Many clients find my steady, non-judgemental approach helpful, especially when navigating life transitions and difficult emotions. In sessions, I take a practical, solution-oriented approach for immediate concerns with a long-term focus on helping clients to better understand and navigate their internal worlds. Clients often discover insights about their thoughts/behaviours, which we then turn into a plan of action to work toward long-term goals.

At an early age and throughout my life, as I have struggled with life’s ebbs and flows, I have realized how support and connection can provide people with a space for discovery. Through my own personal experiences, I have learned how essential it is to have a space to be heard. I believe in supporting those who are struggling to have a voice, and for that voice to provide a pathway towards growth and wellness. I am passionate about people, healing, and supporting those who need it most. My personal and professional values are intertwined. I believe in empowerment and supporting individuals to be the best they can be.

I offer in-person sessions on Saturdays, with online sessions available most weekdays to provide flexible support.
Wai-Han (慧嫻) is my name — Wai meaning wisdom, and Han meaning elegance. I was born and raised in a shame-based culture, where early messages often felt opposite to my name — that I was not enough. Over time, I came to understand the deep impact words can have: how they shape how we see ourselves, and how they can wound or bring life. Through my own journey of healing, I experienced how words can also bring restoration, freedom, and a renewed sense of self. That is part of why I care deeply about offering a space where people can bring the parts of themselves that feel ashamed, hidden or hard to name, and be met with care and warmth.

I offer both in-person and online/ phone therapy sessions.
I work with teens and adults navigating trauma, identity, relationships, neurodivergence, chronic illness, shame, anxiety, substance use, and the impacts of systemic harm. Many of my clients are queer, neurodivergent, racialized, or carrying experiences of being misunderstood, pathologized, or excluded. I recognize how often people are expected to both hide their struggles and prove them. I especially value supporting people who feel guarded, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure whether therapy can help.

Path Forward Counselling was created to help in these moments of distress. A masters level counsellor at Path Forward Counselling can see a path and help guide you along, even when it is hidden from you.
