Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, grief, identity shifts, and self-doubt, even when the change is positive or chosen. Having experienced many transitions myself, including moving across countries and continents, navigating cultural change, and shifting through different life and work roles, I understand how disorienting change can feel. I support adults navigating career changes, school stress, relocation, diagnosis, relationship changes, burnout, and new stages of life with clarity, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.

Life Transitions
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.

Life Transitions
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel unsettling, even when they’re positive. You might be navigating a career change, relationship change, move, loss, or a new stage of life, and finding yourself feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your sense of direction. Transitions often bring up deeper questions about identity, purpose, and where you fit, which can feel difficult to sort through on your own.
In our work together, we’ll create space to slow down and process what this transition means for you. Rather than rushing to find answers, we’ll explore the emotions, patterns, and underlying experiences that may be surfacing during this time. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll support both your emotional world and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself as you move forward.
I draw from approaches such as ACT, IFS, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll build practical tools to navigate uncertainty while also supporting deeper reflection, self-trust, and meaningful change.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

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.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Moving through major life transitions—whether expected or sudden—frequently disrupts your sense of identity and leaves your nervous system feeling highly untethered. In my Vancouver-based online therapy practice, I use creative and psychodynamic exploration to hold space for the discomfort of the unknown. I will walk alongside you through the ambiguity of change, helping you ground into your shifting reality with patience and self-compassion.

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.

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.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
