Something in you knows it's time.

individual counselling

You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. Sometimes it's a quiet knowing that something needs to shift - in how you feel, how you relate, or who you're becoming.

Anna Walker, couples counsellor and individual counsellor in Nanaimo BC
  • A relationship pattern you keep repeating

  • Grief that feels like it has nowhere to go

  • The sense that you're doing fine on the outside but not fine underneath it all

  • You're ready to understand yourself better - not just cope better

  • The feeling of having lost yourself somewhere along the way

What brings people to individual therapy?

  • A life transition that's bigger than it looks from the outside

  • Questions about identity, desire, or who you want to be

  • Something happened, and you haven't been able to move past it

  • Anxiety that won't quiet down, no matter what you try

How individual work feels different

Individual therapy gives something that's harder to find elsewhere - a space that's entirely yours. No managing anyone else's feelings. No performing okayness. Just honest attention to what's actually happening for you.

I work in a depth-oriented, relational way. That means I'm interested in the patterns underneath the presenting problem, the story your nervous system learned to tell, and what it might mean to live differently. I draw on somatic approaches, parts work, and attachment theory - but mostly I follow you.

You've been holding a lot. You don't have to hold it alone.
