✨Our awareness is such a powerful thing✨

This short check-in practice can often be so useful.

Invitation to pause, to slow down, take a breath, notice where your body is in time and space, to release or breathe into where you might be holding tension.

This pause might also offer space to notice what you need in this moment.

Do you need a stretch, a screen break, to get outside for some fresh air, a drink of water, to call a trusted loved one.

Invitation to pause, to notice what you need and offer it to yourself 💫

Invitation to pause and take a breath!

It’s amazing what a few conscious breath can do to help us change states.

If you’re feeling tense, anxious, overwhelmed, pausing to breathe and lengthen your exhale helps activate the parts of our nervous system that help us slow our thoughts and feel just a bit more grounded.

If you’re feeling low or tired, focusing on your inhale can have an energizing effect.

See what befriending your breath can do for you!

Feeling metaphorical today! 🌱

Not sure who needs to hear this, but just in case no one tells you today, I see you. I see your efforts.

Changing the way we are in relationship with ourselves, others and the world takes time. If you feel like things are moving too slowly, or wanting change to be faster, I see you.

Healing and change take time and cannot be coerced. You are on the path.

I invite you to honour whatever season of change you find yourself in 🌸

Clients often share in our first meeting that they don’t know where to start. That makes sense, and yet, I like to acknowledge that they’ve already taken the hardest, most courageous step: reaching out

Reaching out and seeking support can often be the alchemy someone needs to start their journey of change and healing ✨🌻🙌

So for those clients who don’t know where to begin, I’m happy to share virtual availability this coming Thursday and Friday, and in-person sessions available on Friday at the lovely office in Burnaby. And here are your literal first steps into the beautiful office.

🌻 if you’ve been thinking of taking that first step, connecting for a first session or free 15-minute consult, please consider this your invitation.

Sharon Salzberg wrote, ‘You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.’✨

The whole wide universe ❤️

So, why is it so darn hard to love and accept ourselves? We love others so freely - our partners, friends, family members, our pets, but when we look in the mirror we fail to give ourselves the love and kindness that we deserve.

Perhaps it’s a practice or pattern we’ve learned to try to protect or punish ourselves, but maybe it’s time to recognize that this narrative no longer serves us.

So, what do you say? Can we rewrite our love story with ourselves?✨

For just a moment or two, I invite you to hold space for yourself with love and kindness✨
perhaps right now or tonight when you cozy yourself into bed✨rest your hands gently over your heart space✨begin to tune into the soft gentle rhythm of your breath✨perhaps you notice the gentle rise and expansion as you breathe in✨and the gentle fall as your exhale, relaxing your body✨in your relaxed state, and with kind intention towards your being, start to repeat✨
✨
May I be filled with lovingkindness
✨
May I be safe from inner and outer dangers
✨
May I be well in my body and mind
✨
May I be at ease and happy
✨
May I be filled with lovingkindness
May I be safe from inner and outer dangers
May I be well in my body and mind
May I be at ease and happy
✨
Try repeating these phrases and as you do, imagine wrapping yourself in a warm, cozy blanket of kindness, warming your body and your heart✨you might try saying to yourself, “You are loved and you deserve love; today I choose love ❤️ ~darling, I see you and give you my love”

If self-love and self-compassion are WIP for you, I hope you’ll join me online Friday, February 13th for Love Letters to Past Yous 📝

When we’re caught in shame, we often forget we’re not alone in our struggles. But self-compassion gently reminds us: we all stumble, we all hurt, and we all belong. 💗

If you’re feeling isolated today, take one small step—place a hand on your heart, and remind yourself of your humanity.

I'm so very excited to invite you all to Love Letters to Past Yous

Join me on Friday February 13th from 12-1:30 pm via Zoom for a workshop designed to practice of self-kindness and love.

If you often feel hyper-critical, burnt out, or overwhelmed, constantly chasing new goals to “fix” your body or mind, or forget to acknowledge your past accomplishments and the ways you’ve navigated life’s challenges, this workshop is for you.

Self-kindness and self-compassion are skills you can develop. Together with Brit (she/her, that's me!), Registered Clinical Counsellor, you’ll be guided through writing a letter to a past version of yourself, practicing slowing down, recognizing your growth and resilience, and offering love, compassion, and gratitude to all your past selves.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with new insights about yourself and a practical blueprint for being kinder to yourself moving forward.

Sometimes, the most comforting words are the ones we give ourselves.
When life feels overwhelming or we’re searching for reassurance, cultivating a kind and compassionate inner voice can be transformative. Instead of looking outward for the perfect words, pause and ask: What do I need to hear right now?

Whether it’s “I’m here for you,” “I care about you,” or “It’s okay to be imperfect,” these words can soothe and strengthen us.

Gosh, self-taping is awkward, but 'fit' between you and your therapist is really important in therapeutic work. In fact, in research about the effectiveness of therapy the most impactful variable is the relationship between counsellor and client. So, here's a little about me and how I work. If you think we could be a good working fit, feel free to connect for a 15 minute free consult. Link to book in comments.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Maybe all you want for Christmas is a counsellor to support you in 2026?!

Hello! My name is Brit (she, her) and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia.

I’m happy to share that I am working in partnership with a lovely collective here in Burnaby called Tulua Collaborative Health offering counselling services virtually and in-person!

As of January, I have online availability Thursdays between 10 am and 4 pm and in-office availability Fridays between 8 am and 2 pm.

I have experience supporting individuals and folks in relationships navigating stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety, attachment injuries, perinatal mental health challenges, substance misuse, and shame-based patterns.

As a therapist, I help clients understand their inner experiences with compassion and clarity, offering a grounded, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach.

If you’re feeling stuck and are looking for someone to help untangle experiences and feelings🧶, I’d be so honoured to meet for a 15 minute free consult to see if we’d be a good working fit. Link to connect below and in bio🌱
