Counselling
More Becomes
Possible
Understand
Make sense of
what feels stuck.
Reignite
Build capacity and more choice.
Live More Fully
Find new
ways forward.
Sometimes a new perspective changes what becomes possible.
Counselling can be a place to experience something different ~ to explore what has been difficult to put into words, discover what helps you shift, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have become harder to access.
Our work might include conversation, body awareness, creative expression or other experiential approaches, depending on what fits you. The aim isn't simply insight. It's meaningful change you can feel, understand and carry into life.
50-minute sessions • $165
Available in person in Chilliwack, online across BC, or by telephone.

Robby Shearer
Registered Social Worker • Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner • 20+ years experience
More than 20 years of experience has shaped how I understand change.
I’ve learned that insight matters ~ but it isn’t always where change ends. My work has evolved across more than two decades in social work, ten years in private practice, and extensive training in somatic and expressive approaches.
Today, I bring that experience together in therapy that is curious, engaged and responsive to the whole person.
Working Together
I'm naturally curious, down to earth and engaged in the work with you. I notice patterns, ask questions that can open up a different perspective, and may suggest something more experiential when words don't quite reach what's happening.
Together, we'll shape the work around what feels most useful and meaningful to you.
Knowing Yourself More Fully
What we experience often has more than one layer. A reaction in the present may connect with an old pattern, a relationship, a belief about yourself, or something your body has learned to anticipate.
Therapy gives us room to become curious about what's happening without needing to force an answer. As they become clearer, different possibilities can begin to emerge.
My Counselling Approach
I draw from a range of approaches rather than using one method with everyone. What we do is shaped by you ~ what you’re experiencing, what feels accessible, and what seems useful in the moment.
Sessions may include conversation and reflection, body awareness, creative or experiential work, or exploring patterns that are difficult to put into words.
My work is informed by Somatic Experiencing®, Person-Centred, Emotion-Focused, Narrative and Solution-Focused therapies, Expressive Arts and Parts Work.
What to Expect in Counselling
A place to begin
You don’t need to know exactly where to start. We can begin with what feels most important right now.
More than talking
Counselling may include conversation, body awareness, noticing patterns, imagery, creativity, or other experiential approaches when they’re useful.
At your pace
We can slow down, shift direction, or focus on what feels most important as we go. There’s no right way to do
therapy ~ we’ll find a way of working that fits you.
