Relationship Issues Therapists in Killarney, Vancouver, BC

We all have things we’ve been told about ourselves that we internalize and start telling ourselves. Do you struggle with a story or belief about yourself that holds you back? Does this cause you some stress, loneliness, conflict in your relationships, or even lead you into misusing alcohol or substances? Now, more than ever, a lot of us are feeling disconnected from others and under the spell of negative stories about ourselves. In my practice, my team and I believe that these stories can be rewritten, that we are each the author of our own lives.

Hello! My name is Euphemia and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MEd) from UBC. I also hold a Bachelor of Education (BEd) from UBC and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Emily Carr. I was born and raised in Vancouver, but spent many years in the Okanagan Valley and Vancouver Island. Before entering the counselling profession I spent a decade working as an art teacher. I consider myself a person-centered teacher and counsellor, viewing everyone I work with as a unique individual, holding them in unconditional positive regard.

I guide you toward healing through the art of conversation. Many therapists consider themselves to be just that: therapists. For me, therapy is a form of art. I believe healing takes place through feeling real, human connection, which means taking time to build an authentic, trusting relationship with each other. I work with you to explore emotional patterns, thoughts, and feelings, so you can step into the world as your most authentic, peaceful self. I strive to offer a peaceful environment where we can slow down and unpack difficult experiences together.

I support children (8+), youth and adults, and am currently accepting new clients. Compassion, presence and curiosity are the foundation of my therapeutic approach. At certain points in life things can feel overwhelming and confusing, especially when approached alone. Our relationships and work may suffer, and we may feel like we are lost and working against ourselves. I work with clients of all ages to explore their experiences, relationships, values and beliefs, and to develop a better relationship with themselves at a pace that is developmentally appropriate, collaborative, and grounded in trust.

In person or online; I’ve been helping my clients to break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. I am here to help you achieve a more positive outlook on life, and provide you with all the tools necessary to get you there. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. I’m committed to foster a diverse and inclusive environment for children, teenagers, young adults, couples, families, elderly, LGBTQIA + affirming community, people from all cultures and individual spiritual walks of life.
