My name is Haley and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I offer in-person, video, and phone counselling to individuals and couples in the Lower Mainland, the Kootenays, and throughout BC. I work with a variety of clinical issues and support those experiencing anxiety, depression, self-worth, self-esteem, and body image issues, relational stress, school, work, and life transitions. My clinical work is guided by the therapeutic relationship which allows for collaborative work with clients through a strengths-based and relational lens.

My experience working in Social Work and Counselling has afforded me the opportunity to work with diverse and vulnerable clients in clinical settings, as part of an interdisciplinary team, and individually in grassroots environments. This combination of experience has shaped the counsellor I am, which is one that works from a trauma-informed person-centered approach and incorporates a mixture of mainstream counselling approaches such as trauma treatment, cognitive-behavioural therapy, solution- focused therapy, strengths-based counselling, mindfulness , and somatic psychotherapy).

I am currently accepting couples and individuals in my practice currently! Using a collaborative, supportive, and non-judgemental approach, I empower my clients to work towards their goals, overcome obstacles, and create new, healthier patterns in their lives. I help a wide variety of clients with anxiety, depression, body image, life transitions, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, and other challenges. Please feel free to book yourself into my schedule via emmadonaldcounselling.janeapp.com or reach out to me to ask any questions and learn more about my approach.

I support adults and adolescents who are struggling with a range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, substance use disorders, sleep disorders, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and others. My clients often arrive feeling at the end of their rope - lost, alone, angry, afraid, overwhelmed, thoroughly drained, hopeless, or sometimes just completely stuck. They want their lives to be better, but don’t know how to begin to identify steps to take or how to manage that change. They want help dealing with difficult emotions and they want their lives to make sense.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. Together we have worked on various concerns including, but not limited to, depression and anxiety disorders, addiction concerns, grief including loss of health, employment, death or injury of a loved one and relationship issues. In my practice, I offer professional and confidential services that encourages people to realize their strengths and expertise in their own lives. Everyone has a different “right” way of doing things, so I take the role of the facilitator to help people gain greater insight into their concerns.

Do you feel stuck, anxious, or like you are living in "survival" mode? Feel like you are crumbling on the inside, trying to hold it all together with work, your family, and/or in your relationship. Maybe you are desiring a change but cannot seem to make it happen. Or you are experiencing a challenging relationship or struggling to regulate difficult emotions such as worry, anger, or sadness. I help adults and youth overcome stress, anxiety, or disconnection so that they can do more of what they love and deepen their relationships with the people that matter the most.
