Hello and welcome. My name is Brooklyn, and I am currently a counselling student with Stenberg College.

Having grown up with a mentally ill father and faced countless traumatic events throughout my life, it has brought me to this career.

I truly believe every individual can benefit from counselling, and no problem big or small should be left repressed. Thank you for taking the first step in the right direction towards healing yourself and becoming the person you want to be.

Although I am still learning and gaining knowledge, I have interest in a variety of modalities to better help you. My interests include EFT (emotion focused therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) as well incorporating mindfulness with somatic therapy.

Once completing practicum, my interests will be to work with individuals specifically youth, and couples. I look forward to meeting with you and helping you better understand the emotions or feelings you may be having; Putting the right foot in a positive direction to help you heal your life.

I’m a counselling student at Stenberg College. I immigrated from South Africa a decade ago for a better life for my two sons (14 and 15). I believe that life is about relationship - with ourselves, others, and nature. I have a genuine love of people and connection.

Whilst I’ve always wanted to do this work, I’m thankful for all of the experiences and challenges I’ve had to this point - they have given me a deep respect and compassion for how difficult it can sometimes feel to be a person in this world.

Who can I help?

I look forward to working with children, adolescents, parents, adults, seniors, couples, and groups during my practicum.

What can I help with?

Generally speaking, we come to therapy because we have conflict, whether it’s emotional, relational, cognitive, or behavioural. Sometimes, we have so many problems that we don’t know where to start. And other times, we can’t seem to figure out what the problem is.

I am here to help you navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, obsessive worry, career difficulties, or intrusive thoughts.

Therapeutic approach - How can I help?

The ingredients of understanding and acceptance create an environment for healing.

Our work together will be primarily focused on Person-Centered Therapy. The role of the therapist is to help bring you to yourself, and to be right with you in everything you are saying. With generous active listening I will mirror and reflect back your attitudes and feelings. Doing this with a heart of acceptance - that you make sense exactly as you are in this moment - will help create a space where you can guide us wherever it is you need to go.

If they serve your own goals and interests, we might use interventions taken from a range of other therapeutic modalities such as:

Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Holistic Therapy.

Hi, welcome to my profile! I am a Counselling Therapist student here at Stenberg College. I love to create a safe space that is inclusive and non-judgmental, where individuals can show up as their authentic selves and take some curated time to get to know themselves better.

Everyone brings forward their own unique lived experiences and I intend to be a person who can validate and empathize with your stories and support you in reaching whatever goals you may have. Though I do have a personal interest in supporting those who are dealing with anxiety, body image, self-esteem issues, relationship troubles, family conflict, career changes and the trials and tribulations that come with being a Women of Colour, I am open to learning and supporting whatever it is you may be wanting support with.

When I’m not a Counselling Therapist Student, I enjoy my own self-care by crocheting, reading, scrapbooking or off travelling somewhere with a beach!

I am a warm, empathetic person currently in the Counselling Therapist Private Practice program at Stenberg College to become a Registered Clinical Counsellor. My Indigenous heritage has provided me courage, strength, resilience, and patience. I want to help people of all walks of life navigate difficult life situations. Everyone has different challenges they face, and everyone’s experiences are unique and valid. There is no space for judgement; only compassion. The last part I really take to heart; being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have found that this world needs more love and compassion.

I attended both University of Victoria and Vancouver Island University prior to enrolling at Stenberg. In my undergrad, I specialized in Biophysiology and Neuropsychology; learning about the intricacies of how our brains are hardwired, the impact of neurotransmitters, and how these things affect our thoughts and behaviours. With this knowledge, I want to specialize in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) by taking a Person-Centered approach that is also trauma informed. I want to help people reduce their anxiety and depression and help people overcome the effects that trauma has had on them.

Life isn’t always serious; we must remember to make time for the fun things. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and play competitive soccer where I am the goalkeeper. I also make time for self-care to ensure I remain focused, energized, and motivated.

Hi, I’m Demi! I’m honoured to support you on your wellness journey and grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you.

