Practice information:

Hello - I'm Meghan, a Registered Clinical Counsellor living and practicing in Vancouver, BC, also known as the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. 

I am currently accepting new clients, and if you're currently searching for a new counsellor, we might be a great fit. I encourage you to give me a call or shoot me a text at 780-904-7949, or email me at our.hidden.gems@proton.me, to discuss your healing journey. Alternatively, you're welcome to book a free-consultation or full session if you're ready to get started.

The Nitty-Gritty: Please see below for some additional details about my practice.

What type of counselling do I offer?

Right now, I am only offering virtual (video or phone) sessions. In-person counselling will be available later this year. Outreach counselling can be provided for unique cases.

What is my counselling style and approach?

It's a big question - in short, I use an integrative approach. This is a fancy way of saying I use a handful of clinical approaches, and mix and match based on a case-by-case basis. Each client receives unique treatment based on what they enjoy (or don't), what their issues or goals are, and is evidence-based (backed up by research).

What are my 'go-to' styles and counselling approaches?

Emotion-focused therapy, mind-body therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, somatic therapy, person-centred therapy, feminist therapy, and Adlerian therapy. All of my work is informed by interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal, and attachment theory.

What type of clients and issues do I work with?

My specialty is trauma therapy, and helping individuals with trauma to create and maintain meaningful and safe relationships. Below are a list of folks/issues that I specialize in supporting to develop relationships:

• post-traumatic stress disorder

• complex trauma

• childhood trauma/developmental trauma

• attachment wounds/inner child work

• intergenerational trauma

• family trauma

• mother-daughter family counselling

• parent-child family counselling

• folks with autism, autism spectrum disorder, identify as autistic, or neurodivergence

• men with histories of violence or anger issues

• gender and sexual minorities, including polyamorous, or those practicing non-monogamy

• folks who identify with borderline personality disorder are welcome

• co-parenting, divorce counselling, separation counselling, breakup counselling

Didn't see yourself there? No worries - because I'm an adventurous therapist, I love working with all sorts of clients, issues, and goals; however, it's important for clients to know that while I am open to learning how best to support you, some issues and types of therapy require special attention and credentials. If I'm not qualified to support you, I will support you to find a clinician who is.
