Florence Ling

Florence Ling has been in private practice as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #8350) in British Columbia since 2012. She holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Olivet Nazarene University and is an International-Certified Crisis Chaplain, having been a Charter Member since 2008.

Florence has extensive experience supporting clients facing a wide range of concerns and life challenges, including depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, self-esteem difficulties, perfectionism, parenting concerns, separation & divorce, family & relationship issues, grief & loss, trauma, life transitions, and personality-related challenges. She works with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and provides inclusive, client-centered care tailored to each person's unique needs, experiences, and goals. She is committed to offering compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental support throughout the therapeutic process.

With an empathic and integrative counselling style, Florence creates a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. Guided by the belief that every individual is unique, she draws from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to best meet each client's needs and help them discover their strengths, build resilience, and achieve meaningful personal growth.

Florence views counselling as a collaborative process that helps individuals gain greater self-awareness, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. Her goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive space where healing, self-discovery, and positive change can occur.
Through therapeutic conversations, Florence helps clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their life & emotional challenges, relationships, family dynamics, cultural influences, and life experiences. This increased insight can empower clients to make positive changes, improve coping skills, enhance relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, Florence brings a strong multicultural perspective to her work. She values the interconnectedness of body, mind, and believes that healing is best supported through self-care, meaningful relationships, education, and personal growth. For clients who wish to incorporate faith into counselling, Florence is able to integrate spiritual perspectives in a manner that respects each individual's beliefs, values, and personal journey with God's love.
