Welcome- I am so glad you are here! Throughout our lives, we inevitably face periods of struggle, challenge, and adversity. The pressures of anxiety, the drain from repetitive behaviours, the pain of relationship issues, or the emptiness brought on by depression can make it seem hard to craft the life we aspire to. Yet, I hold a firm belief in your innate ability to overcome these trials, whether they are longstanding or newly felt. In working together, my aim is to form a unique connection with you: one where you can truly be yourself, focusing on where you’ve been, where you are today, and where you hope to be in the future.

Have you ever found it challenging to reach out to others and express more fully what"s on your mind, what weighs on your heart? Have you ever felt the need to quit stewing in all these thoughts and feelings, and get them out so that you feel you've got a handle on them, so that you can accept them for what they are and can consider what they offer you moving forward? Have you ever felt that the people around you won't give you the space you need to sort things out in your own way? If so, you may find that the acceptant, non-judgmental, caring atmosphere of counselling that I aim to provide gives you the chance to do these things.

I offer individual and couples counselling to neurotypical and neurodistinct clients (e.g. ADHD, autism) to work on issues such as, but not limited to, guilt and shame, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, communication skills, grief and loss, and disorganisation. Our sessions together would be about collaboratively increasing insight, clarity and encouragement, while also building a customised “menu” of practical resources to help reorient your daily life. I offer counselling primarily in English, and can also support clients who are more comfortable expressing themselves in Malay or Indonesian.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by stress, trauma, or old patterns that won’t shift. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but didn’t experience the deeper change you hoped for. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, or major life transitions. You want support that feels compassionate, attuned, and grounded in the mind–body connection. I work with adults who are ready for a different approach, one that helps you feel supported, understood and better able to manage the stress and overwhelm. If you're ready for something different, book your free 15-minute consultation today.

I have availability, get in touch.. We get stuck sometimes, whether through habit or circumstances, emotional, mental, and physical. Sometimes these thoughts become patterns, and we need to work through what's going on. I think a person needs to release these thoughts in our heads. We store them up, and at other times, we listen to things in our heads over and over again and don't speak out about what is going on. We are busy at work and get stuck on personal issues that don't get resolved, as we can get so immersed in maintaining deadlines and work ethos and expectations. It can impact our personal relationships and family lives​.

My name is Veronica and I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia. I hold a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP). In the past, I have worked directly with individuals experiencing a range of diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and sexuality-based issues. Most commonly, I witnessed many of those individuals feeling pain and suffering alone. Intimacy and sexuality can be difficult to discuss and can impact your mental health and well-being.

As a neurodiverse counsellor living in Vancouver, I work with adults navigating self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or trying to make sense of your experiences and identity. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s been coming up for you, process past experiences, and reconnect with what matters most. I value transparency, compassion, and showing up authentically, and I believe that building trust starts with aligning what I say with how I show up in the room, virtual or in-person.

You might be managing day-to-day, but still feel overwhelmed, tense, or stuck in patterns that are hard to shift. Many people I work with feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to make sense of what they’re carrying. Together, we focus on making sense of what’s going on and building practical ways to manage it—so you can feel steadier, think more clearly, and respond in ways that feel more aligned with who you want to be.

Feeling stressed, angry, fearful, and/or sad is what most of us go through. This is not bad because it clarifies what you desire deep down. But if you continue to feel these emotions, they become real issues that make you feel defeated, beat up, and exhausted. "Be positive" doesn't always work. But there are ways to feel better. You can learn exactly how our mind and body work which can give you back control and autonomy. My counseling goal is to support you in realizing and believing you have all the power to overcome anything. My approach is heart-centered. Thank you for the opportunity to be your support.

Are you feeling stuck in a difficult relationship with food, your body, or yourself? Maybe you’re struggling with an eating disorder or body image concerns that affect your self-worth and how you show up in relationships? You might feel out of control, disconnected, numb, or at war with your body—especially under the pressure to look, move, or be a certain way? If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live without constant worries about whether you’re “enough,” I get it. I’ve been there too, and I want you to know: it doesn’t have to be this way. I believe it’s possible to reclaim your sense of well-being and inner strength.
