Hello, my name is Lily and I am a student counsellor at the Stenberg Wellness Center.

My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from a variety of approaches to best suit your unique needs and goals. Whether you are navigating trauma, grief and loss, abuse, anxiety, depression, life transition, self-worth, mindfulness, relationships or personal growth, I will tailor our work together to support your healing and empowerment.

As a Vietnamese Canadian I bring a culturally sensitive lens to my work, especially in supporting clients who are navigating Asian cultural struggles, generational trauma and the impact of family dynamics.

Having gone through my own share of challenges I deeply understand how difficult life can feel at times, and how the right support, guidance and listening ear can make all the difference.

I offer a space where you can truly be seen, heard and accepted, a space where it is safe to be yourself, to nurture your inner child and heal through love and compassion.

If you feel we would be a good fit, please book a session with me. I am here to walk alongside of you on this path of self discovery, healing and growth.

Hello!

My name is Karene, and I am a counselling student at Stenberg College.

I understand that life can be messy. Sometimes, challenges just feel overwhelming. I am here to help you find your way through those obstacles in a space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Having navigated my own challenges, I know how important it is to feel understood and supported. One thing is for certain: you deserve to be seen, you deserve to be heard, and most importantly, you deserve to have someone truly listen and understand what makes you you.

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, focusing on listening without judgement and supporting you in ways that work best for you. This is your journey, your experience. You are in the driver’s seat, and I am here to ride alongside you. Together, we can steer through any bumps in the road and find a direction towards your personal healing.

If this feels like the kind of support that you are looking for, I would be so happy to hear from you!

Hi, I’m Romy. Thank you for taking this step toward your healing journey—it’s not always easy, and I want you to know you’re not alone. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are emotionally and provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly heard, understood, and accepted without judgment.

With over 13 years dedicated to supporting those impacted by crime, trauma, grief and loss, I have always felt a deep honour to be a source of strength for people during their most vulnerable times. Whether you’re coping with a recent loss or carrying long-standing grief, I’m here to help you find comfort and strength.

In a world where we can be connected to everyone and everything, we can become disconnected with those closest to us, including ourselves. I believe that healing begins with a strong, trusting relationship that focuses on connection and safety.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and client centred and that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to work collaboratively with you to address both immediate and long-standing concerns and help you uncover your inner strengths and provide you with tools and strategies that create lasting, positive change.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

When is comes to navigating life’s challenges, it can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. In our fast paced culture, we are bombarded by a constant stream of information and a social consumerist narrative, holding the false promise that if we have more and do more, we will be happy. We have learned to push through and keep going, and this has created normalcy around juggling all areas of life and putting ourselves last. Self-care often slips to the bottom of our priority list when we need it the most. We numb ourselves with a multitude of readily available coping mechanisms, everything from scrolling, to substances, to simply ‘tuning out’. We lose connection to those around us and ultimately, ourselves.

My goal as a counselling student is to provide a space where you can simply show up and ‘BE’. I invite you to come as you are, from all walks of life, and enter a space where you can increase your understanding of yourself and others. My professional background for over 15 years as a Certified Dental Assistant has allowed me to serve my community in the oral health profession, and I have gained valuable experience building trust with my patients, especially those suffering from intense and crippling dental anxiety. It is incredibly rewarding for me to see my patients overcome their dental anxiety and proritize their oral health and well being. This realization led me to explore the possibility of shifting the environment and context of how I can help people.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, ruminating thoughts, divorce, relationship or parenting challenges among other mental health concerns, there is hope and help available to you. While my theoretical approach is still growing, I gravitate toward working through a Systemic lens while incorporating CBT, mindfulness, and the Somatic mind body connection. I am open to working with all individuals without judgement while fostering a warm, genuine, empathetic environment where you can be vulnerable and open. If you are ready to explore what change could look like for you, I welcome you to take the first step and book a session. I look forward to the opportunity to be invited into your wellness journey.

Hi, I’m Jeffrey, a Counselling Therapist Intern at Stenberg Wellness Centre. A lifelong learner, musician, and single parent of an eight-year-old daughter, I bring a patient, emotionally intelligent, and no-nonsense presence to my personal relationships and my clients. I contribute to the community through counselling, creative work, leadership, and hosting a biweekly peer support group for men’s social and emotional wellbeing. These experiences reinforce my belief that healing happens in relationships.