I have been drawn to the field of counselling by a deep desire to become the person I wish I had when I was younger. All past me needed was a kind and nonjudgmental presence to make her feel seen, understood, and a little less alone. I will endeavor to be that person for you if we work together. I will listen to your story with my whole heart, I will have your best interests in mind always, and I will never, ever judge you.

I work from a holistic and ever-changing selection of modalities, as I am still learning and finding the approach that works best for me and my clients. I resonate deeply with the principles of person-centred and narrative therapy, and I want to learn more about feminist and existential therapies. Alongside my studies at Stenberg College, I am pursuing continuing education in dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), art therapy, and therapy for religious trauma.

I value honesty, trust, genuineness, compassion, and inclusivity. I do my very best to embody these attributes through my work.

Outside of therapy, I love creative hobbies – I draw, paint, and make a variety of crafts. I enjoy playing video games. I also love travelling and exploring new places whenever I can.

I am happy to work with anyone who feels drawn to work with me. However, I would be especially glad to work with youth and young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, those who have been through religious trauma, and anyone who is dealing with anxiety and/or depression. I have lived experience in these areas that would allow me to relate particularly well to anyone who has also faced these issues.

I am a student member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists (ACCT) of Canada.

If you feel we may be a good fit, I’d love to connect and explore how I can support you on your journey.

Hello! My name is Brittany, and I am a counselling student at Stenberg College, dedicated to helping individuals on their path to healing and self-discovery.

Having navigated my own journey through life’s challenges, I understand the importance of compassionate, non-judgmental support. This lived experience fuels my commitment to helping others overcome obstacles such as addiction, trauma, family transitions, and career burnout. I am especially passionate about boundary work - exploring how boundaries shape our relationships with ourselves and those around us. I would be honored to support you in understanding, redefining, and creating boundaries that foster safety, connection and self- respect.

I take an integrative approach to counseling, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques with person - centered, narrative and mindfulness-based practices to help clients build resilience, cultivate self-awareness, and navigate life’s transitions with confidence. Rooted in a trauma informed lens, my work is grounded in safety, empathy and an understanding of how past experiences shape present patterns.

My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment, fostering self-discovery and resilience. As I continue my studies, I am committed to expanding my knowledge and skills to serve my clients effectively. I look forward to walking alongside those ready to take steps toward balance, healing, and a more fulfilling life.

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kayli, i have deep passion for hearing your story and walking alongside you through life’s challenges. I believe that every person’s voice matters, and my heart is truly in creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted just as you are.

My goal is to offer you a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space—somewhere you can breathe deeply, be your full self, and talk freely about what’s going on in your life. Whether you’re facing something heavy or simply looking for support and understanding, I’m here to hold that space with care and compassion.

I feel especially drawn to working with individuals, couples, families, teens, young adults, and children. My professional background includes years of experience supporting children and families in everyday life, which has given me a heartfelt understanding of the joys and struggles that come with those relationships. That said, I warmly welcome anyone who feels called to connect, no matter your age, background, or the challenges you’re facing.

I have a special interest and experience in working with anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. These are struggles that can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through them alone.

In our work together, I draw from three core modalities that I believe in deeply: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Play Therapy for children. These approaches help us explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a way that is supportive and empowering. If you’re curious about another approach, I’m always open to exploring what works best for you—this is your journey, and your needs come first.

It would be an honor to walk beside you as your counsellor. Healing is not always easy, but with the right support, it is possible—and I’d be privileged to support you every step of the way.

With warmth and gratitude, Kayli

Hello I am Tish, and a Counselling Therapy student at Stenberg College.

I grew up in Surrey, BC surrounded by a multicultural community with exposure to different backgrounds. I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, baking and spending quality time with family and friends.

As a student-counsellor, some things I find important within the therapeutic environment are empathy, congruence, respect, an open-mindset, and providing a judgment free environment. Therapy should be a safe space for all individuals to share their experiences and feel comfortable expressing themselves. I aspire to support individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and stress. I look forward to meeting with you!

“Change begins when you feel safe enough to be real.”

