Effective Counselling and Neurofeedback
for Personal Growth.

Professional mental health care in Sechelt, BC, offered both online and in-person to suit your needs.

Welcome
to Fernwalk
Counselling.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, emotional intensity, insecurity, or painful relationship patterns?

Life’s challenges—whether personal, situational, or relational—can leave you feeling stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself. You don’t have to face things alone. Reaching out for support is a brave and empowering step. My approach is compassionate and non-judgmental, creating a safe space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work to restore clarity, balance, and a renewed sense of strength. I offer both counselling and Neuroptimal® Neurofeedback services.

As a counsellor with lived experience of anxiety, parenting, infertility, adoption, and perfectionism, I bring both professional knowledge and deep personal understanding to the work we’ll do together. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and resilience.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your relationship, or your child, I’m here to support you. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll create space for healing, growth, and resilience. When you're ready, I invite you to reach out and start your mental wellness journey.

Every individual’s journey is unique, which is why I combine a variety of evidence-based methods to suit your specific needs, including:

  • • Person-Centered Therapy (PCT)
    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
    • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
    • Gottman Method for couples
    • Narrative Therapy
    • Trauma-Informed Care
    • Mindfulness

  • Neuroptimal® Neurofeedback

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where your voice is heard and valued.

A path forward
that's right for you.