For my practicum with Stenberg Wellness Centre, I want to work with couples & individuals navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship challenges, grief & loss, cults, high-control groups, and religious trauma, as well as queer, neurodivergent & gifted experiences.

My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and direct, and I aim to be genuine, curious, and candid with my clients. Some of my interests are Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS, or parts-work), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), narrative-based talk therapy, and mindfulness.

My own healing journey has taught me that there is no shame in getting help when you need it and your suffering can transform into healing. I commend you, reading these profiles means you are already taking a step forward. You don’t need to do it alone. I’m here to walk beside you through the struggle.

Hi, I’m Shauna, a counselling student with a lifelong passion for empowering people to feel stronger, lighter, and more at home in their own bodies and lives.

My journey began in the world of fitness and yoga, where I’ve spent over 20 years coaching movement and teaching others how to reconnect with their bodies. Those experiences taught me that healing doesn’t just happen in the body or the mind, it happens in both, together.

I bring that same philosophy into the counselling space. I believe therapy should feel supportive, compassionate, and grounded, with space for lightness when it’s needed most. My approach is person-centered, somatic, and mindfulness-informed, always tailored to your needs.

Outside of my practicum, I work as an Active Living Coach supporting people with brain injuries. Together, we explore ways to move, connect, and live more fully, which continues to show me how resilient and creative people can be.

If we work together, you can expect warmth, curiosity, and a gentle reminder that you already carry the strength you need, sometimes it just helps to have someone walk beside you while you find it.

If you’re curious about starting therapy, I’d love to meet you where you are. Reach out anytime, I’m here when you’re ready.

My name is Jade, and I have always felt that I should understand and support those around me. From a young age, I have known that helping others was something I was meant to do. After experiencing my own challenges, I learned the importance of support and compassion, and how healing truly begins when we feel seen and understood.

In my journey as a counsellor, my goal is to walk alongside those that I work with as they navigate their own journey. I see counselling as a collaborative process that honors each person’s story.

In the words of Carl Jung, “ I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

Hello! I’m Julie — and I’m so glad you’re here. Before I trained in counselling, I spent years in the world of music and opera — helping people find confidence, expression, and joy in their voice.

Now, as a Stenberg Counselling intern, I’m honoured to help you connect with your inner voice — and feel more like yourself again.

As a Mom I have experienced many of life’s ups and downs, which has shaped my belief in the strength and inner wisdom we all have.

I offer support with:

• stress + overwhelm

• anxiety

• fears + phobias

• anger

• perfectionism

• traumatic memories

• grief + loss

• depression

• divorce + life transitions

• feeling stuck or blocked

I work from several modalities because I know each person is unique. With my background as an EFT Practitioner, I also offer Tapping, which is a powerful tool to manage anxiety and trauma.

You don’t have to carry everything by yourself anymore. I’m here to walk with you — with warmth, compassion, and respect — as you take steps toward living a fuller life.

Welcome to the Stenberg Wellness Centre. I appreciate you considering me as a source of help in your journey towards wherever it is you want to go.

As a cisgender male of colour who has lived experience with anxiety and depression, I am most passionate about working alongside other men who would like a space to connect, feel and share.

I am a firm believer in Professor Gerard Egan’s philosophy of empowering clients with the mindset and the skills to meet any “unmet opportunities” within their lives. It is a lesson that I learned during the very first class required from this program, and it is something I continue to take with me within my own journey.

Working alongside me will require a level of self-challenge to achieve a better version of yourself upon the completion of each session.

Topics within counselling I am especially passionate about, but am not limited to, are: career development, the navigation of interpersonal dynamics and coping with grief/loss.

A little about me personally: I am a high performance youth girls basketball coach. In my free time, I am a Vancouver Whitecaps FC Season Ticket holder, and an avid supporter of Arsenal Football Club, as well as the NBA and the WNBA. Apple TV’s ‘Severance’ is my favourite show of all-time, and Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ is my favourite movie of all-time.

