Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
I am a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC.
I specialize in gender-affirming care, hormone readiness assessments in BC, and identity exploration. Whatever brings you to counselling, I am here to support you. Many come for gender-affirming counselling, transition support, and hormone readiness assessments. Others for trauma, depression, anxiety, BPD, anger, bipolar, or other difficulties that they need support around. ANY topic is welcome. During the free 15 minute consult, we will talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.
You can bring something specific, or you can start with the sense that something is off and we will work it out from there. Many times, our environments don’t support us in the way we need them to. I help to name the context rather than treating it as a problem arising within you. I always aim to offer you the support and respect you need.
Sometimes meeting a new counsellor can be nerve-wracking. I’m here to offer nonjudgemental compassion and care for whatever is going on for you. No matter your identity or your beliefs, you are welcome here!

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Stress that won't switch off - saying yes when we wish we said no - constantly over-thinking: these are signs of a nervous system stuck in survival mode. Patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and anxiety aren't random. Perhaps these still feel necessary, or maybe they feel like flaws - they're not, at some point they helped. But, are we faithfully following a rule-book that no longer applies? Over time, the experience of being heard and attuned-to in therapy grooves an embodied sense of safety. As the nervous system finds more capacity to shift out of 'survival', more becomes available: rest that actually restores, patience in hard conversations, deeper connection with the people you love. Painful or shameful parts that once felt monstrous are often revealed as misunderstood - parts that were only ever trying to protect.

Rebekah Hart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MSc(a), MFT
As a psychotherapist, couple and family therapist, ecotherapist and drama therapist, I work with couples adults and groups at diverse stages of life. My work is systemic in that I see individuals as impacted by, and interconnected within, larger networks of relationships and social systems. The values underlying my practice are rooted in a long-term dedication to social justice, my belief in creativity as a healing force, and my love and respect for the natural world. Seeking help takes courage, and no one approach works for everyone. I work collaboratively, and tailor my approach to each unique person.
My work as a therapist is informed by attachment theory, a respect for the natural intelligence of emotions and the body, and an understanding of trauma and human development. My background includes advanced training in Family Systems, EFT Couple Therapy, Ecotherapy, Hakomi, and Drama Therapy. I specialize in working with climate distress and eco-anxiety.
I believe that, given the right support, each individual has the wisdom and resources within them to move towards positive change and wholeness. I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, ages and cultural backgrounds, as well as couples and families in traditional and non-traditional configurations.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Bonny is the founder and Clinical Director of Théla Psychotherapy Clinic, working with clients ages 8 and up who are navigating complex trauma, borderline personality disorder and other personality patterns, ADHD and neurodivergence, and the aftermath of narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships. She also offers individual, couples, and family therapy, with particular focus on attachment, identity, and women's mental health.
Bonny's approach is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and genuinely collaborative — she works alongside clients as equals, offering a different perspective when useful without ever invalidating their own experience. Many of her clients have already done real work elsewhere and are looking for someone who can go deeper, not start over.
She integrates EMDR, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2) and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, and somatic approaches — tailored to each client rather than applied by formula. Before becoming a therapist, Bonny spent over 14 years in ADHD coaching and brings a distinctive background in law, mediation, and conflict resolution to her clinical work. She is a recipient of the Attorney General's Victim Services Award of Distinction.
Bonny offers therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, in-person in Markham, Ontario, or virtually across Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
You've been managing. Keeping it together. Showing up for everyone who needs you, handling what needs to be handled, and quietly wondering why it still feels like something is missing or wrong.
Maybe you've survived something hard. Maybe you can't quite name what's weighing on you, but you feel it. Maybe life looks fine from the outside, and that almost makes it harder to explain.
Whatever happened to you, something covered the authentic you. Let's find it.
I want to be someone you don't have to perform for. Somewhere you can set down whatever you've been carrying, fall apart if you need to, and know that nobody here will judge you for it. Just someone who genuinely listens, cares, and helps you start asking: what do I actually want now?
Whether we meet online or in person, the experience is the same. The same care, the same presence, the same work.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. ____________ Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
My mission is to inspire a deeper appreciation, emotional connection, intimacy, and attraction in your relationship.
Many couples still love each other deeply but find themselves feeling disconnected, misunderstood, stuck in conflict, or unsure how to find their way back to each other. Over time, unresolved hurts, stress, resentment, and emotional distance can slowly replace the closeness and desire that once brought you together.
The good news: relationships can heal.
As a Relationship Attraction Specialist and couples counsellor, I help partners rebuild emotional safety, strengthen attachment, restore intimacy, and rediscover the connection and attraction they desire. I believe attraction is not only about chemistry — it is deeply connected to feeling emotionally safe, valued, understood, respected, and chosen by your partner.
I specialize in relationship challenges and help couples understand the deeper patterns underneath conflict, including attachment styles, emotional triggers, communication differences, relationship polarity, and the wounds from the past that may be affecting the present.
My approach integrates leading evidence-based couples therapy methods, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. These approaches provide couples with practical tools, deeper insight, and skills to create meaningful and lasting change.
It is incredibly rewarding to witness couples heal old wounds, improve their attachment, and begin treating each other as collaborators instead of adversaries. Together, we work toward creating a relationship where both partners feel seen, heard, validated, desired, and deeply connected.
How Can Relationship Counselling Help?
• Rediscover love, empathy, appreciation, and emotional connection in your relationship
• Feel seen, heard, and validated instead of feeling blamed, criticized, or abandoned
• Create emotional safety and learn how to become a team instead of opponents
• Understand how attachment patterns and past experiences influence your current relationship
• Learn how relationship polarity, intimacy, and emotional connection influence attraction in long-term relationships
• Rebuild trust after emotional or physical betrayal
• Move beyond anger, defensiveness, and control by connecting with deeper emotions and needs
• Develop healthy boundaries and make choices that create more peace and stability
• Learn communication and conflict-resolution skills that strengthen every relationship in your life
One of the most important parts of a healthy relationship is understanding your partner’s inner world — including what happens when they become emotionally flooded.
As the Gottman Institute teaches, couples create stronger bonds when they learn to understand, respond to, and care for each other’s emotional experiences.
Your relationship does not have to stay stuck in the same patterns.
Together, we can transform your relationship:
From conflict to connection.
From distance to desire.
From struggle to strength.
