Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Choosing a Counsellor or Psychotherapist is a very personal process. It can be difficult to take that first step, even if it is not your first time in therapy. I am a Vancouver based Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Private Practice. I offer both in person and online sessions. I also offer 15 minute free telephone consults to help you decide if you feel the connection you need to enter into this very vulnerable and personal relationship.
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the BC College of Social Workers, and have my Master of Social Work (MSW) from UBC; a Bachelor of Arts (BA), in Psychology; and a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), both from McMaster University.
I have over 22 years of extensive clinical experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, families and groups. I work with all ages on any issues that are getting in the way of the client experiencing life to its fullest in the very personal way they want to live.

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.

Clear Minds Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC, Psychotherapist, Counseling Therapist, Psychologist, Registered Social Worker
From Our Founder
Clear Minds Counselling was built around a simple idea: **therapy should create change.**
Too often, people come to us after spending years understanding their struggles. They can tell us where a pattern came from, recognize that a reaction isn't helping them, and know exactly what they *should* be doing differently—yet when real life happens, the same response takes over.
That isn't because they haven't tried hard enough. It's because understanding something consciously doesn't necessarily change what the brain and body have learned to do automatically.
That's why we operate differently.
At Clear Minds, our therapists don't rely on one approach or simply sit across from you and talk about the problem. We work **bottom up, top down and side to side**, using evidence-based, neuroscience-informed and experiential approaches to address thoughts and beliefs, nervous-system responses, unconscious patterns and learned reactions.
We believe in creating experiences within therapy that allow clients to practice something different—not just understand something differently. We challenge patterns, build practical skills, regulate responses and help clients create new evidence that the brain can use to update what it has learned from the past.
Our therapists have their own personalities, specialties and clinical approaches, but the philosophy behind Clear Minds remains consistent: **therapy should translate into real life.**
Whether you're coming to us for individual, couples or family counselling, our goal isn't to keep you in therapy forever. It's to help you understand what's happening, change the patterns that are getting in your way, and develop skills you can continue using long after you leave our office.
**You don't have to keep repeating the same patterns.**
Maybe you're ready for something different.
