Feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? We all encounter moments when our usual coping strategies fall short, but you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. With over a decade of experience, I'm here to guide you through your journey of self-discovery and healing. Recognizing the challenges of change, I approach our work with skill, respect, and curiosity, valuing your commitment to transformation.

Do you struggle with loneliness, anxiety, self doubt, shame or anger when you try to say no. As a Master Counsellor and Supervisor I am here to invite every part of you to be present so you can live fully. My passion is to create a safe space for you to be heard and understood. You will experience the safety to process some of the roots of struggles in a non judgmental environment. I bring my years of experience with a successful practice and working through my own personal struggles with anxiety, grief, codependency and self esteem from a difficult past. I offer supervision to new and existing counsellors who want growth.

I am impassioned about working with people who are awakening to their own potential and find having someone walk this journey with them to be helpful. I believe that holding space to be seen and heard in this awakening process is priceless. I am an approved RCC-ACS and especially enjoy working with individuals making the transition from intern/student to practitioner. I offer Ketamine-assisted Therapy through the FieldTrip Health Canada co-op program.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, comfortable, and inclusive space for individuals to share their stories at any stage of their lives.

Working to improve it can be made easier by finding someone who you feel truly cares & feels safe to explore the deeper questions. Weaving together education & life experiences I offer unique perspectives & insight that can often ignite new ideas and ways forward for my clients.

Welcome to the counselling services at Celtic Place and Healing Place. Counselling provides a space and opportunity for you to explore thoughts and feelings, behaviours and relationships that may be troubling you or causing difficulty in your life. Counselling also offers a source of support in times of crisis and during difficult times such as you may be experiencing now. Some of the ways in which counselling can be beneficial is through bringing deeper personal insight, helping find better ways of coping with problems and it also can help you improve your relationships.

Are you dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, loss, career challenges, or difficulties finding direction in your life? Are you experiencing reduced concentration, a sense of numbness, overwhelm, disrupted sleeping patterns, changed eating habits and a roller coaster of emotional energy?

Sometimes we’ve been wounded. We are bitter and end up in hard places. We are in relationships that have grown painful, disappointing, even hopeless. It seems there are insurmountable chasms, and we are stuck with nowhere to go. Sometimes the hard places consume all our joy, and we are simply numb. Our emotions have dried up, and we no longer feel. At other times, the hard places can trigger fear, desperation, or panic attacks.

I am passionate about working with individuals, children, parents, and families. I enjoy working with children with special needs and I am drawn to working with children who have experienced loss or trauma, including fostering and adoption. I love helping parents feel equipped and empowered to connect with, and parent, their children. I also love seeing hurting relationships healed and restored with both adults & children. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where connection can flourish leading to change.

Are you struggling with relationship conflicts, feeling trapped in negative coping patterns, or grappling with deep-rooted anxiety or depression? Are past experiences creating barriers in your personal growth? I understand how overwhelming these struggles can be, and how they can affect your life and your relationships. As a relational therapist, I am here to help you navigate these challenges. My name is Claire De Boer, a Registered Clinical Counsellor based on the serene border of Surrey and White Rock, British Columbia.

Your emotions are valid…feel them. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It’s common for transitions in life to bring up heavy emotions. This heaviness may be surfacing for you as feelings of being stuck, anxiety, frustration and even fear. You are taking the first step in acknowledging these difficult experiences and seeking support in working through them to live a more fulfilling life.

I'm here to guide, support, and maybe even share a laugh or two along the way. Let's be honest, if I'm doing my job well, we won't be seeing each other for long! But in the meantime, I consider it a privilege to be your co-pilot on this sometimes turbulent, sometimes serene adventure. Your journey deserves professional expertise, warmth and understanding. I offer personalized strategies to not only cope but thrive. Together, we'll uncover your strengths, build resilience, and lay the foundation for a more fulfilling and balanced life.

As a fellow human being, I am intimately acquainted with my own experiences of pain. As a therapist, my heart is devoted to accompanying others on their journey so that they may not have to navigate their pain alone, understanding that suffering is often compounded when endured in isolation. At the core, human beings long for connection. We yearn to feel secure, to be seen, heard, loved, valued and accepted. When these fundamental needs go unmet we can experience an ache that feels unbearable. Our resilience allows us to bounce back, but not without bearing the scars of what it took to survive.

You deserve to be happy and functional and leave past in the past. I will teach you how to be your own therapist by providing you with tools and skills you will use for a lifetime. Whatever you are struggling with, can be fixed and you will be able to live a productive and happy life. Anxiety, depression, stress, post-traumatic stress, grief, anger, insomnia, low self-esteem, and marital problems, can be reduced to a minimum, if not totally eliminated. I will meet you wherever you are right now in your life, and guide you gently from there to a more stable, balanced, and happier you.

Anxiety could make us feel like we’re living in constant fear and at times we just want to escape and run away. Depression could make us feel like we don’t want to do anything and it's so hard to find any trace of motivation. Even getting out of bed feels like an enormous challenge. Relationship issues make us feel like we have someone that we cherish, but it’s so hard to communicate with them, they just don’t seem to get what we’re saying, or they claim to understand our point yet never implement any real action. Disagreements and disappointments accumulate, and we start to question the necessity to continue.

There are times where the challenges we face in our daily lives become too difficult to manage on our own. I can help navigate those who are looking to add meaning and purpose to their lives, generating motivation, and regaining control. The ability to achieve wellness and stability in our lives, exists somewhere inside of us. The disconnection we experience from the things that bring us happiness and joy may cause us to feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by stress. My aim is to provide a supportive, non-judgemental, and safe environment to help support you through life’s difficulties that may have you feeling stuck and under pressure.
