Miranda Harvey

As your counsellor, I believe my main job is to help reveal to you the possibilities you have yet to see by connecting the dots of your story in a new way. I think of our work together like seeing a constellation in the night sky for the first time; even if it was hidden from you, it was always there and once you see it, you're not likely to forget it. In this way, we work together to reveal a new but authentic way of living that was always deep inside you.

We do this by co-creating a warm and safe environment imbued with curiosity. I take an eclectic therapeutic approach, informed by evidence-based models and theories (e.g., Narrative Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, etc.) and integrate tools like grounding, body-awareness, mindfulness, and humour to tailor the therapy to your needs.

I hold a BA in religious studies and history from the University of Victoria, and a Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle in Canada (RCC #20262). I have years of experience as a crisis support volunteer for youth, and have also volunteered extensively as a counsellor for university students and adults. I am open to working with people of all cultural backgrounds, gender expressions, sexual orientations, and relationship styles. I am also inspired by music, writing, philosophy, folk traditions, and nature, and recently completed a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation course. I look forward to learning what you are inspired by and what meaningful change looks like to you.

Please reach out if you have any questions about how I work or how I can help you.
