Life Transitions
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Life transitions, whether welcome or unwanted, have a way of arriving with a sense of velocity that can feel disorienting, anxiety-inducing, and isolating, and at Nightingale Counselling we specialize in meeting clients exactly where they are and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and narrative therapy, tailoring the approach to the specific nature of the transition each client is navigating. Perhaps most importantly, counselling offers something that life transitions rarely allow for on their own: the chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your values and strengths before taking your next steps forward.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCC
Navigating big changes in your personal or professional life can be overwhelming. Counselling for such changes in life gives you a safe space to process stress, cope with the unknown, rediscover who you are, and build practical tools for your next chapter. Whether it's a job change/loss, marriage/divorce, grief/loss or aging, it can be beneficial to seek help and support.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
There's a particular kind of disorientation that comes with major change, even change you chose or wanted. When the structure you were living inside shifts, it can leave you asking who you are without it, and what you actually want now. I work with people in that in-between space, helping them get oriented and find a direction that genuinely fits, not just the next thing that looks right from the outside.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Whether you are navigating divorce, heartbreak, career uncertainty, parenting challenges, a spiritual awakening, identity shifts, dark nights of the soul, or a season of deep personal transformation, support can help you move through change with more steadiness. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with attention to the nervous system and energy field, honoring what your body and heart are holding so we can gently address healing from the root. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that helps you reconnect with inner safety, clarity, and trust as you move forward. If you are feeling caught in the in-between, sensing that something needs to change, or moving through fear and uncertainty in the unknown, I would love to support you.

Life Transitions
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Life transitions—even the positive ones—can pull us out of our comfort zone and trigger 'parts' of us that feel anxious, overwhelmed, or lost. Drawing on over 15 years of experience guiding individuals through major life shifts, I understand that change often ripples into our deepest insecurities.
Whether you are navigating a career move, a relocation, or a shift in your family dynamic, I provide a stabilizing space to help you find your footing. We work together to understand the 'survival strategies' that emerge during times of uncertainty, helping you move through the transition with clarity and a strengthened sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you transform a time of upheaval into an opportunity for genuine personal growth.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Sometimes life changes in ways you chose, and it still hits harder than expected. Sometimes it changes without your permission entirely. Either way, transitions tend to surface questions about identity, direction, and who you are outside of the role or chapter that just ended. That disorientation is worth taking seriously, not just pushing through until the next thing settles.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising a significant majority of the population and Mandarin and Cantonese widely spoken — creating a therapy community where demand for Chinese-language and culturally competent therapists far exceeds available supply. The city's proximity to Vancouver International Airport and its role as a gateway community for recent immigrants from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan shapes a therapy landscape particularly attuned to immigration stress, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the identity challenges of first-generation residents. Richmond Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that is increasingly building capacity in Chinese-language care. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains a significant barrier, and many therapists in Richmond invest considerable clinical energy in normalizing therapy as part of their work.
