Whether you’re navigating thoughts, feelings, or experiences that feel confusing, overwhelming, or even shameful, you’ll be met with warmth, respect, and genuine acceptance.

Life is hard, and mental health support is something we all need at some point or another. I'm here to offer that support to you virtually in B.C. I work best with adults who are motivated to heal, grow, or change, but who might not quite know how. I am proud to be 2S.LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, BIPOC-allied, and trauma-informed. Being person-centered means I recognize the value of your experience and innate ability to heal, even if life experiences may have made that difficult to do on your own. If you'd like to book a session or consultation, just follow my website link. - Jay Hinton

One of the greatest trials and rewards is to feel a sense of ease in your life and with who you are. If you’re here, it’s likely something is blocking you from this ease - trauma, anxiety, depression, or past relationships. While you may appear to have it all together, you know something is missing. Like many others, you might find it difficult to be vulnerable or lean on others, yet you face challenges in managing your emotions or experiences alone. Some days you may feel empty or numb, and at times worry, sadness or anger consume you for no apparent reason. You may feel alone and disconnected from others or who you once were.

I integrate several therapeutic approaches to address anxiety, depression, PTSD, brain injury, and men’s mental health, including men working through traumatic experiences such as sexual abuse.
Many people seek therapy when life experiences leave them feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, or questioning how to make sense of what has happened to them. Trauma, relationship difficulties, illness, and major life transitions can disrupt how we understand ourselves and our place in the world. My unique life experience exposed me to different cultures and ways of living, including the Levant, Europe, and North America. I position mental health within the broader context of your life — including relationships, culture, personal history, and, when meaningful to you, spirituality or beliefs that shape how you understand your experiences

First and foremost, I want to get to know you as a person. My focus is on facilitating a conversation and working together to understand what’s been shaping your experiences so you can start making choices that actually feel like you. You might be questioning parts of yourself: your relationships, your identity, or the roles you’ve been expected to play. Maybe things that used to feel clear no longer do. You don’t have to navigate that alone. I’m currently accepting new clients and offer a space to explore these questions with honesty and support.

Hi there! I’m here to support you in moving forward, connecting with yourself, and creating meaningful change. Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Healing happens through connection. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom.

My name is Clem, and I’ve been working as a clinical counsellor since 2012. I support clients navigating life stress, relationship challenges, trauma, identity concerns, and intergenerational patterns. I regularly work with people in high-pressure or high-performing environments who may appear capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or depleted internally. I work with many who identify as Asian men, but my practice is welcoming to people of all genders and ethnicities. I also warmly welcome those who are new to therapy and offer a grounded, respectful, and collaborative space to begin this work.

For over 30 years I have enjoyed working with individuals, couples and families. I believe in using methods that are grounded in theory and research. My goal is to help people help themselves. I view people as resourceful. My role is to facilitate them in accessing and expressing their thoughts and feelings. Self-awareness enables people to access their own resources, allowing them to live the life they want to live. I see myself as a resource for people who want confidential help to deal with personal issues and I strive hard to deliver effective productive service in a timely manner.

Perhaps you’re struggling with unresolved pain from the past: a traumatic event, childhood neglect, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, or complex dynamics with a parent, partner, or friend.
I’m here to help you understand what’s no longer working in your life, so you can begin to shift old patterns, process emotions effectively, and create real, lasting change. Together we look at the whole of you - your thoughts, your emotions, your body, your history - and how they all connect.

I am a nonbinary queer somatic trauma therapist committed to healing, liberation, and embodiment. I am also a relational movement guide and facilitate DJ’d embodied dance experiences. I have a deep and practiced understanding of the neurobiology of trauma. I am inspired by studying in fields that are psychotherapy adjacent. In particular, movement modalities that diversify brain and movement patterns. I believe in the transformative power of imagery, nature, music, and dance; sacred practices that reconnect us to our lineages and inner knowing.

The fear of making a mistake may be keeping you up at night. Is trying to be perfect causing you to freeze? You look around, and it seems so easy for everyone else that it leaves you feeling there must be something wrong with you. Feeling anxious in new situations or when trying to do our best makes sense, but you have learned to hide these feelings and to show you are confident when, inside, you feel like an imposter. You have worked so hard to get where you are and tried to control and disconnect from this anxiety and self-criticism, but now you know something needs to change. This cycle may be escalating, and I am here to help.

I am delighted to welcome you here. During times of intense difficulty, when feeling at a loss, we have the greatest potential for lasting change. It is time to let go of what you have already tried in the past and to open to new possibilities. My work is to understand your experience, find where we can strategically move ahead, and to wrap you in compassion. My incessant curiosity allows me uncover the patterns that may no longer serve you—patterns that often live beneath our awareness—and together we bring them into light for intentional transformation.

Welcome to my practice. I believe that every person has the capacity for change. Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life's circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.
