Hi,my name is Helene.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in good standing with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).

I provide online counselling services in French and English, within the scope of practice defined by BCACC.

Life is messy, and no one should have to face it alone.

That’s where I come in.I have supported clients from diverse backgrounds and demographics with care, compassion, and inclusion for over 20 years. Living in several countries has given me a firsthand understanding of what it means to navigate change, difference, and belonging. After a solid foundation in France as a Clinical Psychologist, I pursued further training and experience in Canada and  became a Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC. My practice is Humanistic, Trauma Informed, Person- Centered, and  Strengths- Based.  I embrace diversity and meet clients with unconditional positive regard . 

My two areas of focus

• Parenting: My unique combination of experience as a parent coach, clinical counsellor and as school counsellor has allowed me to support and help many families navigate emotional dysregulation, stress and burnout, the school system, assessments and diagnosis navigation, and cultural adjustment. 
• Adults 19+ : My integrative approach empowers individuals facing life transition adjustments, stress and burnout, anxiety and depression, loss and grief, and cultural adjustment. 

I am here to hold a safe, non judgemental space for our work together. I thoughtfully adapt my approach to meet your unique needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities. I value a collaborative process —one that empowers you to what matters most  to you and find the strength to heal and thrive.

Together, we will explore new ways to adjust to life's changes and uncertainties. When patterns repeat, you can find new ways to understand and respond. When everything feels stuck, you can develop coping tools to move forward again—at your own rhythm.We will explore  new skills and practical strategies to support your day- to- day life.

Reaching out is a courageous step.

I look forward to meeting you.
