FAQs

What types of counselling do you offer in Victoria BC?

We offer counselling in Victoria BC for both individuals and couples. Our work integrates somatic (body-based), nervous-system-informed, and relationship-focused approaches to support concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Therapy is tailored to each person or couple, so the process feels supportive, relevant, and sustainable.

​

Do you offer online counselling in BC?

Yes. In addition to in-person counselling in Victoria BC, we offer online sessions for clients throughout British Columbia. Online counselling provides a flexible and accessible way to receive support from your own space, while still engaging in meaningful, effective therapeutic work.

​

What is somatic therapy?

Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to counselling that focuses on how your nervous system and physical experience are connected to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Rather than working only through talking, somatic therapy helps you gently notice and work with internal sensations, patterns, and responses. This can support greater regulation, resilience, and a deeper sense of ease and connection over time.
