About Josie

Bringing Balance and Stability to Your Journey

Growing up on Vancouver Island, I have always found a sense of peace in the rhythm of the coast. I've created Quiet Coast Counselling to help you find that same sense of internal calm and resilience, even when life’s waves feel overwhelming.

My Approach

I believe that healing starts with feeling safe and heard. I work from a Client-Centred philosophy, meaning you are the expert on your own life. Together, we work to move beyond just "getting by" toward a life of greater stability.

I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and more. I am currently working under clinical supervision, and offering reduced rates during this time to support keeping therapy accessible while I await my registration.

Experience and Education

My path to clinical counselling began at Simon Fraser University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a focus in Counselling & Human Development. I later completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.

Before beginning my counselling journey, I spent many years working within community mental health. While I have a professional history supporting youth and young adults through navigating life's challenges, I am passionate about supporting clients of all ages across the Greater Victoria area.

I am certified as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and am working towards registration as a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC.

What is a Canadian Certified Counsellor?

Certified by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), this certification confirms that a counsellor has met national standards for training and professional practice. To become a CCC, counsellors must have a Masters degree and complete an extensive practicum. CCC and RCC are generally considered to be equivalent.
