Our Counsellors

Meet our team of highly skilled, compassionate, Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) available for in-person counselling in downtown Vancouver and online counselling sessions throughout BC. With an emphasis on mind-body connection, holistic care, and working through a trauma-informed lens, our therapists are here to support you on your journey toward healing and personal transformation.

Pre-Registered Counsellors

Our pre-registered counsellors, Alex Henderson and Olivia Robillard, have completed their Master’s degrees in Counselling Psychology and all required clinical hours. They are currently in the final stages of becoming Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.

While awaiting accreditation, they are offering reduced-rate counselling sessions, making therapy more accessible for those seeking support.

Alex and Olivia each bring a unique blend of warmth, curiosity, and evidence-based practice to their work. They support clients through life’s challenges with care that is grounded, compassionate, and practical.

Both counsellors are supervised by Anna MacGillivray, an experienced RCC and clinical supervisor, ensuring that the counselling you receive is professional, ethical, and aligned with best practices.

By choosing to work with a pre-registered counsellor, you receive high-quality, intentional care while also supporting emerging practitioners as they transition into full registration.
