Life can feel overwhelming when you constantly give to others while neglecting your needs. Counselling helps you reconnect with yourself, providing the support and guidance needed to address emotional, mental, and physical challenges. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, uncover what brings you joy, and guide you toward healing and personal growth.
I take a compassionate, collaborative approach to counselling — integrating somatic awareness, creative expression, and talk therapy to support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. In our sessions, I incorporate moments of fun and humour, creating a warm and approachable environment that can make the healing process feel more natural and authentic.
Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy by integrating the body’s wisdom and encouraging awareness of physical sensations and emotions. We’ll take the time to slow down, be present, and connect with the moment, using mindfulness, visualization, somatic awareness, and creative expression practices to explore your experiences at your own pace. This integrative, lighthearted approach provides space for authentic self-exploration, offering the potential for growth and inner healing.In my practice, I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including:

I offer one-on-one counselling that supports reconnecting you with yourself, through the integration of mind, body, and emotions. My areas of focus include supporting with the following:
Rediscover a positive relationship between your body and food
Diet culture often teaches us that our value lies in our physical appearance, but your worth goes far beyond that. As a holistic counsellor, I advocate for Health at Every Size (HAES) and embrace intuitive and mindful eating practices, focusing on the somatic mind-body connection. Together, we’ll work to break free from the pressures of food monitoring, guilt, and body shame. By focusing on intuitive and mindful eating practices, we can help you reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom and build a balanced relationship with food.
Counselling for Body Image and Food Challenges can help you:
Finding balance and empowerment in your life
The pressures of external expectations often clash with your internal needs, leading to anxiety, stress, and feelings of overwhelm. Through holistic counselling, we’ll explore how these challenges manifest in both your mind and body, helping you find relief and balance. I’ll support you in developing the tools to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and live more authentically.
Counselling for Anxiety and Stress can help you:
Finding greater purpose and meaning in life
If you’re seeking deeper self-awareness, counselling can be a powerful tool for personal growth. We’ll explore your identity, purpose, and direction through creative expression and introspection, helping you reconnect with your authentic self. By integrating somatic awareness, you’ll gain insight into how your body and emotions contribute to your overall sense of purpose.
Counselling for Self-Discovery and Creative Exploration can help you:
Cultivating confidence and authenticity
Low self-esteem can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self, and it’s easy to internalize the unrealistic standards set by society. In a supportive and nurturing space, we’ll explore the roots of your self-esteem challenges and work to redefine your self-image. Together, we’ll build the confidence needed to navigate life with a stronger sense of self-worth.
Counselling for Self-Esteem and Self-Image can help you:
Yes — online counselling offers the flexibility to connect from anywhere and fits more easily into a busy schedule. Sessions are offered through Jane App, a secure video platform compliant with Canadian healthcare privacy laws.
Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I require a minimum of 24 hours' notice. This allows me the opportunity to offer the time to another client who may be waiting for services.
Life is full of unexpected events, and sometimes cancelling a session is unavoidable. To respect both your time and mine, and to keep my practice consistent and fair for everyone, I have the following policy in place:
Please send cancellations by email to bethany@soulflowtherapy.com or through your Jane account, so the timing is clear for both of us.
Cancellation fees are charged to the card you have on file, unless you've arranged another payment method with me. You'll receive an invoice by email. Because a cancellation fee isn't a counselling session, it isn't reimbursable through extended health benefits — your Jane receipt will show it as a cancellation.
If paying a cancellation fee would create real financial difficulty for you, please tell me. I'd rather hear about it than have it sit between us, I can reduce the fee. You don't need to explain the circumstances.
Thank you for supporting these guidelines. They're what allow me to offer a consistent, fair and caring practice for all of my clients.
Yes, I offer complimentary phone consultations to help you determine if we’re a good fit. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions and learn more about my approach.
Not at all. There is no experience required as art therapy is about the process rather than the product of your creation. Exploring creatively is more about the feelings that you have during your journey rather than what the image looks like at the end.
Most extended health plans in BC cover the services of Registered Clinical Counsellors. Refer to your plan manual or call the insurer and they will be able to assist you.
If you have coverage, you will be required to pay me directly in full for your session, and then submit your receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
The number of sessions varies depending on your unique situation and goals. Some individuals may find relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. We’ll discuss your needs and tailor the frequency of sessions to your progress and comfort.
Art therapy is a form of counselling that uses creativity and creative expression as part of the therapeutic process. This can include art-making such as drawing, painting, or collage — but it can also involve creative conversation, metaphor, working with materials like clay or colouring, or simply exploring ideas through an art-based lens.
Rather than focusing on what you create, art therapy is about what comes up during the process of engaging creatively. It can be especially helpful when words feel limited or when something is difficult to talk about directly. No artistic experience or talent is needed — just a willingness to explore.
Somatic therapy is an approach to counselling that attends to the connection between mind and body. By tuning into physical sensations, somatic therapy can support the processing of thoughts, feelings, and emotions that may show up as stored stress, tension, or activation in the body.
Drawing from Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) and other body-based approaches, I support you in noticing physical sensations and emotions at a pace that feels manageable. By gently attending to these sensations, we explore what the body may be holding — and what might begin to shift.
The first session is focused on getting to know each other, understanding your concerns, and establishing your goals for therapy. We’ll explore what brought you here and discuss how counselling can support your needs.
Clothing that is comfortable and allows for exploration of movement.
Counselling can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, body image concerns, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and personal growth. Together, we’ll explore what’s most important to you.
