ABOUT SOMA CLINICAL COUNSELLING IN NORTH VANCOUVER AND ONLINE ACROSS BC

Boundaries aren’t about pushing people away, they’re about staying connected to yourself. At Soma, we explore the emotions and patterns that make boundaries feel difficult, especially in close relationships. Together, we help you build the capacity to express your needs with clarity and care, while maintaining connection and self-respect.

Eating disorders are complex and deeply connected to emotions, control, and self-worth. At Soma, we approach this work with care and without judgment, exploring the emotional experiences and protective patterns beneath the surface. Our focus is on rebuilding a safer, more compassionate relationship with your body and yourself.

Grief is a natural response to loss. At Soma, we honour grief as something to be witnessed, not rushed. At Soma we hold space to process, hold memories, and gently integrate loss in a way that allows life to continue with meaning.

Anxiety is often a signal that something inside is overwhelmed, uncertain, or needing safety. At Soma, we gently slow things down to understand what your anxiety is trying to protect.

Transitions, whether chosen or unexpected, can feel destabilizing. You may be navigating change in identity, relationships, or direction. Therapy provides a space to process uncertainty, reconnect with your values, and move through change with more clarity, intention, and self-trust.

Depression can feel like disconnection, from yourself, others, and the world around you. Rather than trying to “fix” it, we approach depression with curiosity and care, exploring the deeper emotional experiences underneath.

Trauma lives not just in memory, but in the body and nervous system. Our approach is slow, collaborative, and attuned focused on creating safety first.

Through somatic and emotion-focused work, we support you in processing what’s been held inside, restoring a sense of control, and reconnecting with your body in a safe way.

Addiction patterns often develop as ways of coping with pain, overwhelm, or disconnection. Rather than focusing only on the behaviour, we explore what’s underneath it,. Together, we build new ways of coping, strengthen emotional awareness, and support lasting, compassionate change.

Many of us were never taught how to fully understand or move through our emotions. Emotional exploration in therapy is about slowing down and getting curious, learning to recognize, name, and make sense of what’s happening inside.

Your attachment style shapes how you seek closeness, respond to distance, and experience connection. Whether you lean toward anxiety, avoidance, or somewhere in between, these patterns developed for a reason. At Soma, we help you understand your relational blueprint with compassion.
