More Becomes Possible
Counselling in Chilliwack & Online Across BC

We don't all experience life the same way.
Some people live with a mind that rarely slows down. Others experience sadness, exhaustion, numbness, overwhelm or a sense of disconnection. Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and life changes can affect us in different ways.
Whatever brings you here, your experience is uniquely your own. Understanding how these experiences affect you is an important place to begin.
Change involves more than understanding.
Our thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships and lived experiences are deeply connected. Counselling offers an opportunity to explore these connections, recognize familiar patterns and discover new possibilities for how we experience and respond to life.

Individual Therapy
Individual counselling and therapy are available in person in Chilliwack, online across BC, or by telephone.
Sometimes a new perspective changes what becomes possible.
Counselling can be a place 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.
50-minute sessions • $165
Many extended health plans cover counselling with a Registered Social Worker. Please check with your provider.

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.
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
My approach draws on Somatic Experiencing®, Person-Centred, Emotion-Focused, Narrative and Solution-Focused therapies, Expressive Arts and Parts Work. Rather than following a single method, I adapt how we work to your experiences, needs and pace.
Sessions may include conversation and reflection, body awareness, creative exploration or noticing patterns that are difficult to put into words. I offer somatic therapy in Chilliwack and online counselling across BC.
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.
I acknowledge that I live, work, play and continue to learn on the ancestral unceded Indigenous territories of the Stó:lō and Ts'elxwéyeqw First Nations.
It is an immeasurable privilege to inhabit these beautiful lands.
