ABOUT MY HOLISTIC COUNSELLING PRACTICE
VANCOUVER COUNSELLOR FOR ANXIETY, TRAUMA, BURNOUT, BREAKUPS, WRITERS, SCREENWRITERS AND BC FILMMAKERS
FIND YOURSELF IN THE MOMENT
It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves under the weight of our responsibilities and taking care of other people. Therapy offers a place to slow down and check in with yourself, to see what needs attention and healing. A place where you and your deepest concerns matter.
You are so much more than your current problems. Challenges in life are inevitable. I’ll help you meet them with mindfulness, self-compassion and intention. Take care of your mental health with holistic, evidence-based practices that can benefit you for life.
30+ years ago, I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of British Columbia (under my former name, Karen Lyons) and co-founded the Kitsilano Counselling Center. Specializing in childhood trauma and PTSD, I became a trusted referral for family doctors, women’s centers, community clinics, victim services, and other therapists.
My practice is dedicated to providing counselling for creative professionals and people struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, burnout and breakups. My approach is compassionate and holistic, drawing from a diverse array of healing approaches, from ancient wisdom traditions to the latest neuroscience.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Bachelor’s degree in Psychology/Criminology from Simon Fraser University, 1987.
Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of British Columbia, 1991.
During graduate school I gained supervised experience in five settings: VGH, Women’s Hospital, UBC Psychology Clinic, group therapy for kids with ADHD, and the SFU Counselling Center.
I learned how to work with complex trauma in the early 1990s in group supervision with Dr Naida Hyde. My early practice focused on women’s mental health, trauma and PTSD.
I continue to update and expand my skills by indulging my book habit and taking continuing education courses through PESI.
