A place to come home to yourself.
Online counselling across British Columbia for anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, and learning to trust yourself again.
Does this sound familiar?
You spend days replaying something that happened, bouncing between "Am I overreacting? Maybe I should just let it go" and "but that wasn't okay... was it?"
You try to stay calm, explain yourself carefully, and accommodate others to keep the peace. Inside, you might feel anxious, frustrated, or alone. You're used to considering everyone else's feelings while quietly wondering, "What about mine?"
Somewhere along the way, you may have learned it was safer to keep your feelings inside and stay small. But maybe your feelings aren't wrong. Maybe they're pointing toward something worth listening to.
How I Help
Together, we will make space for the feelings you've learned to question, minimize, or explain away.
We will slow down and turn inward - not to fix or change what you're feeling, but because your feelings have something to tell you. Over time, you might find that the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the inner critic settle when you stop fighting them. They carry wisdom when you learn to listen.
Many clients come in searching for clarity. They find that what they were looking for was already inside, waiting to be discovered. They just needed a place where they finally felt comfortable enough to start trusting themselves.
About Me
Jessica Forrest, PhD, RCC
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering online counselling to adults across British Columbia.
I've spent two decades immersed in the fields of health, psychology, and spirituality - first as a student, then as a researcher, and now as a counsellor - because I'm genuinely passionate about understanding the human experience. This work grew from my own healing journey, and I now have the privilege of supporting others in theirs.
I believe every person has an innate capacity to heal and thrive. My role is not to fix or direct, but to walk alongside you with warmth, presence, and deep respect for the wisdom you already carry inside you.
