Do you often find yourself searching for answers, struggling to escape the feeling that “the world wouldn’t care if I weren’t here”? Are you looking for a fellow traveller to walk alongside you as you confront life’s inevitable suffering?

As a Ukrainian, I learned early that life doesn’t always offer stability, but it taught me that we heal not by avoiding pain, but by staying connected to what makes us human.
If you struggle with emotional triggers or relationship patterns, you’re in the right place. Many clients come to me wanting more calm, better sleep, and a deeper connection to themselves as they move toward lasting change.

You are someone who handles things. You always have. But lately, handling things has started to feel like surviving them and you are tired of surviving.
The stress has become structural. The anxiety lives in your body now, not just your mind. You push through because stopping feels impossible. You push through because everything you have built depends on you continuing to function. You are not broken. You are a high-performing person carrying more than high performance was designed to hold.
I am Iffy Nwankwo, Registered Counselor (CCC) and founder of Hartwell Counselling Therapy Group-offering virtual therapy in BC.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel caught, like we don't understand why we feel the way we do or behave in certain ways. Our past experiences can create patterns and habits that might be impacting us in negative ways. Our past doesn't have to define our future. We can learn to slow down and expand our capacity to heal and grow. I work from a trauma-informed, and relational approach. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment where you can safely explore your emotions, take risks, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
