Carly created Homecoming Integrative Counselling to offer strength-based, mind-body integrated mental health + personal growth counselling, to clients across British Columbia, accessibly online.
My counselling approach is grounded in neuroscience, compassionate understanding, unconditional acceptance and a commitment to deeply understanding my client’s unique struggles, life histories and needs. I have many years of training and experience working with treatment resistant anxiety, depression + burnout, low self-esteem and substance use struggles. I also offered specialized clinical understanding and recovery support for attachment trauma based concerns: particularly emotional & psychological abuse, abandonment trauma and narcissistic injury.
I approach these mental health concerns with genuine understanding, radical acceptance and skillful clinical tools. I have seen time and time again, that with these foundational supports, healing from past wounds, getting unstuck from old, unhelpful patterns and rebuilding a life of meaning and joy is fully possible. I have witnessed time and time again that through the safety of a supported therapeutic relationship we can connect to lasting healing, growth & self-mastery and overcome even our most painful struggles.
I offer one-on-one counselling for adults and mature youth/young adults and create individualized therapy plans with my clients that are as unique as their needs and stage of healing are.
I also work with clients who aren’t sure what’s bothering them, and are simply wanting to get more clarity through counselling and improve their life & wellbeing and find joy & purpose again!

My MISSION is
to help you connect to and integrate these three pillars of whole self wellbeing through therapy:
Adaptive Mind + Nurtured Body + Resilient Spirit
- for a whole life.
“It’s time to come home to yourself”
- at least that’s what I think counselling is about !
Founding PHILOSOPHY:
I believe Counselling is best described as an exercise and investment in human potential. Individualized therapy offers a supportive, clarifying and truth enhancing space in which to connect, heal and recalibrate our minds, and how we relate to ourselves and the world.
In terms of who I am as a counsellor - I am a passionate, hopeful and sometimes sarcastic female human, dedicated to cultivating a safe, relationally genuine space in which you can bring forward, without judgment, and the guarantee of a whole lot of care, the unique essence of you and your life story. I not only believe, but I know that a safe, compassionate therapeutic relationship, underscored by genuine understanding and acceptance, can help you access the insight, self-mastery and confidence that’s always been yours. My mission is to help as many people as possible to break free from suffering, re-vision their purpose and worth, reconnect to healthy relationships and live a whole life of unbounded potential.
I realize this is an ambitious ask - but I really believe in us <3
Because…
Human connection and reaching our full potential is why we are here. This is the stuff that makes life matter. It’s what makes it all worth it. My approach supports the whole of you (mind, body and your unique personality) while bringing the narratives and relational patterns that having been driving your life, into focus with clear, unconditional acceptance, so that we can build new connections and support you in cultivating the life and relationships you truly want, and deserve to be experiencing.
I hope you’ll join me on my mission to share the wisdom of neuroscience, deep understanding & radical acceptance and empower yourself towards greater resilience, health, and happiness, through counselling with me - and more importantly, you!
