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 individual counselling sessions — in person in Port Moody and virtually across BC — that support you in reconnecting with yourself through the integration of mind, body, and emotion. My areas of focus include:
REBUILDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BODY AND FOOD
Diet culture sends a relentless message that your worth is tied to how you look or what you eat — but your body is not a problem to be fixed. I advocate for a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach and draw on intuitive and mindful eating practices to help you understand the story underneath your relationship with food and your body. This work is about reconnecting with yourself, not changing yourself.
Counselling for Body Image and Food Challenges can help you:
FINDING STEADINESS WHEN EVERYTHING FEELS LIKE TOO MUCH
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, a body that won't settle, or a mind that won't quiet. Stress and burnout often build slowly — until the things that used to feel manageable no longer do. If you're running on empty, chronically overwhelmed, or exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix, counselling can help you understand what's driving it and build something more sustainable.
Counselling for Anxiety, Stress & Burnout can help you:
Making Sense of Your Mind Without Judgement
If you've spent years feeling like you have to work twice as hard to keep up — with focus, follow-through, time, relationships, or just the basics of daily life — you're not alone. I work with adults navigating ADHD, with a particular focus on the experience of being diagnosed later in life. Whether you have a formal diagnosis or are beginning to explore what neurodivergence means for you, this can be a space to understand yourself more clearly and move forward with more self-compassion.
Counselling for Adult ADHD & Neurodivergence can help you:
Cultivating confidence and authenticity
How you see yourself shapes almost everything — your relationships, your choices, and how much space you allow yourself to take up. Low self-esteem is often rooted in experiences and messages absorbed long before you had the language to question them. Together, we'll explore where those beliefs came from and work toward a relationship with yourself that feels steadier, more honest, and more your own.
Counselling for Self-Esteem & Self-Image can help you:
LEARNING TO TREAT YOURSELF WITH THE CARE YOU DESERVE
Self-compassion isn't weakness or self-indulgence. It's one of the most evidence-supported foundations for lasting change — and one of the hardest things to actually practice when you've spent years being your own harshest critic.
In our work together, self-compassion isn't just a concept we talk about — it's something we practice, in small and concrete ways, until it starts to feel like a real option rather than an abstract idea.
Counselling for self-compassion can help you:
FINDING GREATER PURPOSE AND MEANING IN LIFE
Not every question has a clear answer, and not every phase of life comes with a map. Sometimes the work of counselling is less about solving a problem and more about getting curious — about who you are, what you value, and what kind of life actually feels like yours.
This work can draw on somatic awareness, creative expression, and reflective practice to help you access parts of yourself that don't always show up in ordinary conversation.
Counselling for self-discovery can help you:
NAVIGATING CHANGE WITH CLARITY AND INTENTION
Starting over, stepping into something new, or leaving something behind — transitions can bring up a complicated mix of hope, grief, relief, and uncertainty all at once. Even changes that are wanted or positive can carry loss in them, and that grief often goes unacknowledged.
Whether you're navigating a career shift, the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, an empty nest, a move, or a change in identity or health, counselling can help you move through it with more clarity and intention.
Counselling for life transitions 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.
Many extended health plans include coverage for Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs). I offer direct billing to the following providers so you don't have to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement:
If your plan isn't listed, I provide a receipt after each session that you can submit directly to your insurer for reimbursement.
ICBC claims: I am a registered ICBC health care provider. If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident, your counselling sessions may be eligible for coverage through your ICBC claim. I encourage you to connect with your adjuster before booking to confirm your coverage and get a referral in place.
I have a small number of reduced-fee spots available for clients experiencing financial hardship. Please reach out to discuss.
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.
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.
