Katy Vinson Counselling | Counselling & Art Therapy in Port Moody, British Columbia
My name is Katy (she/her), and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Registered Canadian Art Therapist (RCAT) offering compassionate, client-centred counselling and art therapy in Port Moody, BC, as well as online counselling for individuals throughout British Columbia.
Beginning counselling can be a courageous step. While therapy can be a meaningful opportunity for growth and change, it's also natural to feel uncertain, nervous, or even a little scared about getting started. You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. Through counselling and, when appropriate, creative expression and art therapy, we can work together to deepen your self-understanding, navigate life's challenges, and move toward meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.
Whether you're seeking support through traditional talk therapy or are interested in exploring art therapy, I aim to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique experiences.
If you're looking for a Registered Clinical Counsellor or Art Therapist in Port Moody, or online counselling anywhere in British Columbia, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.
Trauma
Healing from trauma is a deeply personal and non-linear journey. Exploring how past experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self can help you develop greater self-understanding and compassion, build a greater sense of grounding and safety, and move toward feeling more empowered and whole.
Trauma
Grief & Loss
Grief & Loss
Grief is a very personal experience that can touch every aspect of your life. While often associated with the death of a loved one, grief can also arise from the loss of a relationship, a significant life change, or changes in your health, identity, or hopes for the future. Having a compassionate space where your grief can be witnessed, understood, and supported can help you navigate the healing process and find a way forward.
Identity, Self-Worth & Personal Growth
Exploring your identity, self-esteem, and sense of self-worth can help you develop a stronger understanding and acceptance of who you are. Counselling can offer a non-judgmental space to explore self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and the experiences and expectations that may shape how you see yourself
Eating Disorders
If you're struggling with an eating disorder, you may feel caught in patterns that are difficult to change and overwhelming to face on your own. In counselling, support to explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be contributing to these struggles can help you to take steps towards change.
Fertility Issues, Loss, Pregnancy & Postpartum Anxiety
Counselling can offer support through the emotional challenges of fertility issues, pregnancy loss, pregnancy, and the transition into parenthood. It provides space to process uncertainty, grief, hope, and the many other complex emotions that can arise during these experiences.
Anxiety, Overwhelm, Overthinking & Burnout
Anxiety and burnout can leave you feeling stuck, isolated, and emotionally exhausted. Counselling can offer a supportive space to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing and work toward greater balance and emotional well-being.
