Therapists in Delta, BC

I use a collaborative, person-centred approach. I am aware of the constraints and social inequalities people face, which act as both a cause of mental health issues and a barrier to receiving help. I work with those experiencing various concerns through a trauma-informed, social justice and anti-oppressive framework. I value healing through connection, sharing and community. Growth is a lifelong journey, and I provide a judgment-free safe space for clients to explore their inner world. Compassion, authenticity, and cultural sensitivity are my practice's underlying values.

Why Work With a Specialized Couples Therapist & Relationship Counsellor? Hi, My name is Shelley Coates. I am a couples therapist who helps couples have the best relationship possible. I also help individuals heal past relationship pain and patterns that prevent them from creating the kind of relationship that they want. I aim to establish a compassionate and non-judgmental relationship with you. I am trained in the most effective therapy techniques available today including the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy,which helps couples support each other and deepen their connection to each other.

Are you a woman or couple dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, or stress? I have more than 25 years of experience working with people in crisis as a registered nurse and counsellor. I specialize in women's care and couple's counselling and help individuals cope with life's difficulties such as a crisis in partnership, losing a loved one, reproductive health challenges, menopause, and many more. My clients appreciate my genuineness and warmth. They express feeling comfortable, supported, and heard during our sessions.

My practice is grounded in the science of Attachment Theory and its fundamental role in understanding how we are wired for connection. My passion and focus is in 1) helping couples find the loving, secure connection they long for with each other, and 2) helping individuals heal from trauma and anxiety. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples, which is the single most effective form of couple's therapy out there, bar none. I am certified in EMDR and trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR through the Parnell Institute. You can find more detailed information at my website: www.relationsense.com

You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and uncertain, and are spending lots of time thinking, second guessing yourself, and searching for meaning. Perhaps you feel like you can't think anymore; that you are too depleted to go beyond your essential day-to-day tasks. You might be struggling to conceive and experiencing self-doubt, jealousy, and a lack of control. Or, perhaps you are pregnant or already a parent, and are feeling pulled along an emotional roller coaster where you're not in the driver's seat. You might remember a time when you felt more confident, clear, and connected, and are wondering how to get back there.

I work with all ages and all issues, but I specialize in young adults and adolescents, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergence, chronic illness and disabilities. This can come with a lot of anxiety, depression, anger, intrusive thoughts, and feelings of despair. My clients want, firstly, a bit of relief from their symptoms, and longer-term, the hope that change is possible and a plan to achieve it.

It is perfectly normal to hit speed bumps or even complete road blocks in our lives. Whether big or small, counselling can help individuals feel connected and supported while they are experiencing and resolving challenges. In my practice, I focus on short-term goals such as immediate symptom relief, and long-term goals that explore more enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting that often keep us stuck in our current challenges.

I love people, and I feel most alive when I am supporting others to reach their fullest potential. I have completed my Masters in Counselling Psychology at Adler University and hold the designation of a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I work from a Person-Centered perspective, honoring the inherent worth of each client. I believe that the client is the expert of their own experience and I desire to understand the way of being of each of my clients.

At Eagle Tree Counselling & Wellness I support people with significant life changes - whether diagnosed with serious illness, living with chronic pain, anticipating end of life, or dealing with losses of people or pets close to you. Loss can impact people with changes to job, home, relationship, physical or cognitive ability, and more. Some of my work is with family caregivers, nurses and healthcare professionals who seek more self care, stress management and coping skills. Support available for managing anxiety, depression, effects of childhood trauma as an adult, and other challenges that prevent you from living the life you want.

In life there are many different voices telling us who we are, what to do, what our lives should look like. Counselling is a protected and sacred space where we take a courageous and honest look at our lives, what we’ve been through, and who we want to become. Therapy is a refuge and a safe context to let down our guard and know that what is revealed will be held with tenderness and reverence. Throughout my life, I have received this sort of attention and non-judgmental concern and it has been instrumental in helping me mature as an individual, manage life’s disappointments, and navigate the intricacies of giving and receiving love.

It can feel like a heavy and exhausting life, managing the constant churning in your mind in parallel with keeping up with everything that you have on your plate. You may have heard that counselling can help but it's hard to imagine how. You may be thinking the problems are obvious I just need to logically map my way out of this. Many years back with a scientist's perspective, it was hard for me to imagine how counselling could possibly help me out of it. Many years of training and practice later, I have humbly witnessed numerous clients overcoming problems and experiencing new possibilities, identities and futures.

I integrate a trauma informed, socially just and culturally responsive approach to my sessions in which I honour the unique and diverse identity narratives and life experiences each client holds. I will help you explore how your past, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours contribute to your current struggles, while exploring different ways of being that invite greater opportunity for joy, freedom, meaning and connection. With a curious and empathetic attitude, I will work collaboratively with you, at your pace, to help you find clarity, meaning and help you uncover the tools your already have within you to move forward.

Life is a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected challenges. Along this path, we sometimes find ourselves struggling to navigate through the complexities of our emotions and relationships. I am thrilled to introduce myself as a therapist with a passion for empowering people to overcome their struggles, I bring many years of experience as a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and perinatal mental health.

Hi I'm Scott. During my lengthy career as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist I have continually cultivated my expertise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and complementary modalities. Through my Masters Degree in CBT and additional professional training I have developed specialized skills to help you address the difficulties that you experience in life because of anxiety, depression, anger management issues, fear, low self esteem, and more. We all need some help getting started sometimes, and I want collaborate with you to help you reach your goals and live your life to its fullest.

Therapy is a dynamic exchange between two people; as a client you are gently invited to bring all parts of yourself – confusion, joy, brokenness and insight – through the process of acceptance, integration, and healing.

For many, counselling is an opportunity to evaluate life changes, relationships stressors, and attachment patterns. For others, it can be their only opportunity to emphasize time for themselves and to experience feeling like they are a priority. I recognize the courage and vulnerability it takes to self-reflect and identify areas which you would like to develop insight and emotional intelligence in. I encourage my clients to attach themselves to the process of personal growth and self-discovery rather than simply the end goal, as this creates opportunities to generate self-compassion and gratitude for your strengths and abilities.

I am interested in working with individuals, couples and families who are experiencing or have experienced anxiety, depression, loss, grief, trauma, eating disorders, life transitions, and relationship issues. Or perhaps you are just looking to live a more fulfilling and joyful life and want to explore new ways to do that?
