Meet Venecia

Counselling that feels like being met, not managed

I'm Venecia Bastidas Garcia, a Registered Clinical Counsellor working with adults across British Columbia. My practice is built on a simple belief: people move forward when they feel genuinely safe, unhurried, and taken seriously.

Together we make sense of what's happening — the anxious nights, the grief that arrives sideways, the patterns that keep repeating. I work in a warm, collaborative way, drawing on person-centred, trauma-informed and emotion-focused approaches, and I adapt to the person in front of me rather than to a method.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. You're welcome exactly as you are, on the hard days as much as the good ones.

One-to-one counselling, shaped around you

Individual sessions are the heart of this practice. Everything below is a way into the same thing: unhurried time with someone whose full attention is on you.

Individual Counselling

Regular one-to-one sessions where we work together on what's weighing on you — anxiety, low mood, grief, burnout, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck.

50 minutes · weekly or every other week

Free 15-Minute Consultation

A short, no-pressure conversation to see whether we're a good fit. You can ask questions, share a little of your story, and decide in your own time.

15 minutes · no cost, no commitment

Ongoing Support

For clients who want steady, longer-term care. We set the pace together and revisit what's helping — with room to pause whenever you need to.
