You may find yourself repeating relationship patterns, struggling to express your needs, or feeling caught between wanting connection and protecting yourself. Counselling offers a place to explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion.

I am Jessica Forrest, PhD, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience (DARe) Therapist. I offer online individual counselling in British Columbia, with specialized training in trauma and attachment.

Together, we can explore how past experiences relate to your present relationships, notice patterns that leave you feeling stuck, and work toward greater self-compassion, clearer boundaries, and more fulfilling connections. We can slow down to pay attention to thoughts, feelings, and body sensations, at a pace that feels manageable for you.

My approach is relational, collaborative, and evidence-informed. Your goals and preferences guide our process, and I check in regularly so we can build on what helps and adjust what doesn’t. You do not need to know exactly what you want to work on before we begin.
