Therapists in V2W

Burnout is real. It impacts our relationships, overall health, work, and ability to parent. In a time of such uncertainty and inflation, the stressors tend to accumulate rather than dissipate. Find yourself at max bandwidth mentally and emotionally? I specialize in relationships, from the one you have with yourself, to those closest to you. My primary focus and niché centers around couples therapy, co-parenting, and divorce support. The facets of relationships change, whether you’re together or apart, my goal is to support couples on their journeys with the best interest of children in mind.

Do you find yourself stuck in painful patterns that limit you and your life? Do you struggle in your relationships with your partner, family or others? Do you feel anxiety, depression, or other feelings that impact your enjoyment of life, relationships or career? Life and relationships can feel hard sometimes, and when we are unable to find ways through the most difficult moments, we can be left confused, lost and in pain. We are social beings who desire connection, relationship, and to feel a sense of belonging.

I help teens, adults, couples and families understand and manage the root cause of their anxiety. People often spend a great deal of time trying to find the why. "Why am I so anxious in social settings?" Why does anxiety make my body feel this way?" "Why is my child okay at home but anxious at school?" I believe knowledge is power and having productive solutions and strategies result from asking How. "How do I manage the anxiety?" "How do I get myself to do things that are important to me?" "How do I support someone else with their anxiety?" I show and teach what to do differently.

You deserve to feel good about yourself. Even if that feels completely impossible right now. Even if a mean little gremlin of an inner critic has been telling you otherwise, maybe for your whole life. So many things get in the way when it comes to how we feel about ourselves and our lives - stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, dysfunctional relationships, toxic work environments, isolation, etc. It can feel like a million boulders piling up on top of you until you can't even see which way is up. I've been there and counselling was one of the things that helped me find the light again. The journey is easier with support.

As a registered clinical counsellor I'm able to offer effective clinical support that is specialized just for you. With over a decade of experience supporting mental health & substance use challenges I have the ability to provide a neutral and safe space for individuals, couples & families.

Modern life is very challenging and there are many reasons that might have brought you here looking for counselling. Whether you are dealing with a crisis, at a crossroads, or you just want to heighten your wellbeing, the hardest step can be making the move and reaching out. We can be struggling with the challenges of daily life, big transitions, unmet expectations, difficult relationships, and past trauma. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, people pleasing, having a hard time setting boundaries and saying no. You might be using coping methods that aren’t as effective as they once were.

I am a Registered Clinical Counselor as well as a Certified Life Coach. The therapeutic approaches I use are dependent on your unique needs. If you have landed here, chances are you haven't been feeling quite like yourself. Whether you have lost a loved one, your career, a significant relationship or even your sense of self, you have come to the right place.

I am a Registered Psychologist (since 1995) with training and experience in clinical (& forensic) psychology. I provide caring & compassionate therapy using the most effective therapies that are matched to your needs. Psychotherapy involves developing a therapeutic relationship in which you feel at ease, setting goals, and choosing methods to achieve these goals. People tend to overcome or manage issues after they develop understanding of what is amiss, develop motivation (if needed), learn healthy expression of emotion, & learn to examine and confront thoughts while practicing new behaviours.

The largest comfort that counselling can bring is space for connection. Connection back to yourself, your relationships and the world around you. Through the counselling partnership you will have the opportunity to explore your strengths, resiliency and have real conversations about the life you want to create. The counselling experience is tailored to your specific needs in efforts to achieve health, balance and happiness. You set the pace at which you feel most comfortable with, whether that's jumping into the deep end right away and tackling the hard stuff or gently wading in the shallow end. It's your journey & your timeline.

More than ever, there seems to be so much to fear in the world. The great thing about fear is that we can change how we look at it. Although that may sound difficult, it's a simple shift in our perspective. If you struggle to make sense of this new world, if anxiety or depression have creeped into your life, I can help. Working together, we can find solutions, fresh perspectives, insight, and the opportunity to create positive change in your life. Sometimes it just helps to talk, and I am here to support you.

I started Out of the Woods Counselling with the goal of providing individuals, couples and families with evidence-based interventions and techniques to relieve them of challenges that keep them stuck - depression, anxiety/OCD, post traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, self harm, and addictive behaviours. I have been working in the mental health field for a little over ten years now, in health care and private practice settings.

I provide psychological services to children, adolescents and young adults at the Langley office of Dr. K. Axford, R. Psych. and Associates. I offer empirically supported treatments to address a wide range of mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, and behaviour challenges. I provide therapy with compassion and respect for the hardships that my clients are facing. In my work, relationships are integral, particularly between parents and their kids, and I often include parents in sessions to help enhance communication and co-regulation.

Not all Binges are a Choice. The exact cause of BED is unknown, but chemicals in the brain, family history and certain life experiences may play a role in Binge Eating Disorder. BED often begins in the late teens or early 20s. BED affects slightly more women than men. About 40% of those with BED are male. I believe we “know” when our eating behavior is off and that dieting will not resolve the underlying anxiety. There is help, I’ve been there.

I believe in a non-judgemental person centered form of counselling. In particular, I work with children and youth who identify as neurodivergent. Together with parent(s)/and/or caregiver(s) I provide support and care for the daunting challenges that can occur when a person is neurodivergent. I have been working in the school system for over 21 years. I have experience working with children and youth from ages 5-17 as a support teacher and school counsellor. I understand the importance of providing a safe, caring, and secure relationship with all students but particularly with neurodiverse children.
