Evelyn (they/she) is a Canadian Certified Counsellor. They are a queer, non-binary counsellor providing individuals and relationships space to navigate identity, connection, and paths forward. Their main areas of support include relationships, sex, desire, shame, non-monogamy, kink, and communication.
Evelyn’s approach is emotion-focused, somatic, parts and attachment-based. They firmly believe that all of us deserve access to our emotions, pleasure, and bodies in a way that feels connected, secure, and free from shame. Clients often come to her holding feelings of shame, disconnection, concerns about their relationship, sexuality, or identity. Whatever brought you here, Evelyn collaborates with you to explore those emotions, identify needs, and find paths forward.
As a queer, non-binary person, they also bring lived experience for exploring identity and this informs their practice as she invites all parts of yourself into the space, including those that may be contradicting. Evelyn supports you in harvesting the most meaning and growth from therapy. Her goal is for the process to feel curious, hopeful, and playful.
Evelyn’s practice is guided by three main principles: - Slow is Fast: Rather than being rushed to off-the-shelf solutions, Ev takes time understanding all parts needed to cultivate transformation. - Somatic Embodiment: They integrate wisdom of the soma (body) in addition to more cognitive talk-based therapy, creating neural pathways and deeper healing. - Co-Create Safety: They believe that safety and trust in our chats is to be cultivated together. This means co-creating a space that feels affirming, safe, and nourishing for your relationship to yourself and others. Evelyn believes that you are the expert in your own life.
Evelyn supports both relationships and individuals. She specializes in the areas of relationships and sex therapy. Specific areas of support include: pleasure, intimacy & desire, boundaries, communication, identity, neurodiversity, chronic pain, grief, and trauma. They are passionate about providing affirming care for BDSM & kink, non-monogamy, and queer & trans folks.
In addition to counselling, they also offer Hormone Readiness Assessments for trans & non-binary individuals (18+) wanting to work with an endocrinologist in BC, and facilitated relationship check-ins (R.A.D.A.R.s). Check-ins are an important part of a relationship that fosters mutual appreciation and accountability. RADAR sessions are collaborative, structured check-ins for partners to communicate honestly and vulnerably. Evelyn will facilitate your check-in, supporting you to produce action-oriented plans and how to get there. RADARs are able to be booked as standalone sessions.
