Green Shield Canada Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Suffering is an unavoidable part of the human experience. Yet, when you’re immersed in past or present struggles, it’s so natural to feel isolated, stuck, and unsure of how to move forward. The pain can become so overwhelming that it not only interferes with your ability to cope, but it also can rob you of your joy. I view counselling as a nurturing space for appreciating how you’ve supported yourself while also building a deeper sense of freedom, strength, and connection to what matters to you.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns that are hard to shift. This might look like conflict that keeps repeating, feeling disconnected, or struggling with anxiety, stress, or substance use. Many people come in wanting to understand why this keeps happening and how to change it. Together, we slow things down, track patterns, and build safety and stability. From there, we make sense of what is underneath and support you in moving toward a more grounded, aligned way of living and relating.

You may already be quite self-aware yet still find yourself stuck in old patterns. You might overthink, feel anxious beneath the surface, or notice the same dynamics playing out over and over in your relationships. Even if you understand why you do what you do, you've probably discovered that awareness alone doesn’t necessarily lead to change.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, and I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, relationship glitches, and a deeper sense of inner conflict or disconnection. These problems often develop over time and can be difficult to shift until they are explored more deeply.

People tend to turn to counselling when they feel lost, unsure, or just need someone on their team. They may be seeking a place to feel safe in order to explore and discover who they want to be and what they want to do. It's more than okay to ask for help or support. Counselling allows a space where you don't have to feel alone.

You know what you want. You keep doing the opposite. You've done the reading, noticed the pattern, and yet there you are again, pulling away when someone gets close, repeating the argument you swore you wouldn't have, returning to the habit you wanted to leave. That gap between knowing and doing is rarely a discipline problem. It usually means different parts of you want different things. I work with self-aware adults and couples who are tired of insight that doesn't translate. Together we slow things down, look at what these patterns are protecting, and build a different relationship with them.

My name is Hannah and I offer an experienced space for individuals and couples. Work focusing on techniques to combat issues such as depression or anxiety is readily available but I especially thrive working with those also seeking to understand the deeper reason for why they face the challenges they do. I primarily use attachment theory, internal family systems and emotionally focused therapy to explore patterns in behaviour and relationships, both with others and in relation to ourselves. The purpose is to develop an understanding of your problems, build better ways of coping and for you to leave therapy in a better place.

Hi, I’m Sandy Kirkwood, the founder of Integrate Counselling. I’m passionate about counselling because I know that with the right therapist at the right moment in your life, it can be both helpful and life changing. I know this because, over the years, I have witnessed so many clients move through their struggles to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and what they truly want. I have gathered this particular team of therapists together because I know how they work with clients. They have been either close colleagues of mine or past supervisees. I have witnessed their warmth, wisdom and effectiveness in working with clients.

Hi there!
I'm a Second-Generation Chinese-Canadian (born and raised in Vancouver), and Registered Clinical Counsellor with my M.A. in Counselling Psychology from UBC.

My approach involves developing a therapeutic relationship where we can work together supported by compassion, non-judgement, and intention. The goal is not to "fix" someone but to support you in developing or adapting strengths to help you progress forward.

Sometimes life events make us feel as if we are inside a tornado or stuck in a fog. I’ve been there myself, I know how it feels. It caused me to lose touch with my true self and cross paths with anxiety & depression decades ago. Finding my way back to myself was so impactful that I left a solid career in corporate to become a Registered Counsellor. If you find yourself lost in that fog battling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, relationships or disconnected from your true self, I am here to help you clear the way so you can reclaim your true self again, mind, body & soul. :)
