Warmest of Welcomes
Taking the first step to reach out for support takes courage, and if you are here, something in you is ready.
Maybe you are tired of feeling anxious in your relationships, always waiting for things to fall apart or wondering why closeness feels so hard. Maybe you are dealing with depression that dulls everything, or anxiety that will not quiet down no matter what you try. Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns: people pleasing, shutting down, pushing people away, or never quite feeling like enough. You cannot always explain it. You just know something needs to change.
You are in the right place.
I am Amanda, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor based in Abbotsford, BC, working with clients in person and across Canada online. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the kind of deep emotional pain that shapes how you see yourself, how you love, and why certain patterns keep pulling you back no matter how hard you try to move forward.
I am warm, direct, and real. Sessions with me feel more like a deep, meaningful conversation than anything clinical or cold. I ask good questions, I notice things, and clients often tell me they felt comfortable and opened up faster than they ever expected to. That is not by accident. That is the relationship we build together, and it matters just as much as any approach we use.
Alongside counselling, I am trained in Brainspotting and Hypnotherapy. These are approaches that go beyond insight and help your brain and body actually heal, not just cope. If you have tried talk therapy before and felt like something was still missing, this might be why. We go at your pace, always.
I work with clients in person in Abbotsford, BC and online across Canada. If you have been putting off reaching out because you are not sure online therapy would feel real or personal enough, I hear that. And I want you to know that some of my most meaningful sessions happen online. You can do this from your own couch, in your own space, wherever feels safe and comfortable for you. That matters.
You do not need the right words. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to take one small step.
Ready to take that next step? Book your free 15 minute consultation. It is a relaxed, no pressure conversation to see if we are the right fit, and it could be the beginning of something that changes everything.

Couples Counselling
Every relationship hits hard seasons. Couples counselling isn't about taking sides, it's about helping you and your partner truly hear each other again. Whether you're navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or simply feeling disconnected, this is a space where both of you matter and real change becomes possible.
Individual Counselling
Sometimes life gets heavy, and carrying it alone makes it heavier. Individual counselling gives you a private, judgment-free space to explore what's going on beneath the surface, whether that's anxiety, past trauma, low mood, relationship struggles, or simply feeling lost. Together, we'll work at your pace to help you understand yourself more deeply and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Brainspotting
Certified Brainspotting Practitioner Phase 1:
Trainings through Pacific Brainspotting Training
Brainspotting is a gentle, brain-body trauma processing therapy that helps you process and release what talk therapy sometimes can't reach. Using a specific eye position, we locate where stress, trauma, or emotional pain is stored in the brain and body, and support your nervous system in healing it naturally. No need to find the perfect words. Your brain already knows how to heal; brainspotting simply helps it do that.
"She was compassionate toward my feelings, and felt like she was walking alongside as I got to learn more about myself. Amanda provided tools and resources to help me manage my emotions and had personal experiences that she shared which made me feel like I am not alone.
I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking help."
