My website

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.

I work primarily from attachment-based, experiential, and trauma-informed therapies to help you reconnect with your true self. In practice, this means that rather than only talking about your experiences, we also pay attention to the emotions, body sensations, and reactions that arise in the moment and use that as part of the therapeutic process.

My approach is grounded in creating a safe, supportive space where you feel seen and heard. Clients often describe me as warm, empathetic, and present. If you're considering working together or simply have questions, I'd love to connect! I welcome you to schedule a free 30-minute consultation to explore if it feels like we are a good fit.

I often use a bottom-up approach, which focuses on the body's natural responses to facilitate healing. By tuning into physical sensations and emotions in the present moment, we can uncover deeper, often unconscious patterns shaped by past experiences. This awareness supports emotional processing, enhances resilience, and fosters lasting change.

Therapy often involves supporting clients in accessing and processing emotions, exploring how past traumas are impacting their present experiences, strengthening relationships (with self and others), and cultivating self-compassion. Through this work, clients are able to regulate emotions more effectively, navigate challenges with greater confidence, and engage more fully in their lives.
