Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — I'm a Vancouver-based counsellor offering virtual sessions for adults across British Columbia dealing with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. Sessions run through secure video conferencing, so you can work with me from anywhere in BC without needing to travel to an office.
-
I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Vancouver with over 9 years of clinical experience specializing in adult ADHD. I support adults across BC through virtual sessions, working on executive function challenges, emotional regulation, and the shame that often builds up after a late or missed diagnosis. More detail is on my ADHD Counselling Vancouver page, or you can book a consultation directly.
-
I specialize in supporting adults with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and complex emotional dysregulation, using a trauma-informed, practical approach. My work focuses on helping clients build a grounded relationship with their nervous system, not just manage symptoms in the moment. See my BPD Therapy Vancouver page for more.
-
ADHD counselling for adults helps build practical strategies for time management, organization, and follow-through, while also addressing the emotional side of ADHD — shame, rejection sensitivity, and burnout — that skill-building alone doesn't touch. Working on both the practical and emotional layers together tends to create more lasting change than productivity tips on their own.
-
Look for a counsellor with specific experience in adult ADHD, not just general mental health training, since ADHD affects emotional regulation, motivation, and self-image in ways generic strategies often miss. It also helps to choose someone whose approach addresses both practical skills and the underlying shame many adults with ADHD carry. A short consultation call is a good way to check the fit before committing to ongoing sessions.
-
Yes — I offer direct billing for major insurance providers, including Canada Life, Manulife, Desjardins, iA, Beneva, and Chambers Plan. Coverage depends on your individual benefits plan, so it's worth checking your provider's counselling coverage before booking.
-
I bring both clinical training and lived experience — I lived undiagnosed with ADHD for many years myself, which shapes how I approach this work. Rather than focusing only on productivity systems, I address the shame and self-belief that often forms after years of masking or misunderstanding your own brain, alongside practical, evidence-informed skill-building.
-
No — many of the struggles I work with, like procrastination, disorganization, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty following through on plans, show up for different reasons, not only ADHD. You don't need a formal diagnosis to book a session; if a diagnostic assessment would be useful, we can talk about that as part of our work together.
-
Yes. Everything discussed in sessions is confidential and protected under professional counselling standards in BC, with the standard legal exceptions around risk of harm that any licensed counsellor must follow. I'll walk you through exactly what that means in our first session.
-
This varies by person and goal. Some clients come for a focused block of sessions to work through a specific challenge, while others continue longer-term for ongoing support with ADHD or BPD-related patterns. We check in regularly on progress and adjust the plan together rather than committing to a fixed timeline upfront.
-
Yes — I offer both English and Farsi language sessions, virtually for adults across British Columbia.
