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 also have extensive experience working alongside survivors of violence and abuse. I believe that even when life’s challenges leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you have an inherent capacity to heal and thrive with the right support. You'll find that I approach each session with compassion and curiosity, often encouraging clients to do the same for themselves.

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

Relational Trauma Therapist. You may understand yourself and your patterns, but still feel stuck in painful relationship dynamics. You might notice that you overthink interactions, doubt yourself, or struggle to trust your feelings, even when part of you knows something doesn’t feel right. You may be confused about why you feel guilty when someone is hurting you. You may feel you had to disconnect from your needs and feelings to stay safe in a relationship. It’s common to hold conflicting feelings about someone you love and feel hurt by, or to feel pulled between protecting the relationship and protecting yourself.

You’ve taken a courageous step in seeking support, and I’m glad you’re here. You are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware yet find yourself repeating familiar emotional or relational loops.

My strong clinical lens allows me to provide highly specialized care, balancing evidence-based treatment with an understanding of South Asian cultural dynamics and intergenerational expectations.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or emotional overwhelm. They often describe feeling disconnected from themselves or caught in relationships where they over-give or lose their sense of self. In our work, we explore these patterns as adaptive responses shaped by earlier relational experiences. Together, we slow things down, build emotional safety, and support a deeper understanding of the nervous system, so change can happen from a grounded, embodied place.

I grew up in a culture where mental health was often overlooked and surrounded by stigma. That experience shaped my passion for counselling and my commitment to creating a space where people feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe therapy should be a place for healing, growth, connection, and self-discovery, and I welcome individuals from all walks of life who are seeking support.
