Jennifer McDonald (Nurture Me Counselling)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Certified Trauma-Informed Coach
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything you can just to hold it all together—keeping the peace, staying strong, showing up for everyone else—while quietly losing pieces of yourself in the process. Feeling unheard, dismissed, or disconnected can take such a toll.
Hi, I’m Jen, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor in BC who works with adult individuals and couples. I offer calm, kind, and down-to-earth support for adults and couples who are navigating some of life’s toughest emotional terrain—whether that’s relationship struggles, grief and loss, or the lasting impact of emotionally immature parents or caregivers, you might be feeling stuck in the same painful patterns with your partner, struggling with in-law dynamics or family boundaries, moving through grief or loss—not just through death, but also breakups, transitions, or parts of yourself you’ve had to let go o trying to rediscover your voice after years of people-pleasing.
In our sessions, we’ll slow things down and make space for what’s really going on beneath the surface. You don’t need to have all the answers—just a willingness to explore what change might look like. My role isn’t to fix or judge, but to walk beside you with compassion and curiosity as you untangle what’s been heavy for so long.
For couples, I believe therapy is most helpful when both partners are open to the process. If you’re inquiring about couples counselling, please attend the consult call together.
When you’re ready, we can start with a brief, free video or phone consult—just a warm, honest conversation to see if we’re a good fit.
You can view my current schedule and availability and book your free consult video or phone call at www.nurturemecounselling.com.
Because you deserve care that feels safe, human, and real—the kind that helps you breathe a little easier and begin to come home to yourself again.

Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, battling anxiety, ADHD, Autism, or struggling with intense emotions and impulses? Do you find navigating social cues and communication challenging, making it difficult to build fulfilling relationships? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the influences behind your recurring patterns, so that you can achieve deep transformation and satisfaction. As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist experienced in navigating neurodivergent challenges, complex relationship dynamics, family/intergenerational issues, and narcissistic abuse, I tailor my approach to personal and relational growth, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.
My priority is to empower you to develop confidence, resilience, balance and a positive self-image. My therapy practice is also rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay of our common humanity and individual uniqueness. I use a bicultural and mindfulness lens to draw from my own process of self-discovery and emotional experience to meet you in yours.
Meaningful change is possible and I am here to walk that path with you at your pace. Together, we can reshape entrenched habits that no longer serve you and overcome barriers. Reach out to me for a complimentary 50-minute consultation to begin your journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.
