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.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Life can feel confusing, heavy, or overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. In my counselling practice, I offer a calm, thoughtful space where you can untie the inner knots that keep you stuck, understand yourself more deeply, and build the resilience to face life with greater breath and grace. Drawing on neuroscience, trauma‑informed therapy, and mindful awareness, I help you make sense of your patterns, soften anxiety and tension, and reconnect with your inner strength. Clients often tell me they feel lighter, clearer, and more able to make meaningful choices after our work together. If you’re ready for compassionate guidance and lasting change, I’d be honoured to support your journey.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
I approach counselling as a quiet, supportive partnership where clients feel safe to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. I believe meaningful change happens not through pressure or fixing, but through understanding, patience, and compassionate guidance.
With more than two decades of experience, I support individuals facing emotional overwhelm, trauma-related stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My work is rooted in trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care, with attention to both emotional experiences and how stress is carried in the body.
I aim to offer a calm and respectful space where clients feel valued, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity, stability, and self-trust.

Alex Henderson
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, B.A
While my primary focus as a therapist to support and counsel, I always strive to achieve these goals by being a real person. I work hard to balance accountability, respect, humour and healing so that therapy can be something that we look forward to. I want to remove as much of the fluff from the therapeutic process and work as much honesty and integrity as possible and that is something that is reflected and felt in our sessions. I work with and affirm folks from all walks of life and from all identities as long as there is a willingness to show up.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.

Isabelle Tremblay
Life Coach, Isabelle Tremblay is a Purpose, Power & Mindset Coach helping high-achieving women move from burnout
If you’re a high achieving professional feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite your success, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I specialize in burnout recovery, mindset transformation, and purpose driven leadership for ambitious women who are ready to reclaim their energy, confidence, and direction. My approach goes beyond traditional coaching by addressing the root causes of stress, overperformance, and misalignment, helping you create lasting, sustainable change.
With over 20 years of experience in high level executive environments, I understand the pressure to constantly perform, lead, and deliver. I provide a space where you can reset, gain clarity, and rebuild from a place of strength, not exhaustion.
Clients choose to work with me because they are ready for real transformation, not quick fixes. Together, we move you from burnout to clarity, from pressure to purpose, and from success on the outside to fulfillment on the inside.
If you’re ready to feel like yourself again and lead your life with intention and confidence, I invite you to reach out.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising roughly half 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.
