Counselling Vancouver
Even in pain, we carry inner strength that can guide us toward healing and connection.
Through individual therapy, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop the tools to overcome the struggles that have held you back.
I provide a space of curiosity that is non-judgmental and confidential to explore and gain insight into your life and work.
I offer personalized, high-quality care. I see a limited number of clients in a warm tailored environment. This ensures consistent, thoughtful support for each client.
I can help with:
Trauma processing and healing from critical incidents encountered on the job.
Coping skills to manage stress, burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion effectively.
Emotional regulation techniques to navigate intense emotions and reactions to stressful situations.
Improving relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
Reducing symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety.
Career support to enhance job performance, increase career longevity, and reintegrate after high-stress incidents.
I understand the specific culture, pressures, and unique challenges of being a helping, healing or crisis response professional.
I provide a compassionate, safe, trauma-informed approach to my work with:
Healthcare workers
First responders
Public safety personnel
Peer support workers
Mental health professionals
Educators

EMDR
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy approach that helps people process and integrate distressing memories. By using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the brain in reprocessing traumatic experiences so they feel less overwhelming and more manageable.
-
Research has shown EMDR to be highly effective in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Documented benefits include decreased emotional distress, fewer intrusive memories, improved resilience, and greater overall well-being, often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy.
AEDP
-
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on creating safety, fostering secure connection, and helping clients process difficult emotions through positive, healing experiences. It emphasizes growth, resilience, and transformation rather than just symptom relief.
-
Research and clinical evidence show that AEDP can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma while strengthening emotional regulation, self-compassion, and relational connection. Clients often report feeling more open, resilient, and able to experience joy and intimacy in their lives.
Walk & Talk Outdoor Therapy
-
Walk & Talk Outdoor Therapy integrates the benefits of traditional counselling with the grounding effects of movement and nature. Sessions take place outdoors, offering a more relaxed and open environment that can make it easier to process emotions and reflect on challenges.
-
Research shows that combining physical movement with therapy can reduce stress, ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, and enhance emotional regulation. Many clients also find that walking side by side in nature fosters clarity, creativity, and a deeper sense of calm and well-being.

How can Anxiety Counselling Help?
Helping and healing professionals — nurses, teachers, social workers, therapists, and first responders — often give endlessly to others while quietly carrying the weight of anxiety, stress, and burnout. Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to process those challenges, restore balance, and build resilience. At Fine Balance Counselling, we help you manage anxiety and trauma so you can continue your important work with greater clarity, strength, and ease.

Depression Counselling for Helping Professionals
Depression can leave you feeling numb, disconnected, and overwhelmed—especially if you’re a healthcare worker, crisis response, or helping professional carrying the weight of others every day. Counselling offers a safe space to process what you’re going through, rebuild resilience, and reconnect with yourself.

Trauma Counselling for Crisis Response, Helping, & Healthcare Professionals
When your role is centred on caring for others, it’s easy to put your own needs last. Over time, carrying your clients’ or students’ struggles can lead to compassion fatigue, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. Trauma counselling offers a space where you can process what you hold for others, restore your own balance, and reconnect with the purpose that drew you to this work.
