Elysia Bronson (The Woods Counselling)
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Online Therapy, Chronic Pain, & Traumatologist
Chronic pain and trauma can leave you feeling isolated and like your life is shrinking around you. I understand. As a therapist who has also navigated chronic illness, I've walked a similar path.
I specialize in online therapy for chronic pain and trauma because I believe everyone deserves access to support, no matter their location or limitations.
Through online therapy, I offer a safe space to explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and build resilience. I work collaboratively with you to manage pain, increase energy levels, and reduce stress. My goal is to empower you to reclaim control and find joy, even amidst chronic pain and trauma.
It's normal to feel hesitant about opening up to a stranger. My website offers a glimpse into my story and my therapeutic approach.

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!

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I want you to know me beyond my credentials. I grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, and limiting beliefs that tainted my relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize my own worth and seek help. It was a journey of healing for me too, as I confronted my insecurities and found connection and purpose and my dedication in serving others. Now, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I’m committed to guiding you with care and compassion. Therapy with me consists of transpersonal and somatic techniques focusing on your growth, emotional experiences and connecting your body and mind. Together we will explore your inner emotional experiences to help you repair the pain you have experienced and support you in feeling seen, heard and ultimately thrive, honouring your pace and vulnerabilities every step of the way.
I offer personalized sessions to address your unique needs, fostering insight and resilience. In a safe and supportive space, I provide active listening and empathy to build trust. Equipping you with tools for stress management, communication, and self-esteem, we navigate challenges together. Taking the first step toward therapy can be transformative; I invite you to schedule a FREE introductory consultation. Let’s unlock your potential and create positive change, empowering you to embrace the life you deserve.

Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
As a highly sensitive therapist, I offer a warm, attuned presence and a deep capacity to notice the subtleties of a client’s emotional world. I tend to process information thoughtfully and reflectively, which allows for a patient, mindful approach that helps people feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe enough to explore vulnerable parts of their experience. Most of my therapeutic focus areas are intentionally chosen—they reflect experiences I understand personally and have spent years studying, integrating, and applying in meaningful ways. Because of this you can be assured that I am able to meet you where you are at, with sincerity and a dose of genuine humour, listening deeply, noticing subtle patterns and shifts, and encouraging steps forward in a gentle but challenging way.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Our life experiences—especially those marked by adversity, trauma, loss, or difficult relationships—shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. When painful experiences remain unresolved, they can contribute to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, persistent rumination, and deeply ingrained negative thinking patterns. Many people find themselves feeling disconnected from who they truly are, struggling to trust themselves, build healthy relationships, or find peace in the present.
My passion is helping individuals reconnect with themselves, heal from the impact of adverse life experiences, and cultivate a life guided by self-compassion, resilience, and authenticity. I understand that healing is not about "getting over" what has happened—it is about understanding how your experiences have shaped you, making sense of your emotional responses, and developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others.
I believe that much of our emotional suffering arises when we struggle to reconcile the gap between our lived reality and our expectations of ourselves, others, or life itself. Over time, this struggle can lead to self-criticism, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and a sense of disconnection. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you move away from surviving and toward genuinely living.
Whether you are coping with the effects of childhood adversity, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or a persistent inner critic, I will walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and respect. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and replace cycles of rumination and self-doubt with greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence.
I believe every individual is the expert on their own life and already possesses the capacity for growth and healing. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to create a safe, collaborative, and trusting therapeutic relationship where your strengths, values, and inner wisdom can emerge. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, honouring your experiences while helping you build practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and emotional balance.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a space where you can bring your whole self—your fears, hopes, struggles, and strengths—and know that you will be met with compassion, validation, and genuine care. Healing is a journey, and you do not have to walk it alone.

Rosemary Laurel
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Village Wise Woman here! What would you like to talk about? Can we sit together in sacred witnessing, holding space for all that is present? Let's do that. Transformation arises from pure presence and awareness. Let me hold space with you, really meeting you where you're at. You can have the space to just BE. Nothing is expected of you. You can just show up. I'll bring my ability to channel energy and radiate heart source coherence to alchemize whatever you're ready to rewire or let go of, as you to tune in to your own inner knowing.

Heartsong Counselling
Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Women often come to me when they’re carrying more than they can comfortably hold alone, and what makes my practice meaningful is the way we build a relationship that feels steady, safe, and genuinely supportive. I bring a relational, transpersonal approach that blends depth, intuition, and practical insight, helping clients explore their inner world with compassion and curiosity. Whether you’re navigating complex relationships, parenting challenges, anxiety, or major life transitions, our work together creates space for clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of self. If you’re looking for a therapist who values trust, connection, and thoughtful exploration, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I'm proud of how Grewp allows for affordable, consistent support while also being modern, helpful, relevant to busy lifestyles and budgets while at the same time building community.

Coquitlam is one of Metro Vancouver's Tri-Cities communities, a rapidly growing suburb that has attracted a large and diverse immigrant population—particularly from China, South Korea, and Iran—making it one of the most multicultural communities in the greater Vancouver area and creating significant demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapy. Fraser Health provides public mental health services, and access to Vancouver's much broader private therapy market—either in person or via telehealth—gives Coquitlam residents a wide range of options for culturally matched practitioners. The city's rapid growth and its character as a first landing point for many new Canadians means that acculturation stress, immigration transition, and intergenerational family dynamics are among the most common presenting concerns in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns also include anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and the challenges of navigating Canadian institutions and community life in a new country.
