Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Trauma isn't always a single dramatic event. Sometimes it's the accumulation of things that were said, things that happened, things that should have been there and weren't. Whatever form it took, trauma has a way of shaping how we see ourselves and the world in ways we don't always recognise. I work with people to process what happened at a pace that feels safe, using AEDP and a trauma-informed approach, so it stops running the show.

Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that supports the processing of trauma and PTSD. My work also centres the mind–body connection, recognising how trauma is held not just in memory, but in the nervous system. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, gently processing experiences while building stability and a greater sense of grounding. The aim is not to erase the past, but to help it feel less overwhelming and more integrated into your life.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Trauma can take many forms. It may come from physical or sexual harm, but it can also develop through betrayal by a spouse or friend, ongoing unsafety in relationships, emotional neglect, or wounds endured while growing up. These experiences can affect how safe you feel, how you relate to others, how you talk to yourself and how your mind and body respond in the present. I help you understand these responses and where they come from, and I help you process what happened and regain a greater sense of safety, choice, and control. You do not have to carry these open wounds forever. They can be scars from the past that no longer dictate your today or tomorrow.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
The effects of trauma can show up in many ways, including anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Often, these responses developed as ways of coping with experiences that felt too much, too fast, or too painful.
In therapy, we can move at a pace that feels right for you. Some sessions may focus on building a foundation of safety, trust, and emotional regulation, while others may involve deeper processing through approaches such as EMDR or parts work. Together, we can work toward helping you better understand yourself, reconnect with your emotions, and cultivate a greater sense of safety and self-trust.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
work with complex trauma through the lens of NARM, the NeuroAffective Relational Model. NARM understands trauma not as a single event but as the way early relational environments shaped your relationship to yourself, your needs, your boundaries, and your capacity for connection. We work with what is alive in you right now, the patterns your nervous system is still running, rather than asking you to retell or relive the past. This is present-focused, body-informed, and relational at its core.

Daniel Keith McMath
Life Coach, PCC, MPCC
Past experiences can continue to shape how you feel, react, and relate—often without you realizing it. You might notice patterns, emotional triggers, or a sense of being stuck. This work focuses on understanding those deeper influences and helping you move forward with more clarity, stability, and control.

Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy:
EMDR is a structured/manualized psychotherapy for people who have experienced trauma(s) in their life. It is different from talk therapy because the therapist uses specific detailed protocols and procedures such as the eight phases of treatment in EMDR. You do not need to know what this all means right now. Trust that there is a road map and plan to facilitate healing. There is less focus on therapist talk/interpretations. There is less focus on you speaking about trauma at depth. The progress gained is from your enhanced psychological processing. EMDR incorporates eye movements, tapping techniques, and other methods to unblock an imbalance in the brain’s information processing system. EMDR provides relief from symptoms and emotional distress as a result of trauma(s) (e.g., reducing intensity of PTSD symptoms and trauma related memories). The EMDR therapy process facilitates natural healing processes of the mind and removes blocks to healing.

Understanding our relationship with trauma is one of the keys to developing preferred narratives in our lives. Getting to know how it influences you and those around you. Exploring what tricks and tools you have in standing up to the trauma and its triggers as a way to develop an alternative path.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Trauma is both a mental and physiological experience that manifests differently for each person, and at Nightingale Counselling we approach trauma therapy with the understanding that simply acknowledging the presence of trauma and choosing to address it is already an act of profound courage. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, tailoring the approach to each client's unique history, cultural background, and therapeutic needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Whether the trauma stems from abuse, a single distressing event, or a lifetime of complex relational harm, our trauma-informed team is committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can begin to process the past, reduce the intrusion of painful memories, and reclaim a life that feels lighter and more fully their own.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