Hi, I’m Loralie, a Counselling Therapy student at Stenberg College. I offer a supportive, down-to-earth space to explore what’s going on in your life without judgment or pressure. Whether you’ve had therapy before or are feeling a bit lost at sea, I will strive to make the process as comforting, understanding, and rewarding as possible.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely thinking about getting support. If you’ve been feeling stuck, burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected, I want to reassure you that you’re not alone and don’t have to figure it out alone. Sometimes we get used to looking through the same window, the same view, and forget there are other ways to see the world- and ourselves.

My aim is simple: to help you explore professional therapy, explore new perspectives and support you as you take meaningful steps forward.

I support individuals through anxiety, relationship stress, grief, self-doubt, depression, life transition, body image, self-confidence, emotional balance and communication challenges.

I’ve also worked in women’s transition housing, crisis line response, peer support and physical rehabilitation, and I understand how important it is to feel seen, respected and heard.

I approach my work with warmth, collaboration, and a practical mindset. As an integrative therapist, I understand that each person’s experience is unique, and I draw from various evidence-based psychological therapies to meet you where you are. My goal is to provide you with fundamental tools, emotional support, and a safe space that allows you to reconnect with your inner strength and clarity.

Additionally, with my background in yoga and meditation, I am here to explore other holistic strategies for nervous system regulation if you find them helpful on your journey. Your needs and feelings are my top priority.

Therapeutic approaches I draw from: - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) - Person-Centred Foundation - Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT) - Narrative Therapy - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), - Compassion-Focused Therapy - Mindfulness-informed and trauma-aware support This allows us to adapt and stay flexible because therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all process.

And yes, sometimes I’ll offer “homework”-small, simple things you can practice between sessions to deepen the work and speed up your progress.

Let’s start with a relaxed, no-pressure chat. Tell me your story, because I want to hear it.

Remember, you don’t need all the answers, but you do need a place to start. So, let’s take a look through a new window together.

***I offer flexible scheduling upon request.

They say with age comes wisdom - but I believe it’s really about experience. The kind that comes from walking alongside others through their pain, and sometimes walking that same path ourselves. My approach is grounded in deep empathy and the belief that healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and accepted.

I bring real-life experience into my work, shaped by personal journeys through foster care, parenting a child with autism, single parenting, trauma, loss, domestic violence, chronic pain, cancer and other life transitions. These experiences have taught me not to judge, but to meet each person with compassion, understanding and respect for where they are in their journey.

In our work together, I offer a safe, non judgmental space where you can show up fully as yourself. Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs - whether you are seeking clarity, coping tools, resources or deeper emotional healing.

Above all, I’m here to listen and walk beside you. Together, we will explore your strengths, uncover hope and work toward building a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling - one you are excited to wake up to every day.

Hello, my name is Andy Silva. I am currently a Clinical Counselling Intern at Stenberg College. I got into counselling because I’m passionate about helping people navigate their way through life’s difficulties and am committed to working in a collaborative, engaging capacity that will lead people into becoming the best versions of themselves.

My past was not always easy and from time to time I found myself in trouble. As a teenager and while transitioning into an adult, counselling would have had great value for me. I am ready to give back and empower adolescents and young adults to enter the next phase of their lives with confidence and security. I look forward to helping people impacted by addiction or trying to support loved ones that are. Come talk to me if you need help with depression, anxiety, balancing the complexities of work, life and school, dealing with personal loss or juggling co-parenting situations.

My therapeutic approach is based on one that recognizes the principles of cognitive behaviour, narrative and solution based therapies and will adapt formulas combining them, reflective of my clients needs.

The quality of our thoughts and habits affect the quality of our lives. If we can all work each day to be even just one percent better than the day before, our future is bright.

ABOUT ME: My name is Sana Hasany, and I am a counseling intern at Stenberg College. My passion for helping people and listening to their experiences has led me to pursue this rewarding profession. I am empathetic, compassionate, and sincere in all my interactions.

I have a background in psychology, having completed a professional diploma in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and a certification in hypnotherapy from the National Guild of Hypnotists (USA).

