I am a client-focused, strengths-based therapist who works with people who have experienced trauma. As a counsellor, I work with you in a gentle and compassionate way to identify actions, reactions, and behaviours that once served you but are now impacting your life. I work with clients to feel empowered to process their past and navigate the future they desire. I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, including people who have experienced sexual violence, sex work, addiction, and domestic violence. I approach each person with respect and provide them the dignity they deserve.

Using a holistic and heart-led approach to counselling, I integrate self-compassion, mindfulness, and somatic movement to explore the parts of you that make up Self. Through this approach, we lovingly challenge the shadow side of Self to connect with the heart and allow more space to live authentically. Informed by my intuition and anchoring into the present moment, I take a relational approach to navigate challenges and move through suffering alongside you. In our work together you can expect to tap into your body’s wisdom to access the hidden points of stress and call on your innate ability to heal.

I’m Inge. I have always been deeply attuned to the emotional and spiritual undercurrents of life and relationships. Perhaps you’re here because you find yourself in a messy, dense, dark, or confusing moment. It would be my honour to sit in the muck with you and work together to make sense of your life. I work from a depth psychological lens, rooted in the belief that the psyche has a natural instinct toward healing, wholeness, and growth. In this view, psychotherapy is a journey led by the client, and the memories, dreams, events, and ideas that arise in the process carve a pathway toward integration and vitality.

My approach is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space to explore life challenges and work toward improved functioning. I draw on different approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy and polyvagal informed theory in order to tailor the counselling experience to the unique needs of the client. My practice is centred around values of curiosity and respect for the client’s lived experience, with a focus on creating increased self compassion and internal safety. I believe that we can access internal strengths that foster improved wellbeing through increased awareness and intentional practice.

Hello. I have been a Counsellor for 25 years - 12 years of which I spent working as a Psychologist for the BC Government. I have been described as slightly non-conventional in the counselling world, which suits me perfectly, and also tends to suit the people I am working with. I am deeply caring, but I am also a straight shooter, and solution oriented. I strongly believe in the power of relationship (and humour), and I am open-minded and non-judgmental. I primarily use Narrative therapy, but I am trained in many modalities such as: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour therapy and more.

It is a privilege to support clients in reconnecting with their natural ability to heal and grow. I work with people navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship challenges. Together, we’ll create tools and uncover insights that lead to long-term change, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of self-trust and well-being. In our work together, you’ll feel both validated and compassionately challenged to examine and release old patterns in order to step into a more grounded, empowered version of yourself.

My work with individuals involves a deep somatic dive into your protective and wounded parts, so they can be healed. Then the light of the Self can shine through more and you can be free to feel yourself and be at peace within yourself. I also work with deeper issues including unattached and legacy burdens. I work with couples, who are curious about their nervous system. How do we get what we want out of a relationship? How do we stop doing the things that stop us from getting what I want? We look at the patterns in your relationship and winning strategies that get you what you want out of a relationship.

You might be feeling disconnected - from yourself, your body, or the people around you. Maybe you’ve been holding it all together for too long, and you’re ready for something to shift. I work with adults navigating identity, grief, parenting, addiction, and the long echo of relational and systemic harm. Many of my clients are caregivers, LGBTQ+ community members, or parents of trans and gender-expansive youth seeking grounded, affirming support.
