Lynn Valley Counselling

Welcome to Lynn Valley Counselling, Lynn Valley’s only integrated counselling clinic.

Our North Vancouver counselling clinic provides counselling for children, teens and adults as well as a range of therapies.

01/01/2026

As we step into 2026, we're holding gratitude for the trust our clients have placed in us this year and for the counsellors on our team who show up with such care, presence, and humanity.

Therapy is tender work. It asks for courage from clients and steadiness from counsellors. We're honoured to be part of that process, and to continue offering a place where people can feel seen, supported, and met exactly as they are.

To our community in North Vancouver and across BC: thank you for letting us walk alongside you.

Here's to a year of continued connection, growth, and gentle beginnings.

Wishing you all a cozy start to 2026. 💚

The days between Christmas and New Year's often hold more than we expect.

The structure of daily life loosens. Family dynamics linger in the body. The year is ending, but there's no clear beginning yet. That in-between space can leave the nervous system feeling unsettled, even when nothing is "wrong."

If you feel tired, emotional, flat, or unmotivated...your system may simply be asking for gentleness.

You don't need to process the year. You don't need to set intentions. You don't need to be grateful or optimistic.

You're allowed to rest.

If you'd like support during this transition, our counsellors offer sessions online and in person. You can book a free consultation at www.lynnvalleycounselling.com 💚

Sara, Harriet, and Nikki are offering 3-session holiday packages for $80 + GST right now.

12/26/2025

If the holidays are bringing up more than you expected, you’re not doing anything wrong.

December has a way of amplifying everything. Fatigue. Grief. Loneliness. Relief. Even numbness. These responses are not signs of failure or ingratitude. They’re signs of a nervous system doing its best to cope with a lot at once.

Nothing you’re feeling needs to be fixed before it’s allowed. It just needs space to be acknowledged.

If you’d like support holding what’s coming up, our counsellors are here. You can book a free consultation at www.lynnvalleycounselling.com

For a limited time: Nikki, Sara and Harriet are offering a 3 for 1 holiday session package for $80 + GST.

12/25/2025

However you're moving through today, we're holding space for you.

Christmas can hold so many things at once. Joy and grief. Connection and loneliness. Warmth and tension. Rest and exhaustion. Presence and absence.

If today feels full in a good way, we hope you can sink into that.

If today feels heavy, we see you.

If you're missing someone, we're with you in that ache.

If you're navigating complicated dynamics, we honour the steadiness that takes.

If you're alone and that feels okay, that's valid.

If you're alone and it doesn't feel okay, you're not invisible.

If you're working today, thank you.

If you don't celebrate and the world feels loud with something that's not yours, we see that too.

There's no right way to move through December 25th. Whatever you're carrying today, it makes sense.

You're not alone. 💚

Sometimes the timing is right, but the cost feels like a barrier.

Sara, Harriet, and Nikki are offering a holiday package to make support more accessible this season.

The holidays can bring warmth and connection.
They can also bring grief, loneliness, exhaustion, and quiet moments that feel hard to name.

If this season feels tender, complicated, or nothing like it used to, you are not doing it wrong.

However you are moving through this time, your feelings are valid. You deserve care and support, exactly as you are.

If you need a place to talk things through, our counsellors are here. Harriet, Sara and Nikki are offering a special 3 for 1 session package for $80 + GST.

You can book a free consultation through the link in our bio. 💚

The holiday season brings a mix of energy that can feel very different depending on what you're carrying.

For some, it's a time of connection and tradition. For others, it brings pressure, unresolved tension, or a feeling of being stretched too thin.

Healthy holiday boundaries are small acts of clarity that help you stay connected to yourself.

In our latest blog, we explore:
✨ What healthy boundaries really are (and what they're not)
✨ How to know when you need more boundaries
✨ Compassionate ways to communicate your limits
✨ How to hold boundaries even when others push back
✨ The internal boundary work that matters most

Boundaries help you show up with more honesty and less resentment. When you're not overextending yourself, you have more energy to be present in the ways that matter to you.

