Alyx Monteith

I know how difficult it can feel to be human some days. When painful thoughts and emotions take over- it can feel impossible to find a way forward. You get stuck fighting with and blaming yourself for feeling this way. Relationships can suffer, and it's hard to connect with what really matters. You don't have to do this alone —and humans aren't made to. I support adults who want to live meaningfully, but feel weighed down by anxiety, shame, or trauma. I also work with couples and other relational pairs who want to deepen intimacy, understanding, and connection in their relationship.

I am naturally a gentle person, but I am also honest and clear. I will be open with you about what I’m seeing in our work together. I am more than simply a good listener—our time together will be active, and oriented toward meaningful change. I approach this process with the utmost care, compassion, and a bit of humour when needed.

My approach begins with understanding you and the ways you’ve learned to navigate the world. From there, we can untangle the thread of what’s been holding you back. Often, our struggles arise from patterns that once helped us survive or belong. Until we can see these patterns clearly and understand the wisdom in how they formed, it can feel nearly impossible to do things differently.

I offer an experiential approach to therapy to help get to the root of challenges. 

In-person sessions take place at my office at 864 Queens Avenue in Victoria, BC, or virtually.

Whether you’re seeking deeper self-understanding, healing from the past, or learning new ways to relate to yourself and others, I’m here to support you in finding what’s needed to heal and live more fully.

Feel free to reach out—I’d be honoured to support you.

Warmly,
Alyx
