Ariel Dumais

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I provide in-person counselling in Chilliwack and secure online counselling to people throughout BC. I have completed a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). In my practice, I help my clients build resilience and motivation using a trauma-informed, person-centred approach. I believe that every individual has the ability to heal and grow and live at peace, and I work collaboratively with my clients to support them on their journeys towards greater well-being. 

I structure my counselling style by incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) as well as Mindfulness-based techniques. I am constantly working to evolve my counselling philosophy in ways that will benefit my clients. 

I currently work as a Mental Health Clinician for a local health authority. I have been working in the healthcare field, focused on mental health for eight years. I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. If you are seeking support and guidance through a difficult time, I would be honoured to work with you one-on-one. I offer virtual online therapy to clients throughout BC as well as in-person therapy at an office in Chilliwack.
