Anna Williams

Hi, my name is Anna (she/her). Finding a counsellor who resonates with you can be a tricky process. Here's a little about me to help you decide if I might be a good fit for your therapeutic needs.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC, and I offer individual therapy to adults navigating feelings of anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, life transitions, parenthood, and personal growth.

At the heart of my work, I engage collaboratively with you in honor of your lived experience and the change you seek. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcome—the parts you know well, the parts that feel stuck, and the parts you're still figuring out. Together, we can connect with your thoughts and feelings in compassionate and transformative ways.

My practice is guided by Internal Family Systems therapy, a trauma-informed approach I'm formally trained in that helps you get to know your inner experience with curiosity and care. I also integrate Attachment Theory, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, and Expressive Arts Therapy to further support you and your process.

I'm available Sundays at the Cambie Village location and throughout the week online. My rate is $165 per 60-minute session.

For more information or to schedule a free 20-minute consultation, I can be reached at anna@essentiacounselling.ca.

I practice on the traditional and unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), Stó:lō, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), scəẃaθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
