Hello! My name is Jessie. Thank you for reaching out to consider if I’m the right counsellor for you. I have an online practice, Ongoing Self, and I offer in-person sessions through Peak Resilience. A little bit about me is that I immigrated to Canada when I was 5, and grew up across 6 different cities. I was also raised in a multi-faith household.
In my own communities, I’ve seen the impact of generations of trauma and low mental health support. It’s not easy trying to navigate everything all at once: your environment, your people, yourself. My hope is to help you write a different future from the history handed to you.

Maybe you're exhausted by old patterns—like shame, addiction, or stress responses—holding you back. You want to feel more grounded, resilient, and truly yourself again. I get it—and I’m here to help.

If you are feeling stuck in your past, old ways of coping, or are replaying painful memories I want you to know that there is hope for your future. I work with many people, who, like you, each have unique stories, and have done their best to push forward and to leave their hurts behind. You may be surrounded by people, and yet feel a longing in your life for deeper connection and relationships. You might even feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and others. Perhaps you have tried to cope with the distress by turning to substances, food, self-harm, shopping, work, or other ways of feeling in control.

We all experience discomfort in our life. It can be physical, mental or emotional but it is all connected. Feeling down, stuck, angry, hurt or sad is a part of being human but it doesn't mean we cannot do something about it. Injuries are a normal part of life. Some are caused by us and some are caused by others, some are physical and some are emotional, some heal quickly while others seem to never go away but there are things we can do to help or hurt the healing process. Using a variety of techniques, we can work together to develop a recovery plan that works for you.

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.

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.

You have often been the only one, or one of very few, in rooms and systems that weren't built for you. You've spent years proving yourself and quietly absorbing the cost of making others comfortable (on top of doing your actual job). You might carry moral injury, vicarious trauma, and institutional betrayal, along with a bone-deep exhaustion that time-off hasn't been able to touch.
Talk therapy hasn't been enough - your body and mind are still holding the tension. Using EMDR alongside attachment and mindfulness-based approaches, I will help you process what words alone can't reach, so you can find your way back.

Hi There! I’m Gillian, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BCACC. My journey as a counsellor has been shaped by supporting individuals facing anxiety, trauma, shame, addiction, relationship hurts and emotional overwhelm.

I specialize in disordered eating, and the complex relationships we often have with our bodies, food, and exercise. If you are experiencing (peri)menopause, postpartum, or other life changes alongside new or recurring symptoms of an eating disorder, we may be an especially good fit.

Do you and your partner have the same fight over and over again? You love each other, but you can’t find a way out of this cycle. Even though you both want to make it work, you can’t seem to get through to each other, and every time you have the fight, your relationship feels a little bit more damaged. Resentment is starting to build, and the distance between you and your partner is growing, and the tension has started to impact your quality of life. You want to figure out how to have constructive conflict and rebuild intimacy, but you’re not sure where to turn. And more than anything, you want to feel heard.
