Counselling in Parksville, BC. Find the Right Therapist.

I am an adult/child/youth and family therapist and clinical consultant in private practice with 40 years experience. I founded the Centre For Expressive Therapy to provide counselling and psychotherapy based on my approach to healing, Holistic Expressive Therapy.

Olivia has a passion for helping people sort through the complexities of life, no matter how insurmountable they might seem. She is committed to helping clients of all ages experience healing, growth and breakthrough in their lives.

Sometimes life is difficult. We are unable to overcome the issues that are plaguing our life. While some may be able to address similar issues, they don't have the same past experiences that are holding them in a negative place.

As a counsellor my goals are to empower, inspire, teach and support, as well as provide an environment in which you will feel safe to walk down the road less travelled

I would be honoured to be a part of your healing process. I provide a professional, non-judgemental, confidential counselling service. My goal is to help you achieve your desired goals: such as feeling happy, content, 'normal', in an effort to live your greatest life.

I believe healing begins when we’re given the time and safety to be honest. As a therapist, I create a structured and caring space for that honesty — a place to explore the stories, patterns, and wounds that shape how you live and love.

Psychotherapy for individuals and couples who want to understand what lies beneath emotional and relational struggles, and to engage life with greater awareness, steadiness, and honesty.

I am easygoing, non-judgmental, and compassionate. I aim to be collaborative and work together toward a workable solution. I offer a safe space for clients to share their journey and feel heard for their story. Let's explore what healing and growth looks like for you

My approach to counselling is to respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and where they are. I work to support them using creativity, with warmth, understanding and at times, a touch of humour when appropriate.

If you're having a difficult time, I am passionate about helping you cope better and feel happier! Working together we become a team, of sorts, to determine a deeper understanding of your situation and create helpful solutions
