Counselling for Women in Business in the Comox Valley

The challenges women face in business are often different from what's talked about in traditional business coaching. Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, boundary struggles, guilt about work-life balance, and the weight of being "the only woman in the room" — these aren't just professional issues. They're deeply emotional ones, and they deserve therapeutic support.

I work with women entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders across the Comox Valley and British Columbia who are looking for more than business advice. In our sessions, we explore the emotional undercurrents of your professional life: the fears that hold you back from taking risks, the patterns of overwork and people-pleasing, the identity questions that come with building something of your own.

Many of my clients are high-functioning women who look like they have it all together on the outside while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, or a persistent feeling that they're not doing enough. Sound familiar? I get it — and I won't ask you to slow down unless that's what you need. Instead, we'll find ways to lead and build that don't come at the cost of your mental health.

I draw on CBT, strength-based, solution-focused, and person-centered approaches to help you clarify your values, build resilience, and develop a healthier relationship with achievement and success. We might also explore how your personal history shapes your leadership style, and how to move through the inevitable setbacks of business with self-compassion rather than self-criticism.

Whether you're launching a new venture in Comox, growing a team in Courtenay, or leading from anywhere, I offer sessions in-person at Comox Valley Counselling in Courtenay, as well as virtually or by phone. You've built something remarkable — let's make sure you don't lose yourself in the process.
