Warmest of Welcomes
Taking the first step to reach out for support takes courage, and if you’re here, something in you is ready. Looking for the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying painful emotions, persistent thoughts, difficult memories, or the weight of trauma. I want you to know, you don’t have to figure that part out alone either. I’m going to make this easy for you.
​
I’m Amanda, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor based in Abbotsford, BC, working with clients in person and across Canada online. I’m warm, direct, and real, and 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’s not by accident. That’s the relationship we build together, and it matters just as much as any approach we use.
​
My focus is on trauma, PTSD, and attachment and relational wounds, the kind that quietly shape how you see yourself, how you love, how you trust, and why certain patterns keep pulling you back no matter how hard you try to move forward. I’ve walked through my own deep healing in these exact areas, and that lived experience isn’t just part of my story. It’s what allows me to sit with you in your hardest moments and understand, not just professionally, but personally, what it truly feels like from the inside.
​
Alongside counselling, I’m trained in Brainspotting and Hypnotherapy, powerful approaches that go beyond insight and help your brain and body actually heal, not just cope. We go at your pace, always.
You don’t need to have the right words or have it all figured out before reaching out. You just need to take one small step.

Services
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
Brainspotting coming Soon 2026
Brainspotting is a gentle, brain-body 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."
