Individual Counselling

An individual counselling session at Imua Counselling allows space for clients to be their authentic self in a safe, non-judgemental environment. The overall aim is to provide an opportunity to work towards living more satisfyingly and resourcefully. The counselling experience is tailored to the client’s goals and needs. Sessions may focus on developmental issues, address and look to resolve specific problems, decision-making, how to cope with crises, develop personal insights and knowledge, work through feelings of inner conflict or improve relationships with others.  

Services are exclusively virtual for residents of British Columbia.  

Yvette is currently accepting new clients.  

“I am very grateful for Yvette. She is warm, affirming, and made me feel listened to – she always has my best interests at heart. Working with her led to breakthroughs with my romantic partner. She is my favourite counsellor.”

“I hesitated to give counselling another try based on my previous experience; however, I am grateful I did. Yvette created an incredibly safe space for me to be vulnerable, to share and to process my emotions and thoughts.”
