About Tanya
You do not need to have everything figured out to start.
​
I am a Clinical Counsellor based in Victoria, BC, specializing in adult mental health, trauma-informed practice, and justice-informed care.
I believe counselling should be a safe space to speak honestly, without being reduced to your past, your circumstances, or the worst thing you have experienced or done.
I support adults navigating complex mental health concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, and behavioural patterns that impact wellbeing.
Working with both justice-involved individuals and those with no system involvement, I balance compassion, accountability, and respect in every session. My approach is non-judgmental, accountable, and focused on meaningful change.
For individuals who have experienced harm, we work to process the past and rebuild safety and self-worth.
For those who have caused harm, I provide space to honestly examine choices and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
Counselling can be your first step toward understanding your challenges, taking responsibility, healing, and moving forward with clarity and purpose.
