Heather Kempton, MA, RCC Registered Clinical Counsellor | Certified High Performance Coach Offering virtual sessions across British Columbia
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through personal challenges, life transitions, and performance-related stress. My practice integrates evidence-based therapy with high performance coaching to help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and vitality.
Clients often come to me seeking support for anxiety, burnout, low mood, overwhelm, trauma, addiction, or relationship stress. Others are navigating parenting, career shifts, identity transitions, or feeling stuck in cycles of self-doubt or self-criticism. Whether you’re in a season of healing or growth, I offer a compassionate, structured, and holistic approach that meets you where you are.
My areas of focus include:
Anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation
Burnout and lifestyle alignment
Trauma and addiction recovery
Body image, eating concerns, and self-worth
Parenting and relationship dynamics
ADHD and executive functioning
Nervous system regulation and resilience
Performance and mindset coaching for professionals, entrepreneurs, and athletes
My work blends modalities such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused therapy, and somatic awareness. I also draw from my training as a Certified High Performance Coach to help clients implement habits that promote sustainable energy, focus, and confidence personally and professionally.
I believe symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and irritability are not flaws to fix but feedback to understand. When we listen to what the body and mind are communicating, we can make meaningful, values-based changes that lead to lasting results. My role is to help you develop the clarity, strategies, and inner strength needed to live and lead from a place of alignment.
If you're ready to make space for healing, reconnect with your goals, and create a more intentional way of living, I’d be honored to support you.
Integrating the Body into Mental Health and High Performance
In both counselling and coaching, I offer a holistic approach that recognizes the essential connection between the body, brain, and behavior. Many individuals seek change through mindset or productivity alone, yet overlook one of the most powerful levers of transformation: the body.
Your physical state holds the imprint of your stress, beliefs, habits, and trauma. Chronic tension, fatigue, shallow breathing, and burnout are not flaws; they are feedback from the nervous system. By tuning in rather than pushing through, we uncover the root causes behind emotional reactivity, exhaustion, and misalignment in both personal and professional life.
I help clients shift from dysfunctional coping strategies like overwork, rigidity, or emotional shutdown to sustainable, body-informed practices that promote resilience, clarity, and long-term well-being.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, parent, athlete, or high-performing professional, reconnecting with your body enhances your capacity to regulate under pressure, make clear decisions, and relate with greater empathy and presence. This work is not about aesthetics, it’s about reclaiming your energy, strengthening your internal safety, and leading your life from a grounded and embodied foundation.
Sessions may include discussion of lifestyle habits, movement, sleep, nutrition, and nervous system regulation, alongside cognitive and emotional strategies. When integrated with clinical counselling, this whole-person approach supports not just mental health, but full-spectrum growth and vitality.
You don’t just think your way into a better life, you embody it. If you’re ready to reconnect with your body and activate the next level of leadership, performance, or emotional well-being, I offer a space where physiology, psychology, and personal growth meet.
