Your Registered Clinical Counsellor in Victoria, BC
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, and who are looking for support as they navigate stress, emotional challenges, or life transitions. In adult therapy, I focus on creating a calm, grounded counselling space where you can explore what’s coming up for you without pressure or judgment.
My training is in depth psychology through Pacifica Graduate Institute, and I am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing. I aim to be steady, thoughtful, and present in my work, supporting adults as they build greater self-awareness, resilience, and clarity in their lives.
Adults seek therapy for many different reasons, and there is no single “right” reason to begin. If any of these experiences resonate with you, reach out to Steady Heart Counselling in Victoria, BC for counselling services that can offer a supportive space to begin exploring what you’re going through.
My approach to adult therapy is holistic and client-centered. I take time to understand your unique needs, goals, and preferences so we can shape the work in a way that feels meaningful and supportive for you. Depending on what brings you to therapy, we may draw from evidence-based and insight-oriented approaches, including:
In adult therapy, I may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a practical way to work with thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT can support greater awareness of patterns and help identify changes that feel achievable in everyday life.
CBT is used collaboratively and flexibly, rather than as a rigid structure. When helpful, it is integrated with talk therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and depth-oriented work, allowing sessions to remain responsive to your goals, pace, and individual needs.
Adult therapy typically begins with an initial session focused on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you would like support with. This first conversation helps clarify your concerns, goals, and what you’re hoping to gain from counselling.
Sessions are one-on-one and offer a private, welcoming space to talk openly about concerns related to mental health, relationships, work, or life transitions. This space is designed to feel supportive, respectful, and focused on what matters most to you.
Ongoing counselling sessions are collaborative and move at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy may focus on developing coping strategies, increasing self-awareness, and exploring patterns that affect your well-being, with support tailored to your goals and needs over time.
Therapy provides support for managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. It helps build coping skills, improve self-awareness, and foster personal growth.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with emotions, relationships, or past trauma, therapy can help. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
The timeline varies based on individual needs and goals. Some people see improvements in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy for deeper healing and growth.
