Female Therapists in Sechelt, BC

Every day is another chance to change your life. Do you feel all alone with your problems? Hold painful feelings inside? Wish you could talk to someone? Do you ask yourself: How can I find happiness in my life? How can my partner and I work through our problems? How can I find a lasting and fulfilling relationship? How can I navigate feelings of burnout? How can I adjust to pregnancy and postpartum? I provide a calm, safe, nurturing environment for you to grow, change and heal. I offer support and a collaborative approach as you build on your strengths and continue to move forward in your life.

Counselling helps to gain self-understanding and create a roadmap for how you'd like your life to be. Ready (or almost ready) to tackle unresolved feelings or undiscovered beliefs, my client is willing to "dip their toe in the water" and take a chance. Clients feel supported, emotionally safe and ultimately in charge of their own process. Grounded in Adlerian Psychology, Anne also offers CBT, EMDR, Brief solution-focused therapy, mind-body approaches & use of self. Groups for separation and divorce, pet loss and textile therapies for anxiety & depression assist clients to re-connect with others & themselves.

Life’s challenges can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to proceed to meet your goals. These challenges may evoke feelings of sadness, worry, anger, insecurity, or confusion. You don't need to face this alone. It’s a brave and commendable step to seek support. Through a collaborative, client-centred, and evidence-based approach we’ll delve into your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical sensations, with the goal of uncovering the root causes of challenges.

Hi, I’m Rebecca, and I’m a Registered Counsellor, Trauma Specialist, Clinical Herbalist, & Coach. I’ve spent most of my life working with people, animals, plants… all living things really. I have a passion for supporting others in their journey back to the root of who they are. Helping them find the essence of what makes them feel whole and complete. We are all humans, perfectly imperfect in every way. We are unique, contradictory, seeking, and doing our best with the tools that we have available to us. I believe that our stories are sacred, and we have the power and the right to choose who we share our stories with.

Everyone sails through their own rough seas. Whether you, your child or family have been battling waves for some time, or a rogue wave has hit unexpectedly, I’m glad you’ve found your way here. I believe that everyone has within them the ability and potential to change their own lives for the better. When you are feeling lost, having the courage to be creative can provide a new perspective.

Do you find yourself feeling stressed, overwhelmed and anxious? Longing for a sense of peace, calm, and hope? Life can be challenging, and if we don’t have the tools to cope- some moments it can feel downright impossible. Sometimes we need actions to take, and sometimes we just need someone to truly listen. As a therapist, I consider myself not only an educator and guide, but a fellow human being here to support you where you’re at.

I do not have an "ideal" client. I believe in the importance of showing up as you are and I will do my best to walk alongside you. I specialize in areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, perfectionism, boundaries, burnout, and relational issues. I am part of Kindred Roots Therapy which is a private therapy collective that is focused on redefining the "traditional" therapy experience. We aim to normalize conversations about mental health, and apply a strengths-based and laid-back approach to therapy. I have worked in not-for-profits, and inpatient and community healthcare settings for roughly 10 years.

I envision life as a journey that is influenced by our experiences, our relationships with others, and our personal, societal, and cultural stories. As a therapist, I believe my role is to join you on your journey for a stretch, as a kind of wilderness guide who may be able to point out unrecognized phenomena, different perspectives, and highlight your strengths and values as they relate to your journey. The goals and direction are yours, and together, we will create a plan that's right for you. Coming to counselling is hugely courageous; I commend you on beginning your search for a therapist who will be a good fit for your goals.

Life has a way of challenging us in ways that can stop even the strongest of us in our tracks. Increased stress, sudden life changes, anxiety, unresolved trauma.... many things can trigger disruptive behaviours and emotions that throw us off-base, damage our health and relationships, or simply hold us back. If your mental or emotional well-being, your relationships with others or with yourself, or your ability to deal with problems is out of balance – whatever the issue or stumbling block, a safe therapeutic relationship can help you return to, or develop a greater sense of ease and well-being.

Are you looking for greater life satisfaction? Something needs to change but you just can't make it happen on your own? Or perhaps you want to check in with someone objective, for another perspective? Let's talk! Counselling doesn't have to increase your anxiety levels.

Maybe for the first time in a long time, it's all about you!
