Claudine Gayton

Before entering the counselling field, Claudine spent over a decade in senior roles in the corporate sector — an experience that gives her a practical, firsthand understanding of the pressures facing professionals managing demanding careers alongside relationships, parenting, and personal wellbeing. This background shapes how Claudine’s understands the particular exhaustion of high-functioning people who are managing everything on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside.

Her couple’s work draws on two of the most evidence-based frameworks in the field. She has completed Gottman Method training to Level 2 and has trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together these approaches give her the clinical range to work with couples across the full spectrum, from those seeking to strengthen an already solid relationship to those navigating serious conflict or disconnection. Her individual work integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) within a trauma-informed, attachment-based framework.

As a mother of two teenagers, Claudine brings both professional training and personal insight to her work with parents navigating family dynamics, shifting identities, and the particular weight of midlife transitions.

Claudine completed her clinical internship at Bach Counselling Group and joined the BCG clinical team in September 2025. She sees clients at BCG’s North Vancouver office and offers online counselling throughout BC.
