Online Counselling for British Columbia

Do you feel angry, tired, confused, overwhelmed? Are you dealing with loss or struggling with relationships?

I have lived struggles and clinical training to deal with C-ptsd/ADHD/OCD, family conflict and parenting.

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.

Accepting new clients for video therapy. Perhaps you are facing a difficult change, or feel down in how your life has turned out. This can manifest in so many ways that cause us to feel lost, stressed, numb, hurt, burnt-out, flooded with guilt and self-doubt, wishing we could show up differently for others and ourselves. I understand the significance of wanting to break free from these struggles. If you are tired of figuring this out on your own, I'd be honoured to facilitate a supportive and compassionate space to attune to your experiences and find a way through these challenges.

Welcome! I appreciate your courage for landing here today. I am a second-generation Chinese Canadian immigrant and my heart lies in mental health work within the Asian and bicultural diaspora surrounding racism, intergenerational trauma, minority stress, and cultural grief. My lived experience helps me empathize with the complexities of balancing personal and collective needs, and the pain of staying silent to protect ourselves and others. I hope to empower fellow humans to reclaim their identity - to no longer negotiate their culture and values, and give themselves permission to take up space in the world.

Welcome! My name is Clem and I am an Asian Canadian of Chinese descent, originally from Toronto but have called BC home since 1998. My journey in the healing professions began 20 years ago in Victoria, BC, where I studied Shiatsu and other Eastern healing traditions. Since then, I have developed a personal therapeutic style that incorporates social justice, compassion, and a holistic view of the individual. I know that choosing a counsellor can be a daunting experience; it requires a commitment of energy, resources, and a great deal of courage. I have the deepest admiration and respect for anyone who is willing to ask for help.

I work from the deep belief that you have everything you need to heal and thrive. My role is to create a context (eg. ND-affirming, gender-affirming, anti-oppressive, decolonial, anti-imperial) in which you can connect with all that you are. This may involve figuring out "internal" conflict, development of trust and skills in yourself and others, and/or turning trauma into wisdom. Please check out my website for more!

I am a South Asian woman of colour, who has experience working through a culturally inclusive lens. Through my lived experience and growing up in a multicultural society, it has given me a unique ability to see cultures from a different viewpoint; both the importance of beliefs & values that come from our cultures, whilst also recognizing the internal conflicts they can cause us as individuals. I believe as mental health providers it is important to meet the diverse needs of individuals within the community.
