About Kathryn (Katy)

Welcome! My name is Katy (she/her) and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I am also a Registered Art Therapist (RCAT) with the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA). I work with adults experiencing a range of issues including anxiety, stress, perfectionism, grief & loss, trauma, fertility issues, prenatal and postpartum mental health and eating disorders.

For nearly 20 years, I have worked with people from many backgrounds and stages of life who have experienced challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, eating disorders, relationships, substance use, perfectionism and self-worth, shame, grief and loss, life transitions, caregiver burnout and vicarious trauma, and identity.

My work with individuals is rooted in a trauma-informed, strengths-based, humanistic, and relational framework. I also draw from other counselling modalities including Art Therapy, Dialectical and Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) mindfulness-based and self-compassion-based approaches.

My approach is warm, supportive, and non-judgmental. I would be honoured to work together with you as you nurture your relationship with yourself and with others.
