Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I believe therapy is a collaborative and supportive space between you and I, in which we can work together to identify and achieve your goals. The therapy room is a space for you to feel safe and comfortable. By creating that, we can then work together to peel back the layers of who you are, explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and work on making positive changes in your life. I take a holistic approach to therapy, as this allows me to consider many factors that can impact your mental health and well-being. By considering your past experiences, childhood, environment, intersectionality and identity.

When you are feeling lost and overwhelmed, those next steps forward can seem intimidating or perhaps impossible. If you feel alone and stuck, unsure of how to move forward or what that journey even looks like, you have come to the right place. I believe that therapy should be a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental environment. I love holding space for people to process their concerns so that they can make a meaningful change in their lives.

When our most vulnerable selves are seen, witnessed, heard, and accepted by another we can begin to heal the relationship within. Like many, you may feel like you’re on autopilot, just going through the motions. You may feel isolated from others and disconnected from yourself. You may feel caught in painful patterns and don’t know how to shift towards meaningful change. You may long for connection, self-discovery, and relief. I can help you rediscover your strengths and resources. Together we can rewrite past self-limiting narratives that might keep you feeling stagnant or hopeless, and move toward healing, empowerment, and growth.

If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

Are you struggling with a life transition, feeling disconnected from reality or like an imposter in your own life? Are you feeling constantly off balance, struggling to keep up with work, school or your relationships? Life can be overwhelming at times, causing us to feel lost, disconnected or not ourselves. Asking for help, in my eyes, is the first step in admitting to yourself that you want to take back control.

Can’t figure out why your partner runs from conflict and you find yourself going from calm to seeing red in a heartbeat, or vice versa? Are you confused about what others or your partner are asking of you? Having the same fight with your partner, child, friend, or yourself and can't see eye to eye?

Talking is a most basic - yet most powerful - way to unravel confusion, process distress, tolerate challenges, rediscover oneself, and navigate change. I provide talk therapy to adults in a professional and engaging space, where we work toward improved mental health and wellbeing, and improved relationships with ourselves, our work, and others. For individuals, we consider identity, the impacts of early traumas, self-reliance, and self-acceptance. For couples, we highlight self-awareness, tolerating differences, relational safety, and improved communication. Throughout, we acknowledge and actively work with anxiety and depression.

Are you tired of feeling invisible and powerless? Are you tired of hurting, feeling depressed, and hopeless and that you don't matter? Do you long to feel safe and connected? As a result of healing my own childhood trauma from sexual abuse, I now specialise in supporting people, in a trauma informed way, as they navigate the confusion of living with adversities, and trauma. I am passionate about guiding people to a place of living instead of merely surviving. The truth is that our adversities actually become windows to learning how to live magnificently. We are not what was done to us!

I am passionate about helping people build a more peaceful relationship inside themselves and am here to support you in getting to the root of what it going on so you can move toward what matters to you.

I work alongside clients who feel disconnected from others or themselves, but can't seem to push through the barriers of what it is that they are unsatisfied with; with people who want more out of their relationship with themselves, others, and life. My clients often talk about their emotions as being too big or having conflicting parts within. I focus on finding not only strategies, but understanding and insight into past experiences - enabling to not only manage your experiences but feel deep fulfillment as well. As you understand the early experiences that shaped you, we then have choices over who you want to be moving forward.
