Anna Bock

to promote the healing, growth or change that you are seeking. As our time in session together only

constitutes a small part of your life, I believe it's important to support you in building a toolkit of

knowledge, skills and tools upon which you can rely to navigate life with self-compassion, clarity, and

confidence. To me, walking the path alongside you as you process memories, work through

emotions, face current challenges, explore different parts of yourself, and grow your toolkit, is a

privilege. I feel deep gratitude to be invited on these meaningful journeys.

I completed my Master's of Social Work at the University of British Columbia, and I am a registered

clinical counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, as well as a registered social worker

with the BC College of Social Workers.

I work with individual adult clients (18 years and older), and I tend to support people struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, life transitions, internalized

oppression, relationship issues, grief & loss, or a desire for growth. My work is informed by the

strengths-based approach, biopsychosocial-spiritual model, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),

pain science, Polyvagal theory, Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems,

among many other perspectives, modalities and approaches.

I am a settler on these lands, with European ancestry on both sides of my family. I grew up on the

shared, unceded, traditional and ancestral territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam),

Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, colonially known as Vancouver.

I'm grateful to currently be living on the traditional and ancestral territory of the ɬaʔamɩn (Tla'amin)

people, colonially known as Powell River. I recognize my privilege and responsibility as a settler and

steward.

What supports me in feeling centered, grounded and alive in my life are my connections with my

friends & family; spending time in nature; enjoying nutritious, tasty & colourful meals; moving my

body (yoga, hiking, swimming, dancing, climbing, biking, skiing); and engaging with art - whether it

be music, film, television, photography, or paintings.
