About Kirsten (she/her)

Welcome to Cedars Counselling. My name is Kirsten (pronounced K-EAR-sten), and I am a registered professional counsellor. 

For the past 20 years I have been practicing as a registered massage therapist and my journey has led me to shift my focus from helping people heal their outer bodies, to helping people heal their inner selves.

I attended the Kelowna College of Professional Counselling and spent a year interning at the SHOAL Centre in Sidney, BC working within the Caregivers Support Program. I have always been interested in connecting deeply with people and discovering what it is that makes us human.

My Approach

My approach is to listen deeply, and gently reflect your concerns and lived experience back to  you from a non-judgemental and compassionate perspective. I will meet you where you are at in the present moment and explore with you the options, opportunities and pathways of where you can go from here. When needed, I will offer a feminist perspective which means that regardless of your gender identity, we are all affected by societal norms and expectations.
