Hi, I'm Sandra and I'm the owner of Haven Counselling Services. I'm also a practicing therapist who understands that sometimes life gets to be too much and that we need the help of a professional to offer support, guidance, and insight. If you're feeling stressed or stuck, I would be honoured to work with you in whatever you are facing: relationship issues, anxiety, depression, coping, self-acceptance, suicide ideation, grief & loss, life direction, burnout, etc.
I worked for over 10 years in the crisis field and am passionate about listening with care and without judgment. I also have been a client of counselling at various stages in life and want to normalize that talking to a therapist for mental health is just as important as talking to a doctor for physical health! My desire is to develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients. This means that I want to do therapy "with" rather than "to" or "for" clients. I hope to involve them in the process!
I am a registered clinical counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I am located in Prince George, BC and can do both in-person and virtual appointments through Telehealth. I hold a Bachelor of Social Work degree as well as a Master of Education Counselling degree, both from the University of Northern British Columbia.
