Maple Ridge, British Columbia therapist: Reema Qamar, counselor/therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Reema Qamar

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Driven by compassion and empathy, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals in healing from the impact of mental stress and distressing life experiences through achieving personal growth and enhancing their well-being as they navigate through emotional difficulties and life challenges. I hold the perspective that human suffering arises when we have difficulty reconciling the difference between our reality and our expectations, which leads to disconnection from ourselves in the form of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. I am here to walk alongside you on your path, whether you are navigating through stressful circumstances, dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic experience, or in need of compassion to feel heard or validated. I truly believe that each individual is the expert on their life and holds the potential to heal through their inner strength and wisdom to improve the quality of their life. With validation, compassion, and trust in the therapeutic relationship, I can help individuals heal from past trauma and support them in moving through emotional complexities. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for our sessions where we can connect and chat about your concerns.

Burnaby, British Columbia therapist: Ferzana Jamani, counselor/therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

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.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Chris Russell

Counsellor/Therapist, BA Psych, high honours, RCC
I am here for those in need, seeking wisdom and guidance with Love and Honesty. I have over three decades of experience in helping people understand their emotions, fears and psychic blocks towards success in relationships as well as personal success in life. Your first step is reaching out to someone, like myself; the second step is the inner work of self discovery, and honest acceptance of past pains and disappointments. Then the work towards change and growth and healing begins.

Burnaby, British Columbia therapist: Kim Alscher, registered psychotherapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

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.

Langley Township, British Columbia therapist: Darren Williamson, counselor/therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Darren Williamson

Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
My goal in counselling is to help you to find what's missing in your life. Perhaps it is issues with identity, or ongoing conflicts in relationships, or a feeling of "stuckness." Mutual respect and trust are vital components to our work together. I offer a unique setting where we can work through the topics you bring in a non-judgmental way.

Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Kristen Bailey Counselling, counselor/therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Kristen Bailey Counselling

Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I truly love helping people have a better relationship with themselves (and those around them as a side effect) and be able to make more conscious choices in their life and believe in what I have learned both personally and professionally to help people get there. Over my time as a therapist (and in going through my own journey) I have seen how that what brings people toward truly feeling better is learning to be more self compassionate, building acceptance of their own story and how it has affected their life and developing a more neutral relationship with the thoughts and feelings that they experience.

Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Sophia Kopelow, registered psychotherapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Sophia Kopelow

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
Do you find yourself getting overwhelmed and overstimulated easily? Tend to overthink or feel anxious? Or perhaps you’ve been called “too sensitive” or emotional? Have you ever noticed that you take longer to process things, and need more downtime than others? If any of this resonates, you, like myself, might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and I’m so glad you’re here. I understand how it feels to process things more deeply, to have a strong desire for purpose and meaning in the world and to connect to a spiritual practice. My mission is to help guide other sensitive souls embrace their sensitivity as a gift, and to step into their most authentic, confident and aligned version of themselves. I want to help you work with it rather than against it. I provide counselling for individuals and couples with a wide range of challenges including: anxiety, depression, healing trauma, relationship difficulties, spiritual/religious exploration, emotional regulation, life transitions, self esteem/self worth, disordered eating, personal growth and struggles related to neurodivergence (HSP, Autism, ASHD). We all need someone who embodies the phrase, “I see you, and I care”, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to be that for my clients. Your inner experience matters. I believe the world is a better place when more deep feeling, sensitive people feel comfortable and safe in their skin and I can’t wait to support you in this process. This work takes courage, trust and commitment, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to get curious about your inner world, and to start focusing your energy on your own well-being and healing, head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation. I offer in person, online and walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you.

Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Kylie Feller, licensed professional counselor
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Kylie Feller

Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
My approach is compassionate, intuitive, and grounded in the deep knowing that healing is possible—because I’ve lived it. Everything I offer is rooted in what has personally helped me heal complex trauma and reconnect with my True Self. I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS) with somatic practices to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to shift out of survival mode. I know there is so much more to life than just getting by—and if you're ready to experience that for yourself, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