WHO CAN I WORK WITH? As a newcomer to this country, I understand the challenges that come with diverse social dynamics, family structures, and personal struggles. I can speak Urdu, Hindi, and English, which allows me to connect with a broad range of individuals. I am happy to work with a broad range of people.

HOW WILL I HELP YOU? I am a person-centered therapist and am passionate about employing a blend of therapeutic modalities, as a single approach cannot address everyone’s needs. I incorporate interventions from different modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Hypnotherapy.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, self-care, self-esteem, grief and loss, anger, emotional dysregulation, or achieving personal, work, or school-related goals, I am here to guide you on your journey toward betterment.

I believe that people don’t need to be “fixed”; they simply need a lens through which to accept and live with their experiences in positive and healthy ways.

Bobrow (2011) notes, “what we cannot hold, we cannot process. What we cannot process, we cannot transform. What we cannot transform haunts us.”

Hello and Tansi,

I’m so glad you’re here. As a counseling therapist student, I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for your healing journey. My approach is rooted in person-centered and somatic therapy, as I believe healing happens when we connect with both mind and body.

I am especially drawn to working with women navigating self-care challenges, anxiety, or depression, and those seeking healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Coming from an Indigenous background, I carry a deep awareness of intergenerational trauma and how it shapes our daily lives. This understanding allows me to hold space with compassion and sensitivity.

Before stepping into counseling, I worked as an integrative health coach and chef, experiences that deepened my understanding of stress, burnout, and addiction recovery. After facing my own journey of nervous system healing, I became dedicated to helping others cultivate inner safety, resilience, and self-connection. With my certification in somatic trauma therapy, I integrate nervous system regulation into our work together—helping you reconnect with your body and find grounding techniques that uniquely support you.

In our sessions, we will take a holistic approach to healing—mind, body, and spirit. Through mindful movement, person-centered conversations, and earth-based therapies, we will explore what healing looks like for you, at your own pace.

When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll find me nurturing my garden, creating natural remedies, skiing, or enjoying the beach with my dog!

I’d love to connect and support you on your journey. If you’re ready to take the next step, feel free to reach out and book a session. Let’s explore healing together.

Hi! I’m Kallie, a practicum student pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I have experience working with clients of all ages, supporting them through challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, and life transitions. While I work with a diverse range of individuals, I have a particular passion for helping children, youth, and families, which has been a central focus in my previous experiences.

Through my own healing journey, I’ve come to appreciate how transformative it can be to work with a counsellor. I understand both the growth that can come from these conversations and the courage it takes to reach out for support. That’s why I’m committed to creating a safe, relaxed, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe a strong connection between client and counsellor is the foundation for meaningful change.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, offering a personalized and holistic experience. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help you gain clarity and recognize your strengths. Our work will be collaborative, reflecting your unique needs and goals.

In our sessions, you can expect a conversational, compassionate, and open style, often infused with gentle humour and curiosity. I understand that every session is different, and I’m here to meet you where you are. Whether you’re navigating a significant life change, struggling with mental health challenges, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to support you.

Taking the first step can be difficult, but you don’t have to go through it alone. If you’re ready to explore how counselling can help you grow and thrive, I invite you to reach out. Let’s take this step together.

Hi, I’m Kandis, a counselling student at Stenberg College with a passion for supporting people through life’s challenges. My path into this work began with nearly a decade as an Educational Assistant, where I had the privilege of walking alongside children, youth, and their families.

Hi! My name is Greg. No, I am not a telemarketer! I am a counselling therapy student at Stenberg College. My photo is exactly what I’ll look like on your computer screen while we talk about what is important to you.

I have faced some adversity in my life. Mental health issues and unhealthy relationships. Through personal reflection I have been able to grow as a person and improve my relationships. I have had many helpers along the way, people who highlighted my blindspots and listened in a warm and encouraging way. I hope to provide my clients with the same encouragement, a safe environment to explore their feelings and a listening, non-judgmental ear.

If you’re experiencing a difficult moment in your life, talking with someone openly provides relief and hope and is the first important step in navigating that difficult moment in a healthy way. I provide a friendly, professional counselling service that’s all about you, at your pace, with your goals in mind. All people and problems are welcome in my sessions. I’m looking forward to travelling with you on your journey!

