I believe that healing happens in safe, supportive, and authentic relationships. I work from a trauma-informed, person-centred, and developmentally informed lens, with deep respect for how early experiences and life stages shape emotional and relational patterns.

I work with children, adolescents, and families, and have experience supporting neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQIA+ clients. I deeply value relational, experiential, and movement-based approaches, and gently integrate somatic and creative practices to support emotional regulation and processing. I strive to meet each client where they are, developmentally, emotionally, and relationally, honouring their pace and experiences. 

Registered with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), I am committed to ongoing learning and supervision as I continue to develop my practice.

Meet Bernadette

I offer a warm, collaborative and non - judgemental space where individuals and couples can explore their experiences, build insight and develop new ways of responding to challenges. My approach is attachment based, trauma informed and grounded in the science of emotion and connection.

I integrated a range of evidence-based approaches, including Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotion Focus Family, Couple and Individual Therapy (EFFT, EFCT, EFIT) to support emotional regulation, deepen connection and foster resilience

I’m a registered Clinical Counsellor with over twenty years of experiences supporting caregivers and families, particularly those raising children with diverse abilities. I’m passionate about helping caregivers feel more confident, connected and supported as they navigate the complexities of parenting.

My background as an Infant and Child Development Consultant and work with the Integrated Child and Youth Team (ICY) has shaped my deep understanding of development, attachment and family systems. I bring a lens into my counselling work, where I focus on strengthening relationships and supporting meaningful and lasting change.

I am committed to ongoing learning, clinical supervision, and professional development to ensure that I am offering thoughtful, ethical and effective care.

Works with individuals, couples and children in partnership with their caregivers.
