Therapists in Victoria, BC

I work with couples, parents, and individuals wanting support with their relationships and personal development. Intimate relationships require an investment of time, care, commitment, and trust, as well as a willingness to be vulnerable. When difficulties do arise, experienced support and guidance can make a significant difference. As a relationship-focused counsellor, my goal is to provide the specific support you and your partner need to deeply understand - and begin shifting - your interpersonal dynamics in order to build a capacity for greater emotional freedom and connection.

Have you lived overseas, experienced trauma, PTSD, burn out, or would like to be living a life that you dream of? I believe in your resiliency and capacity to overcome challenges and create dynamic, transformative changes in your own life and in the world around you, no matter how big or small you want them to be. Taking the time to rest, recognize new shifts and steps can be an impactful momentum builder to help work towards the change that you would like to happen. By working through your barriers or creating a clear vision, you can bring your life into closer alignment with your dreams.

All humans have the capacity for wellness, healing, and growth, despite the adversities we face. As a former national team athlete and current RCC, I have a unique understanding of the psychological pressures that coincide with sport-participation and managing difficult emotions. I also enjoy working with a diverse range of clients (14+) and couples to address a variety of concerns. These areas may include, but are not limited to, challenges with performance and social anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse, relational conflict, grief/loss, and disordered eating/RED-S.

I'm Alex, a dedicated and compassionate counsellor, and I'm delighted to be a part of your therapeutic journey. I firmly believe that counselling is a collaborative effort, and I'm here to support you on the path to healing and self-discovery. My counselling approach is primarily rooted in person-centered therapy, which places you at the heart of the therapeutic process. Together, we create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I am a firm believer that our history does not determine our destiny, and my goal is to empower you to embrace a brighter, more fulfilling future.

I provide therapy for individuals and couples who are navigating life’s challenges and want to create meaningful change. Issues rarely stand alone, but affect and are influenced by various other aspects of daily life, such as our physical wellbeing, relationships, work, environmental and societal factors. I offer a judgment-free environment in which clients feel welcome, safe and heard. Through a collaborative, holistic approach we explore the challenges you are facing while incorporating and developing your inner strengths and resources and finding ways to increase your control.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Registered Social Worker, I work with individuals, couples and families. I believe that each individual has the innate capacity for growth and change and an ability to heal. I am experienced and skilled at helping clients deal with grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety and depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. My compassionate and collaborative approach helps clients recognize their strengths, gain insight into the circumstances of their lives, and find new and creative solutions to their problems.

Many of us wander through the forest of life trying to find the answer to "Who am I, really?" Outside of our chosen people, we're juggling so many masks it feels like we're bound to make mistakes and drop one eventually. It's exhausting, stealing the time we need for creativity and human connection. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to ‘fit in’ or ‘be like other people’. In fact, I thrive on the kind of counselling that invites your quirks to the party, instead of leaving them at home. Picture me as your personal guide through the jungle of self-exploration, armed with humor, enthusiasm, and silly voices!

Welcome to Kinyewakan Indigenous Counselling and Consulting Services, a sacred space dedicated to supporting Indigenous individuals and BIPOC communities on their healing and empowerment journeys. I bring cultural understanding and a trauma-informed approach to provide compassionate and inclusive support. I honor the unique experiences and challenges faced by Indigenous and BIPOC individuals, addressing the intersectionality of race, culture, and identity.

I believe that people have unlimited capacity. I work to support others in exploring the challenges in their own lives; relationships; and that arise in pursuit of goals. My professional background in mental health and substance use (addictions) has offered me experience working with others to address complex challenges since beginning in 2013. It is a privilege to join others on their journey and I am fortunate to engage in this work on the traditional lands of the Lekwungen Peoples.

I work with people on a variety of issues including relationships, PTSD, phobias, anxieties, sleep issues, eating disorders and grief and loss etc through hypnotherapy and counseling work. I also do past life regressions and use family constellation philosophy for people who are ready and open to that. I am formally trained by Dr Brain.Weiss in PLRT and also have on going training in Family constellation with Hellinger school based in Germany. I translated Bert. Hellinger's books from English into Chinese (the developer of family constellation) "looking into the souls of children" and the book "an education for our time".

Our team of therapists have up to 30+ years experience supporting individuals, couples and families. At Help Clinic Canada, our mission is to provide accessible, comprehensive online therapy services to all Canadians. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers to mental health support and providing a safe, client-centred practice that promotes personal growth and well-being, tailored to the unique needs of each individual we serve. We believe that therapy should be easily accessible, allowing individuals to attend sessions from the comfort and security of their homes, workplaces, vacations, or when away for work.

My goal is to provide a comfortable space for couples, meet them where they are at and work together to rebuild friendship and resolve conflict more effectively. I also work with couples on treating affairs.

Do you wake up in the morning and your anxiety starts to creep in? Do you feel like you have tried everything and you’re losing hope? Are you often triggered emotionally and feel as though you lose control? Do you struggle within your close relationships and wonder “how did I get here?” My approach to therapy is always rooted in compassion and genuine curiosity. I have a mindful and gentle presence, which guides my considerate sensitivity and attunement to each of my clients. Together we can cultivate unique goals and illuminate your wellness path through exploring, connecting, healing, and harnessing strengths.

Do you struggle with understanding your behaviours or feelings, relating to people or your work, or to move forward in creating the life you want? Maybe you are tired, disconnected, hopeless, or uncertain of where to go next by the pull of your committments and responsibilites? Perhaps there is a bigger more meaningful way to experience life? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and overcome by the struggle to deepen their relationships, reduce stress and shift from stagnating trauma. Moving from a dull, uninspired state of being into a positive, hopeful and fun future does not have to be a painstaking experience.

Interested in Feminist Therapy? Hi, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and settler on Lekwungen Territory and I can offer support with trauma recovery or PTSD/cPTSD, self-esteem, LGBTQ2S+ experiences, anxiety & depression, grief, cancer, and more. I can help you process emotions, move forward from past experiences, learn new ways to cope, and widen your perspective. If you want to feel better and live more authentically, we might be a good team!

I strongly believes that everyone is doing the best they can with the strategies they have. I am deeply committed to meeting every person where they are at and supporting them through exploration that is both collaborative and proactive in nature, towards what you deem a more fulfilling path forward. As a mother of two children, I empathizes with the emotional weight and responsibility of parenting. My practice is focused on intensifying the connection between caregiver and child and providing practical, feel-good tools and strategies. I work with children, teens, individuals and their families aged 5 plus.

Sometimes we all feel stuck. Our go-to methods of coping aren't working anymore, or we aren't getting what we need from those we usually turn to. Sometimes we need a space to be heard and other times we want someone to help us set some goals and take those first steps. In working with youth, individuals and families I bring curiosity, gentleness, humour and compassion along with knowledge of many therapeutic modalities which allows me to be flexible and tailor our work together to your specific needs.

I work with clients whom wish to push the boundaries of “normal” to uncover & deconstruct the root causes of their suffering. Many of the people that I work with are dealing with major depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and overall frustration with the current state of society and the environment. The clients that I see often present to me with symptoms such as feeling blocked, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, alone, and powerless in their life. I support clients to transform their pain into strength so that they can live a more fulfilled life.
