About Kion

Welcome, and thank you for stopping here in your search.

My name is Kion and I offer in-person, video, and telephone appointment options to individuals and couples of all backgrounds from my accessible office in downtown Vancouver.

My practice is a safe and nonjudgmental entry point for anyone new to counselling/therapy and an ethical and restorative service for anyone discouraged by past negative encounters with the ‘healthcare system’.

Counselling can relieve suffering, support growth, and foster healing, but finding the right therapist, one who inspires trust and comfort, is difficult. That is why I encourage you to consult a range of counsellors to get a better sense of who feels right for you.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) most extended health and benefit plans offer full or partial reimbursement for my services. Please confirm your coverage with your plan provider.

Areas of common therapeutic focus that I support include:

-trauma
-depression
-anxiety
-relationships
-parenting
-family conflict
-behavioural issues
-addiction and compulsivity
-chronic illness
-grief & loss
-burnout
-identity & self-worth
-life transitions
-loneliness
-the search for joy, connection and meaning in life

Outside of private practice I have devoted 10+ years to counselling roles with UBC Postgraduate Medical Education, SFU Health & Counselling Services, Surrey School District, UBC Centre for Student Involvement and Career, and the Centre for Health and Evaluation and Outcome Studies.

I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology from UBC (MEd) with advanced training in trauma-informed group work, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Processing (AEDP).

My approach to counselling rests upon the comfortable and trusting rapport I build with my clients. Safety in our relationship nurtures flexibility and openness to new ideas, feelings, choices, and positive change in your life.

With care,
