My Philosophy

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and am certified to provide services through the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP). With over a decade of experience, I have supported individuals and families navigating challenges related to cultural identity, depression, grief, anxiety, and relationship concerns.

​

My therapeutic approach is grounded in collaboration and trust. I view the counselling relationship as a partnership, where we work together to develop personalized strategies that support healing and growth. I believe that individuals possess the innate capacity to make meaningful changes in their lives, and my role is to help foster the skills, insight, and confidence needed to take those steps.

​

In practice, I take a holistic and client-centered approach, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs, goals, and values of the individual. Core areas of focus include increasing self-awareness, enhancing coping and problem-solving skills, finding purpose and meaning, and creating practical solutions to life’s challenges. My aim is to empower clients to move forward with clarity and resilience, and to support them in building the tools necessary to achieve their own version of success.

Approach to Therapy

At Blissful Mind Counselling, our practice is rooted in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. We are dedicated to promoting individual well-being and providing compassionate, evidence-informed support to adults experiencing mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

​

Our approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing on a range of established therapeutic modalities to meet each client’s unique needs. Core methods include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Transformational Therapy, which is grounded in the Satir Model. CBT focuses on helping clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful behavioural changes.

​

Transformational Therapy utilizes the Iceberg Model to explore both surface-level symptoms and the deeper emotional experiences, core beliefs, and past influences that contribute to current challenges.

​

We also incorporate elements of Supportive Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which emphasize the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing. These approaches provide a safe, empathetic space for clients to explore their emotions, process life experiences, and develop insight. Psychoeducation and mindfulness practices are also integrated to enhance emotional regulation, build resilience, and support clients in applying therapeutic tools outside of sessions.

​

Treatment plans are collaborative and goal-oriented, with interventions tailored to reflect each client’s personal values, strengths, and therapeutic goals. Ongoing validation, empowerment, and skill-building are central to our work, and when appropriate, homework or reflective exercises may be introduced to reinforce progress between sessions.

    A structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify and modify unhelpful thoughts, behaviours, and emotional patterns to improve mental health and daily functioning.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
    Focuses on helping clients build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions, clarifying personal values, and committing to behaviour change aligned with those values.

  • Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST)
    A holistic, experiential model based on the work of Virginia Satir, emphasizing self-awareness, communication, and personal transformation through the exploration of internal processes and family systems.

  • Psychoeducation
    Provides clients with a deeper understanding of psychological concepts, mental health conditions, and coping strategies, empowering them to make informed decisions and actively participate in their healing journey.

  • Person-Centered Therapy
    A humanistic approach that emphasizes unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity within the therapeutic relationship, creating a safe environment for personal growth and self-discovery.

  • Self-Compassion Therapy
    Encourages clients to treat themselves with kindness and understanding, particularly in times of distress or failure, fostering resilience and emotional regulation.

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
    A goal-directed, strengths-based approach that focuses on identifying solutions and building on existing resources, rather than dwelling on problems or past difficulties.