And if you're looking for support navigating the holidays with more ease, our intern counsellors Sara, Nikki, and Harriet are offering an accessible package all of December and January: 3 sessions for $80 + GST.

December in BC means darkness by 4pm.

The days feel shorter. The walls feel closer. And sometimes, sitting still in a room...even a therapy room, feels like too much.

What if therapy could happen outside?

Walk & Talk counselling is therapy that moves with you. That meets you in the forest instead of an office. That gives you space to breathe while you work through what's hard.

Getting outside matters. Moving your body matters. And doing both while someone walks beside you, holding space for whatever you're carrying? That can change everything.

Walk & Talk sessions are available with Osha, Lauren, Jess, and Deb in Lynn Valley. Same cost as regular sessions. Different kind of healing.

Just select "Walk & Talk" when booking through our website or give us a call to book over the phone.

"Wait, so I have to be outdoorsy for this?"

No. You just have to be willing to walk.

Walk & Talk counselling isn't about fitness or hiking skills. It's about creating a different kind of space for therapy: one where movement and nature help you process what you're carrying.

Here's what you might be wondering:

"How fast do we go?"
We walk at your pace. Slow, steady, whatever feels right. This isn't a workout though; it's therapy that happens to involve walking.

"What if it rains?"
We're in BC. Rain happens. We can reschedule, or we can embrace it. Sometimes there's something grounding about walking in the rain. Your call.

"What if I cry while we're walking?"
Then you cry. Tears are welcome here, whether we're in an office or on a trail. There's no performance required.

"Is it weird to not make eye contact?"
Not at all. Walking side by side can actually feel less intense than sitting face-to-face. For some people, that's exactly what makes it easier to open up.

"Do I need special gear?"
Just comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. We'll take care of the rest.

Therapy doesn't have to look one way. If the idea of getting outside while you work through what's hard feels right, we're here for it.

Walk & Talk sessions available with Osha, Lauren, Jess, and Deb.

12/12/2025

Therapy doesn't have to happen in an office.

Sometimes...the best conversations happen side by side.

We're now offering Walk & Talk counselling in North Vancouver! You meet your counsellor at our office or at a trailhead in Lynn Valley, and you walk. You talk. You process. You breathe.

Walk & Talk sessions are available with Osha, Lauren, Jess, and Deb at the same cost as regular sessions, just in a different kind of space.

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like the walls are closing in this December, maybe it's time to take therapy outside.

Self-compassion in December doesn't have to look like bubble baths and candles (though if that's your thing, we're here for it).

Sometimes it's smaller than that. Quieter.

It's saying no to one more thing when you're already stretched thin. It's letting yourself feel disappointed that the holidays don't look the way you hoped, without trying to talk yourself out of it. It's ordering takeout instead of cooking from scratch because you're tired, and that's reason enough.

It's texting a friend to say, "I'm not okay today," instead of pretending everything is fine. It's giving yourself permission to leave the party early, to skip the event entirely, to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon.

It's noticing the voice in your head that says you're not doing enough, and gently reminding yourself: you're doing what you can, and that's enough.

Self-compassion is being kinder to yourself while you're doing what you're already doing.

What's one small way you've been gentle with yourself lately?

12/08/2025

December has a way of filling up fast.

There are gatherings to attend, gifts to buy, meals to plan, people to see. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you might wonder if there's still room for the things that feel harder to name: maybe grief, or loneliness... or even simply a feeling of overwhelm that doesn't fit neatly into a holiday card.

Therapy doesn't stop when life gets full. In fact, sometimes the busiest seasons are when we need that steady space the most.

A place where you don't have to perform joy you're not feeling. Where you can name what's hard without rushing to fix it. Where someone sits with you and says, "This makes sense. You're not too much. There's room for all of it."

We're here for you.