Hello, my name is Sarah.

I’m a counselling student with Stenberg College and have been a practicing nutritionist for over a decade. I’ve been interested in health and wellness since I became a mother at a young age. Earlier on my studies inspired me to earn a degree in nutrition and have been working as a nutritionist since 2012. I have worked in many different health care settings, from fitness to addictions and trauma.

I’ve always been interested in preventative health measures but like for many Covid 19 brought a lot of change to my life, some of it especially difficult. Due to this though I know first-hand the value of what having support is, and just how important it is to have something to look forward to. Life can be very challenging sometimes but having someone to talk with and just be can help tremendously through these times of transition.

While learning about our physical health had been a passion initially, it didn’t take long to realize our thoughts and emotional health is equally if not more important. I’ve always considered myself a holistic health practitioner and since becoming a counselling student with Stenberg College I’m even more dedicated to learning more about how best to help others achieve balance, and wellbeing in all areas of life.

There are many areas of counselling I find myself drawn to. Aside from nutrition, I’ve really loved learning about cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and have rekindled my love for anything artistic. From gardening to painting, anything that can add a little spark. I hope to advance my studies in time in this direction as well. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve found helpful and be of help to others on their path to good health and wellbeing.

Warmly, Sarah

Hello! My name is Shaylee, and I’m excited to be a counselling therapy student at the Stenberg Wellness Center.

Despite years of struggling with anxiety and depression, my personal experience of the remarkable effects therapy can have on your life when working with a counsellor you truly connect with is what led me to choose this profession. I am now a dedicated and devoted student at Stenberg College, working to become a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), because I am eager to help others experience that same sense of growth and healing.

I am particularly interested in working with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, and low self-esteem. However, I am open to supporting anyone with various other challenges as well. I believe everybody deserves to feel seen, understood, and valued.

I enjoy using techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. I would like to work collaboratively throughout our time together to ensure each session is tailored to your unique desires and needs.

With first-hand experience, I understand how exposing and nerve-wracking it can feel to open up, voice your thoughts, and express your feelings. My main objective is to create a caring and non-judgmental space where you are safe to share freely while feeling heard, validated, and accepted.

I would love to support you in working through your issues, exploring your feelings, and helping you build a more positive, empowered sense of self.

“While it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing.” – Uncle Iroh

Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. As a student counsellor, I strive to create a supportive and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.

My approach is flexible and tailored to your needs, drawing from various counselling techniques to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and find the path forward that works best for you. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, or personal growth, I am here to support you—offering guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear.

You already have strength within you, but sometimes, a little help can make all the difference.

“Therapy is not about having someone fix you; it’s about having someone walk with you as you figure it out.”

My name is Sharina, and I am a counseling student who values compassion and takes an integrative approach to therapy.

I believe that everyone has a story worth telling, and sometimes, we just need a safe space to be heard. As a counseling student, I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I integrate aspects of different therapeutic models to meet each person where they are.

At its core, counseling is about connection—offering understanding, guidance, and a space free from judgment. Talk therapy can help uncover strengths, reshape unhelpful patterns, and bring clarity to difficult emotions. My goal is to walk alongside my clients, helping them feel empowered as they move toward healing and personal growth.

I am deeply empathetic, genuine, and committed to creating a space where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and rewrite their stories in a way that aligns with who they truly are.

Welcome, my name is Rebecca,

I am currently pursuing my studies in counseling at Stenberg College. With a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, I am passionate about providing a safe and empathetic space where clients can feel heard, supported, and empowered.

For the past five years, I have been working at a neuro-visual clinic in Victoria, where I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a diverse range of clients. In this role, I’ve gained significant experience supporting individuals, especially those who have experienced trauma, including patients recovering from car accidents. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the importance of addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of trauma recovery, and I’m deeply committed to helping clients heal.

As a counseling student, I am acquiring the skills and knowledge to address a wide range of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma, I am looking forward to working with clients 17 and up. I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that honors each person’s unique experiences and needs, while offering guidance through evidence-based techniques and compassionate support.
