Counselling
Whatever you’re facing…stress, burnout, uncertainty, or many other struggles. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Counselling for burnout, workplace stress, anxiety, and the challenges that affect life and work.
In person in Ladysmith and virtually across BC.
When keeping up is taking too much out of you
You might still be getting through your days, but noticing that you have less energy, patience, or confidence than you used to.
You may be:
Bringing work stress home and finding it hard to switch off
Replaying conversations or worrying about what might happen
Feeling overwhelmed by expectations at work and at home
Struggling with boundaries, conflict, or saying no
Adjusting to a health concern, loss, or major life change
Wondering whether you need a break, more support, or a different direction.
Areas of Focus
Burnout and Workplace Stress
If work is leaving you exhausted, anxious, or with little energy for anything else, we can look at what’s keeping that stress going. Counselling can help you build ways to recover, set boundaries, and identify changes that support your health at work and at home.
Career Direction & Change
When your job no longer feels right, it can be hard to know what comes next. Together, we can explore your strengths, values, and circumstances, consider realistic career options, and work through the uncertainty that comes with making a change.
Workplace Dynamics
Conflict, bullying, or feeling unsupported at work can affect your confidence and wellbeing long after the workday ends. We can talk through your experience, make sense of its impact, and explore communication, boundaries, and options for moving forward
How I work
My approach combines space to talk with practical tools you can use between sessions.
Together, we can:

Notice patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and responses
Practise ways to settle your nervous system
Build boundaries and communication skills
Explore choices that fit your health, values, and circumstances
My credentials in counselling, vocational rehabilitation, and career development allow us to consider both your mental health and the realities of your working life.

The length of therapy is tailored to your individual goals and the challenges you're facing. For some, short-term therapy (6-12 sessions) is effective in addressing specific concerns, while others may benefit from longer-term support. Throughout our time together, we'll regularly assess your progress to ensure the therapy remains aligned with your needs. Many clients also find it helpful to reach out on an as-needed basis once we've worked through the initial challenges.

What to Expect in the Intake Process
Your first session is an intake appointment designed to give you the time and space to share what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to work on. Together, we will explore your background, current concerns, and goals, as well as any relevant personal history, so I can gain a clear understanding of your needs. This session is also an opportunity for us to determine mutual fit and suitability for working together — ensuring the therapeutic relationship is a good match for your needs and goals. From there, we will decide on next steps and create a plan that supports you moving forward.
