Vanessa Timmons
Life Coach, ACC, CPCC, MMT
As you move through life's many phases, it can be hard to hear your own voice clearly amid everyone else’s expectations. I coach people navigating transitions. Those shifts in career, relationships, identity, and purpose. Together, we make space to take stock, reconnect with your wisdom, and discover what feels true for your next chapter. My approach brings together deep listening, compassionate inquiry, mindfulness, and reflective writing. I offer a free consultation to explore what you’re looking for and whether coaching is a good fit.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
I know firsthand what it is like to live, move, and survive in a world that was simply not built with our bodies or identities in mind. As a blind therapist with low vision, my practice is informed by a heightened sensory and energetic attunement to movement, vocal expression, and the felt sense of what passes between us online. As a trans, queer, genderflux femme (she/they), I am deeply committed to providing accessible, non-gatekeeping care that actively welcomes your gender euphoria alongside your systemic exhaustion.
In this online therapy space, the burden of translation is completely removed from your shoulders. You do not have to spend our time explaining or justifying the daily impacts of ableism, transphobia, or marginalization; you are met exactly where you are with an immediate, shared resonance. We will work at a pace that respects your boundaries, allowing you to safely unpack your burdens and build a deeper, kinder relationship with your own body. For local clients in the Vancouver area, we can also explore moving our therapy outdoors for walk-and-talk sessions once we have firmly established our therapeutic foundation and connection.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
I believe therapy should make room for the full context of our lives, including the experiences, relationships, and systems that shape us. My approach is grounded in social justice and a commitment to affirming care. I work collaboratively and relationally, drawing on experiential and somatic approaches to help clients explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and process trauma.
My work is primarily trauma-focused, integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic regulation techniques. Our work can include exploration, curiosity, and making sense of your experiences, alongside deeper trauma work when you're ready. I have a strong focus on concussion recovery and a particular interest in supporting People of the Global Majority, 2SLGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks, people living with chronic illness and disability, and frontline healthcare professionals. I also offer direct billing to ICBC for eligible counselling sessions.
I offer online counselling through a secure video platform.

Jonah Fialkow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
I specialize in working with people struggling with ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I have deep empathy for the experience of anxiety and relationship struggles, and I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. I know that anxiety often comes from a place of just wanting to get it right, and I'm skilled in working through the underlying issues that contribute to anxiety so that you can feel confident and secure instead of frozen and stalled.
I understand how anxiety affects all stages of relationships (including finding a partner in the first place) and I support my clients to move from feeling lonely and disconnected to confident and secure. In addition to my individual work, I offer evidence-based couples' counselling using the Gottman method, which goes beyond just communication skills and gives practical strategies to create real change.
