Emily Coughlin

Hi - I’m Emily (she/her), a Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC. I provide counselling for individuals with a focus on infertility, perinatal mental health, parenting, relationships, and meaning making. Many of the clients I see describe feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and uncertain, and are spending a lot of time thinking, second guessing themselves, and searching for meaning. 

Perhaps you feel like you can't even think anymore; that you are too depleted to go beyond your essential day-to-day tasks. You might be struggling to conceive and experiencing self-doubt, jealousy, and a lack of control. Or, perhaps you are pregnant or already a parent, and are feeling pulled along an emotional roller coaster where you're not in the driver's seat. You might remember a time when you felt more confident, clear, and connected, and are wondering how to get back there.

A life where you feel confident, balanced, and intentional is not only possible, but, I believe, essential. Life’s curveballs will be thrown at you, and you want the knowledge, skills, and flexibility to handle them with clarity and ease. You want to go further and live a life that is rich and meaningful. Counselling with me can get you there.

I know what it’s like to feel fragile and alone when things are out of our control. You want to find focus, clarity, and meaning. Counselling with me might entail:

• Discovering meaning 
• Moving past uncertainty and self-doubt
• Finding focus and clarity when you’re feeling overwhelmed
• Regaining a sense of control and confidence
• Addressing emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and depression
• Facilitating connection

My intention is to support you and your current challenges in the short-term and leave you with increased insight and strategies to improve your life in the long-term. I offer 24/7 online booking and virtual counselling, so we can start working together on a counselling schedule that fits your life.
