Private Sessions

Counselling and Psychotherapy

An Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with many years of experience, Marcia’s style is gentle, warm, compassionate and playful. For many years in mental health settings and in private practice, Marcia has supported others to gracefully heal issues related to grief/loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, parenting and relationships.  Her approach offers a combination of traditional “talk therapy” and the use of mindfulness-based techniques, depending on each individual’s preference.  Marcia’s work is underpinned by a trust and respect that every person is unique and has access to a natural state of wellness. Her commitment to co-creating an environment that feels comfortable and supportive allows her to assist others to remember their inner strength and innate wisdom. She works with adults and couples.

Marcia has an M.A. in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.  Most employee benefit plans and private health care insurance providers reimburse clients for their sessions.  

Clinical Supervision

Marcia is an ACS and offers Clinical Supervision and compliant with BCACC standards, for counsellors-in-training, for seasoned counsellors and for supervisors-in-training. Many counsellors find we have times of doubt, depression, anxiety, dissatisfaction, or need to make a change in the way they work, at least once (if not many times!) during their career. Marcia supports supervisees to reflect on their work to enhance their efficacy as counsellors, to practice good self-care, to align with ethical guidelines, and to encourage professional development.

Commitment to ongoing learning

Marcia is committed to learning about how she has participated in and benefitted from social inequities, and acknowledges that she is a beginner on this journey. She strives to honour, acknowledge and attend to the inevitable complexity of relationships, bringing awareness to power dynamics as they arise, in service of learning and healing.
