1:1 Counselling
Vancouver / Sunshine Coast / Online across BC
You understand yourself. But something still doesn’t shift.
You’ve done some work.
You can name your challenging patterns.
And yet—in the moments that matter—your body still goes overwhelmed, shut down, or somewhere else entirely.
“I know what I need to do… I just can’t seem to do it.”
“On paper, my life works. But it doesn’t feel that way.”
This is where many people get stuck:
not from lack of insight—but from a disconnect between mind and body.
The work
This is not about more analysis.
We work at the level where patterns actually live—in your nervous system, in real time.
Sessions are conversational, but we are also tracking:
-
subtle shifts
-
impulses
-
moments of activation or withdrawal
We slow things down enough to catch patterns as they’re happening—and begin to shift them there.
Not after the fact.
Not in theory.
Over time, this changes how you:
-
relate to yourself
-
move through relationships
-
experience steadiness, choice, and capacity
Who this is for
People who are:
-
self-aware, but still repeating the same patterns
-
able to function well outwardly, while feeling disconnected underneath
-
moving between overwhelm and shutdown
-
tired of insight that doesn’t translate into change
This work is particularly relevant for anxiety, burnout, trauma, relational patterns, and periods of transition.
Working together
My approach is grounded in somatic therapy and shaped by over two decades of clinical and experiential work.
I draw from:
-
parts work (Internal Family Systems)
-
attachment and relational dynamics
-
narrative therapy
Sessions are collaborative, precise, and paced to your system.
I won’t rush you.
I won’t override what your system is showing.
We work with what’s actually happening—moment to moment.

What people have said
"You're really good, and I've worked with a lot of people. I've never been given these kinds of tools before."
"Helped me make some major awareness changes."
"Brilliant. Relatable. Kind. Very good."
"To the point. Laser focused."
"Working with you I've changed more in the past year and a half than the previous 14 years in therapy. I'm so grateful to realize I don't have to be in therapy for the rest of my life."
"Lisa provides a safe, caring and friendly space allowing for authenticity and openness. She listens and observes, picking up on insights that I have not come to on my own or with previous counsellors. [...] I have gained invaluable insight in the last few months and change that has not only lessened my PTS to a level I did not think possible, but has also opened so much space and exciting change in all aspects of my life. Doing the work is not easy but I look forward to every session as the outcome is so worth it!"