Looking forward to getting to work. (!)

With a keen interest in the natural environment and a holistic approach to health, I believe in the interconnectedness of all aspects of life, from current affairs to spirituality and mental health.

I welcome clients from all walks of life as I continue my journey through my counselling program, aiming to cultivate beneficial therapeutic relationships and promote multidimensional growth. Drawing from my experiences in healthcare, forestry work, firefighting and the marine industry in the Great Bear Rainforest, I value and respect each individual’s unique cultural background. I look forward to exploring the depths of personal and collective well-being on our shared path toward healing and self-discovery.

Hi, I’m Prabhdeep, a practicum student counsellor completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University under clinical supervision.

Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not sure where to start, have never been to counselling before, or have learned to manage everything on your own. I strive to offer a warm, gentle, and non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are and talk about whatever feels present for you, even if it feels unclear or difficult to put into words.

I am a culturally responsive and empathetic listener, with over six years of experience supporting newcomers and individuals navigating major life transitions. I am fluent in English, Punjabi, and Hindi, and I am especially mindful of the emotional and cultural challenges that can come with adjusting to life in Canada. I welcome individuals who may feel hesitant to seek help due to stigma, language barriers, or uncertainty about counselling.

My approach is person-centred, strengths-based, and collaborative, drawing from CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-informed perspectives, while remaining flexible to each client’s unique needs and pace. I value creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported in making sense of their experiences.

I am particularly interested in working with newcomers to Canada, individuals experiencing depression or emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, new mothers navigating postpartum experiences, and those living with chronic illness. I recognize how isolating these experiences can feel, and I aim to support clients in feeling less alone while exploring coping strategies, resilience, and self-understanding.

I am committed to ethical practice, ongoing learning, and compassionate care. We will provide a safe and welcoming space where you can speak freely, explore your concerns at your own pace, and begin your counselling journey with support and care.

As a Counselling student at Stenberg College, I am excited to work with communities to enhance my skills and knowledge.

I have had the privilege of contributing to a local network that serves communities across British Columbia, as well as on the 988 helpline, providing support to individuals across Canada.

I firmly believe in the potential for growth that resides within each of us. At times, we may find ourselves stuck and in need of collaboration to gain a fresh perspective that propels us forward.

I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Nature based therapy, Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), Family Systems Therapy and Somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with their strengths and move toward emotional balance.

I believe that healing from trauma is not only possible but deeply transformative when nurtured in an environment of empathy, respect and understanding.

Healing and change come from understanding one’s own story and finding empowerment along that path.

Remembering to find the laughter, love, life purpose and positive moments throughout our day is essential to well-being. I will walk alongside clients as they heal, grow, and reclaim the sunshine in their life.

Hi, I’m Shay, a practicum student under supervision with Stenberg College. I strive to bring empathy, openness, and understanding into every counselling relationship. Coming from a multicultural background and having navigated complex family dynamics, addictions, relationship challenges, and life transitions myself, I value creating a space where clients feel truly seen and supported.

I also prioritize self-care so that I can show up grounded, energized, and fully present in my work with clients.

Hi! My name is Janzen and I am a counselling therapist student at Stenberg College. In supporting my clients, I will be applying concepts and interventions from Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy into an overall Person-Centred approach.

I am a first-generation immigrant from the Philippines, the middle child of three children, from a single-parent household. I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology and Counselling before coming to Stenberg College to pursue Counselling. My background is in telecommunication sales and in social services as a youth and behaviour support worker. Active listening and patience are skills that I have had years of practice on, and I look forward to using them to help my clients navigate their problems in counselling.

As a counselling therapy student with a strong foundation in Early Childhood Development, I bring both academic knowledge and practical experience supporting children and families, particularly those who are neurodivergent. My work in this field has deepened my understanding of the diverse ways individuals experience the world and the importance of fostering environments that promote acceptance, growth, and emotional well-being.

My personal experiences have also shaped my approach to counselling. Having experienced significant loss and grief at a young age, I developed a deep empathy for those navigating life transitions and emotional pain. Beginning a new chapter as a single mother in my early 30s further strengthened my commitment to helping others find hope and renewal during difficult transitions.
