Have you experienced a recent loss and are feeling lonely and hopelessness? These difficult emotions can be challenging to deal with daily and even harder to figure out the first step to a solution. I work with co-parents, couples, adults, adolescents, and children who are feeling overwhelmed in their daily life. Together we create goals by focusing on values and connection and by moving towards flexibility and acceptance.

If you’re feeling tired, stuck, and alone - struggling with issues from the past and worries about the future, know that healing IS possible. Being held back by anxiety, depression, or relationship issues causes unnecessary suffering. Together we can uncover and resolve sources of unhelpful patterns so you can adjust and move forward. Imagine - no longer feeling stuck, no longer believing something is deeply wrong with you. Imagine living fully.

Our team aims to help you create and discover a life worth living for and have fulfilling relationships with yourself and with others. Living from a place of fear/anger/resentment right now might be impacting how you see the world every single day. It may also affect your relationships with your family members, partners, and/or children (young and adults), friends, even coworkers, and you need help to make sense of it all. Every day, you may experience conflict, lack of connection, fear of something, or other challenges that gets in the way of you finding that sense of belonging and ownership over your life.

Negative life experiences can have lasting effects on many aspects of life, including mood, self-esteem, relationships, employment, parenting, and overall wellness. Sometimes the ways that the past affects the present are unclear or unknown, and sometimes the past feels as if it's happening now. The path to healing is often through exploring and addressing these past hurts, which can be extremely intimidating and also rewarding.

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.
