Heather Mitchell

I'm glad you are here! I provide individual and relationship counselling in Vancouver and virtually all over British Columbia. Therapy can be vulnerable, scary, and hard. I want to help people feel supported, safe, and cared for.

My counselling approach is very much centred on genuine connection and creating safety for the folks I get to work with. I believe people heal in authentic relationship and collaboration first and foremost, with therapeutic technique being a close second. My clients have described me as calm and compassionate while being able to ask the hard questions and hold people accountable for what they came to therapy for in the first place.

Are you struggling with, or wanting to explore: 

• Substance use and/or addiction
• The impacts of trauma
• Relationship issues
• Anxiety and/or depression
• Sex, sexuality, gender

At your own pace (with lots of support from me) we can explore what brings you to counselling and collaboratively work through any stuck and painful parts of your life.

I work from an intersectional feminist and anti-oppression lens, as well as being trauma informed, sex & body positive, and LGBTQ2S+ allied. Each of us occupies a number of identities that impacts us in every way, and I think it is important to consider how they impact the reasons we go to therapy. Simply put, I welcome all bodies and identities.
