As the founder of Leia Shay Counselling, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through the complexities of trauma, relationships, and personal growth. With a Master’s Degree from UBC and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Narrative Therapy, my practice is deeply rooted in a trauma-informed, client-centred approach. I believe in the importance of a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship that empowers you to explore and address the challenges you face. Whether you are seeking help with trauma recovery, relationship issues, heartbreak, or sexual health, I am here to support you with compassion and care.
