My counselling practice focuses on relationships. I am a compassionate and collaborative counsellor who believes meaningful change happens in safe, attuned relationships. I offer a grounded space where you feel seen and supported while exploring patterns, challenges, and growth. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in British Columbia and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). My work is rooted in Interpersonal Neurobiology, exploring how the brain develops through relationships and how new pathways can form. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique wiring, life stage, and relational context.

Christina Fenske
Why I Became a Counsellor & Social Worker
At the heart of my work is a simple yet profound truth: every person carries resilience and strength within them. My journey into counselling and social work grew from a deep desire to walk alongside people through life’s challenges — not to “fix” them, but to empower them to discover their own healing and growth.
My approach is holistic and strengths-based, recognizing that each individual’s story is unique.
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why I draw on a wide range of evidence-based practices:
- EMDR, IFS, Narrative
- Vagus Nerve, Somatic, ACT
- CBT & DBT

Healing is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you were before the world asked you to forget. Trauma, stress, oppression, and relational wounds can leave you feeling fragmented or unsure of yourself. I believe we are born whole, and that over time through trauma, adversity, harmful systems, or painful experiences, parts of us adapt to survive. In counselling, we gently meet these parts with compassion and curiosity, creating space for safety, clarity, and Self-led healing so you can live balanced and unburdened. Healing is possible, and I believe that you already have a deep well of wisdom and resilience within you.

You may be feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to repair trust after hurt or emotional distance. You might be navigating a major relationship transition such as commitment decisions, premarital preparation, separation, or rebuilding after betrayal. You may notice the same patterns repeating and want help understanding what is happening beneath the surface. Ultimately, you want more emotional closeness, clearer communication, and a relationship that feels secure, respectful, and supportive rather than exhausting, tense, or confusing.

With deep respect for the human journey, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a steady presence to this work. Through a relational, body-centered approach, we will explore your experience holistically— listening to sensations, emotions, protective patterns, and the wisdom beneath it all.

Hi, I'm Ramona. I’m a social worker, trauma counsellor, ADHD/academic coach, & researcher.
I support kids, teens, adults, & families with acute, chronic, & complex trauma/PTSD, plus challenges with identity, relationships, life transitions, & executive function.

As a professional Art Therapist, I believe in the transformative power of the arts and expression to support healing. My approach is person-centred, with a focus on encouraging self-expression and gentle reflection through the creative process. I integrate a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework. This framework is central to the work I do and is a priority in all sessions. I recognize that we all come to therapy with a unique background of experiences, informed by context, environment, history, and systemic factors. Curiosity is a companion to the art therapy experience.

We are spiritual beings experiencing life in human form, but the challenges of our human condition can often overwhelm us. Spirituality involves reconnecting with our true nature as spiritual beings and pure awareness. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, helps us heal and release the burdens we carry throughout life, while also fully embracing our human nature. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career changes, life transitions, or struggles in relationships, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will uncover your inner wisdom and resilience.
