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.

Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
My mission is to inspire deeper appreciation, emotional connection, intimacy, and attraction in your relationship.
As a Relationship Attraction Specialist and couples counsellor, I help couples understand the deeper patterns that influence love, connection, and desire. Many couples still care deeply for each other but find themselves stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, misunderstanding, or emotional disconnection.
It is incredibly rewarding to witness couples heal old wounds, strengthen their attachment, and rediscover the partnership they once shared. I love seeing couples move from treating each other as adversaries to becoming collaborators who support, understand, and choose each other.
I believe meaningful change happens in a safe, empathetic, and authentic counselling environment. My approach combines evidence-based couples therapy with warmth, compassion, and even humour when appropriate, creating a space where couples can feel comfortable being honest, vulnerable, and real.
I help couples navigate challenges involving communication, emotional safety, trust, intimacy, attraction, and relationship patterns that may have developed over time. Together, we can create a pathway toward greater understanding, connection, and a relationship that feels alive again.
Is Fear Stealing Your Happily Ever After?
Over time, every couple faces a choice:
Fear or Faith.
Fear can create:
• Distance
• Protection
• Blame
• Control
• Resentment
Faith can create:
• Courage
• Vulnerability
• Responsibility
• Compassion
• Connection
Fear + Distance = Loss of Attraction
Faith + Connection = Restored Attraction
Discover where fear, ego, and old patterns may be blocking connection — and how emotional safety, surrender, and faith can help restore balance, intimacy, and desire.

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 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.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCC
My approach to counselling is holistic, honouring the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit, rather than focusing only on symptoms.
Having lived in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Canada, I understand personally what it can mean to navigate different cultures, identities, and ways of belonging. I have had the privilege of working with people from European, North American, Asian, African, and multicultural backgrounds, across different ages and stages of life. I welcome the unique culture, story, and perspective each person brings into the room.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use.
I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s.
I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you.
In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world.
If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.

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.

Surrey is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous and rapidly growing cities, with a large and diverse immigrant population — particularly from South Asia, the Philippines, and East Africa — creating strong demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists who understand the pressures of settlement, family expectations, and bicultural identity. The city faces significant challenges around substance use, gang-related trauma, and concentrated poverty in some neighbourhoods, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and community mental health serve an important role. Surrey Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, with a growing private therapy community reflecting the city's expanding population. Many Surrey residents access care through the wider Metro Vancouver ecosystem via transit and telehealth.
