Therapists in Victoria, BC

Tap into your own innate resilience and grow! Speak so your partner can really 'feel' you. I have over 24 years' experience and specialize in personal growth, relationship/family dynamics, sexual issues, narcissism and GNM. I use a blend of NVC (compassionate connection), Imago-style and Trust Oriented Therapy. Enhance your communication skills. Polish your relationships till they gleam! Welcome to the whole of you: the rebellious, the angry,the shy,the forgotten,the lonely and more. The result? Good health and success!

I work with folks who feel as though they don't fit into the mold and who have mostly felt alone in their problems. My clients tend to be creative, thoughtful, and have big inner lives, but struggle to show their real selves to the world around them because they've gotten the message that they wouldn’t be welcome - that care and acceptance aren’t a given. Together, we’ll figure out what they need, how to make sense of the wounds that have led them here, and how to care for the parts of themselves that feel rejected by others (and even by themselves.)

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or dysregulated, and looking to make some changes but don't know where or how to start, you're in the right place. I want you to know that feeling this way does not have to control your life - that a life filled with more joy and purpose is achievable with the right support and foundational work. With a holistic approach to therapy, I understand the importance of all aspects of self working together to create genuine healing and joy - our mental/emotional, spiritual, physical all need to be considered.

I view the counselling space as an opportunity to re-remember what you already know. I come into the space with the belief that we are all born with everything we need. It is through trauma, adversity, oppression, systems of power and various other life-experiences that close the doors to our inner world of knowing. Just as our bodies are able to heal from physical wounds, I believe we are also capable of healing our emotional wounds when we are able to access the innate Self. Accessing Self energy can heal our more vulnerable & wounded parts. Holding space for you to turn your greatest wounds into your greatest gifts.

Whether you’ve been to therapy before or this is your first time, congratulations on reading this as a step towards a brave new beginning. I’m here for you, to listen with compassion, and without judgement. I would be honoured to support you in making meaning of your experiences, and to collaborate with you in creating sustainable change as you heal and grow. Together we can create a process to fit your personal and interpersonal goals. My approach to therapy is authentic, client-centred, strength-based, and diversity-inclusive. I look forward to connecting! Instagram: @jacquifox_mmft

Hello! I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor located in BC. I work with a diverse range of people, including those experiencing anxiety, eating disorders and disordered eating, depression, life transitions, and burnout. I strongly believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ in therapy - a collaborative and integrative approach is essential. My intention is to help you move at the right pace for your system and learn to trust yourself. I aim to bring gentleness and curiosity to our work together, and encourage you to slow down and listen to your own emotions both during and outside of session.

I am an experienced therapist, working with individuals and couples. I am open to helping you with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, self-care, spirituality, life purpose, end of life issues, ageing, stress, parenting, work, vocation, sexual orientation, transitioning, gender questioning, chronic illness, sexual abuse, and the residue of early childhood experiences. If you don’t see your concern here, please feel free to contact me to find out if it’s something I work with. I love to do this work. You can read more at rowanpercy.com

The human experience can sometimes provide challenges along the way and it's natural to feel a little stuck or disconnected at times. We might come across feelings of shame, unworthiness, overwhelm, loneliness, frustration with what life has thrown at us and we don’t know where to turn. Through genuine warmth, compassion & presence, I try to cultivate a soft landing place for my clients so they don’t have to struggle with life’s circumstances on their own. While my roots are in AEDP & IFS, I use a holistic, trauma-informed, collaborative approach where I welcome all diverse parts of my clients to be witnessed in the light with me.

Hello! As a South Asian woman of colour, I have grown up and experienced living in a multicultural society, balancing the different identities that may come from being a child of immigrants as well as having peers of differing backgrounds. This has helped me develop a unique understanding of the experiences of those similar and different to me. I understand that our cultural upbringings, beliefs, and values may both help and hinder us in some ways as we grow into who we are today. We are made up of so many parts that make us who we are, and that is so important to understand and work with for your mental health and wellbeing.

If you are seeking to understand your relationships, what your deepest values are, and who you are, I provide a safe place for you to explore these questions. If you have suffered through the experience of needing to hide your authentic self, we can collaborate to discover the life you are meant to live. I would like to help you be the author of the next chapter of your life story. I am interested in hearing your experience of life and learning how you move through the path set out before you. Together, we’ll tap into inner resources to help you on your journey and explore core values that will illuminate the steps ahead.

Wamkelekile- Welcome & thank you for being here. I am a Bantu woman who has spent the last 13 years walking alongside people from different walks of life and holding space for their healing journeys with compassion and curiosity. I believe in de-pathologizing and re-humanizing mental health, while seeing and valuing people in their authentic wholeness. Although my targeted people are: those who are racialized as Black, Indigenous peoples and all equity seeking humans who might be struggling with identity-based trauma, intergenerational trauma and/or racial trauma, I am open to working with all those who feel aligned with my values.

Currently accepting new male clients. I support Men heal their relationship with themselves and to those who are in their life. The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one, how you communicate with yourself will be a direct reflection of how you communicate with the world around you. You may have built up internal defences to block you from feeling your emotional experience from a young age out of a need to survive and fit in, all the while boosting your performance-based esteem. We work on your relationship with yourself first and then to those around you in your life to start the reconnection process.

Do strong emotions and memories impact how you live? Unresolved trauma and chronic stress can create negative thoughts and feelings and negatively impact our overall well-being. We may experience anxiety/depression, addiction, chronic stress, etc. Coping mechanisms may become ineffective or even harmful over time. Are you new to therapy - or have been to therapy before - call to discuss how trauma therapy may help.

I work to help clients gain a better understanding of their experiences and inherent worth. Together, we address their identified goals, reflect on and process experiences that may have been traumatic, challenge negative self-beliefs, and foster self-compassion. I strive to recognize intersectional factors that may impact client's, such as culture, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, etc. I am passionate about creating safer spaces for all communities, bodies, and backgrounds.

Through therapy, you can save your relationships. In therapy I connect with: the potential you have to develop a nurturing, loving and caring relationship and the tender hearts behind the rigid and negative patterns that may have developed in your relationships. I believe: Relationships and desire to connect are the core of human experience. Your relationship, regardless of how severe your problems are, has the potential to become a safe and supportive base and comforting haven.

In my practice I work with adults (individuals, couples, families). My specialty areas include complex trauma & PTSD (with a focus on the impact of emotional/physical/sexual abuse in childhood & beyond), depression, bipolar disorder, social anxiety, borderline personality, men's issues, intimate relationships, family relationships. I also help people navigate a wide range of challenges related to identity, relationship to self/others, life transitions, & stress. My clinical background includes working as a therapist at an early psychosis & bipolar clinic, an addictions & criminality recovery program, and a men's trauma centre.

You may be struggling to move forward in some key area of your life, yet unsure of your next steps. Maybe you feel like you've tried everything, but nothing has helped, and you haven't gotten to the root of the problem, You know there is something deeper going on and you're tired of being held back by old patterns, beliefs, relationship challenges, and ways of being. I can help support you with whatever you may have experienced in the past, or continue to deal with in the present. You are not meant to take this healing journey alone. I can help guide you towards health, well-being, and wholeness.
