Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Let's talk ADHD!
Are you newly diagnosed ADHD? or an experienced hyperactive/ inattentive brain? I focus on working with and understanding the ADHD brain, looking at the challenges, strategies and differences of living with ADHD in a neurotypical world- let's get into it!
I believe in a person-centered approach that provides unique, tailored support for each individual. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, gaining a deep understanding of your challenges, experiences, goals, and emotions. In addition to fostering emotional well-being, I incorporate strategies to enhance executive functioning skills—such as organization, time management, and emotional regulation—to support overall life balance and daily functioning. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing overwhelm, ADHD, anxiety, or depression, as it strengthens key life skills that promote resilience and personal growth.

Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
I offer a calm, supportive, and intentional approach to therapy where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin responding to life with more clarity and choice. Our work focuses on emotional regulation, confidence, and rebuilding trust in yourself, while gently addressing the deeper habits and experiences that continue to shape your reactions.
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and motivated, yet find themselves repeating familiar emotional or mental patterns despite their best intentions. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of anxiety and self-doubt can be exhausting — especially when you’ve already put effort into change and still don’t feel steady or at ease.
This is a collaborative process for those who are ready to engage thoughtfully, reflect between sessions, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Daniel Keith McMath
Life Coach, PCC, MPCC
You’ve likely tried to move forward—but the same patterns keep showing up.
Not because you’re broken, but because something deeper hasn’t been fully faced or worked through.
I work with people who are ready to stop circling the same issues and actually get to the root of what’s going on. This is focused, direct work designed to create real change—not just insight. You can work with me through a Clarity Session, ongoing coaching, or a focused Deep Dive intensive.
If you’re ready for real, meaningful change—you can reach out here to book a Clarity Session or ask any questions before getting started.
Together, we:
• Identify the patterns that keep repeating
• Understand what’s driving them beneath the surface
• Reconnect you to your values and inner compass
• Create grounded, real-world change
My approach blends coaching and counselling with deeper personal work—so you’re not just talking about your life, you’re actively reshaping it.
If you’re looking for quick fixes or surface-level support, this likely isn’t the right fit.
If you’re ready for real, meaningful change—we’ll work well together.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
