Family Counselling and Parenting Support

You envision a happy family, but the reality is more challenging. Modern family life is complex, with issues spanning communication, parenting, and navigating the intricate relationships with parents and in-laws. If trust issues are creating distance, support is available.

Family Issues and Conflicts

Many families experience challenges that can test the foundation of their relationships. Whether you're struggling with family conflict, family violence, stepfamily adjustment, or simply managing the everyday pressures of cross-cultural challenges and values differences, support is available.

Parenting Support

Raising a child in today's fast-paced, digital world can feel overwhelming. Perhaps your child is anxious, angry, withdrawn, or defiant. You have tried many things, but nothing seems to work, and you are feeling frustrated and unsure where to turn. We provide support for all types of parenting strife, helping you foster emotional resilience and a sense of security in your child.

Relating to Parents and In-laws

It is common to struggle with in-law conflicts. Even when you understand that differences in personality or communication may be the source of difficulty, it doesn't make the pain and frustration any less real. We will work together to help you understand the dynamics between you and your extended family, develop effective strategies, and set boundaries.

Long-Distance Relationships and Separation

A long-distance relationship can be difficult, even when it's temporary. It can lead to feelings of loneliness and put your marriage at its most vulnerable. If you are also facing a difficult decision such as separation and divorce, or grappling with trust issues stemming from betrayal or an affair, counselling can provide a safe space to navigate the pain.

Support is Available

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Many families face these struggles. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Burnaby, I’ve helped many people navigate relationship and parenting challenges. I also understand the emotional toll firsthand. There is hope, and things can get better.

What if your family members won't come?

That is okay. While it is ideal for everyone to be involved, counselling can still be effective even if only one person is ready to begin. We can work together to help you understand your situation, develop new strategies, and build emotional strength. You don’t need to wait for others to be ready before taking care of yourself.

Let’s Work Together

You don’t have to face this alone. My name is Chi, and I offer compassionate support for couples, parents, and families in Burnaby and Greater Vancouver. Let's work together to create more peace, connection, and understanding in your home.
