Chronic Pain or Illness
Jasmine Gill Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Living with chronic illness or persistent pain - often an invisible disability - can deeply affect how you see yourself and navigate daily life. The impact is not only physical but emotional, shaping relationships, self-worth, and how you relate to your body.
In therapy, I aim to create a safe, attuned space to hold the grief and frustration that often accompany chronic illness, while exploring emotions such as anger, sadness, or fear that may be held beneath the surface. Together, we’ll examine how your experiences affect daily living, tune into the body’s signals, and gently support the nervous system in processing and regulating these responses.
Through this compassionate work, we aim to strengthen self-connection, reduce self-criticism, and cultivate strategies for resilience, self-care, and living with greater balance and emotional well-being despite ongoing health challenges.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Living with chronic illness or chronic pain can feel all-consuming and exhausting, affecting your physical health, emotional well-being, mental health, and day-to-day functioning. It often involves significant grief—particularly if diagnosis comes later in life—as you adjust to changes in your body, abilities, identity, and the way you move through the world.
I have a personal understanding of this experience, as I was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in my late 20s. Navigating chronic pain and nervous system dysregulation has been an ongoing process of learning, adaptation, and finding new ways to support my body and wellbeing.
In our work together, we focus on reconnecting with self, building resilience, and developing sustainable strategies for daily life. This includes cultivating self-compassion, strengthening nervous system regulation, and identifying supportive resources and pacing that honour your capacity.
I draw from Adlerian Therapy, IFS, ACT, EMDR and somatic therapy to support both emotional processing and practical coping. Together, we work toward creating a more balanced and manageable way of living with chronic illness or pain.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to learn more about my approach.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Chronic pain or illness can impact every aspect of your life. Having lived with chronic illness myself and supported others through their journey, I understand the daily challenges of managing physical pain while maintaining emotional and mental well-being. My approach integrates both traditional therapy and somatic techniques, helping you cope with the emotional impact of chronic illness. Together, we can work on strategies that ease both physical discomfort and the mental burdens that often accompany chronic conditions.

I want to empower you to feel more in control of your life and have the confidence and strength to cope with challenges. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Alex Henderson
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, B.A
I bring lived experience and both with chronic illness and pain as well as an intimate knowledge of how therapy can interface with these experiences. I recognise the grief and rage that can become key markers of our lives when we experience these conditions and I understand how anger and sadness can become braided and fused when we think about our bodies and our health. Nothing is too much for me to hear and everything is welcome when we discuss health.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Chronic pain and illness often have layers that go beyond the physical body. I work somatically, in a trauma informed and nervous system aware way, to gently explore the root patterns that may be contributing to ongoing symptoms. Our work may include inner child healing, IFS & parts work, hypnotherapy, or energy-healing based practices, always guided by your system and paced with care. I offer a specialized body-based healing program for women who are ready to receive in-depth, holistic, support for their physical and health concerns. I would love to support you.

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada, Telus, and other major technology companies — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
