Being With
Coaching & Counselling for
Individuals, Couples and Families
Welcome!
Thank you for taking the step to learn more about me. I’m honored to be part of your journey.
At Being With, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed counselling in a safe, non-judgmental space. Whether you're navigating life’s challenges, seeking personal growth, looking for relationship guidance, exploring family dynamics, or needing support through times of change, I’m here to be with you.
Virtual sessions offer the flexibility to experience therapy from the comfort of your home, making it easier to take the first step toward healing and self-discovery.
Let’s walk this path together—toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
About Me
Hello, and welcome again! I’m Winnie, RCC #20123, and I’m truly glad you’re here.
I believe that counselling is a partnership — a space where we both work together to explore your goals, challenges, and possibilities. It’s not just about me offering guidance; it’s about us building a trusting relationship where you feel supported every step of the way. I like to think of myself as your compass, helping you navigate through life’s uncertainties. While I won’t tell you exactly where to go, I’ll help you explore your options and empower you to make choices that resonate with you.
A little bit about me: I’ve been fortunate to live in diverse places, including Hong Kong, Ireland, and now Vancouver, B.C. My journey also took me through a variety of careers —including journalism, marketing, coaching, corporate training, and counselling. These experiences have enriched my understanding of people’s unique stories and challenges, allowing me to offer support with empathy and a broad perspective.
I’m passionate about personal growth and believe deeply in the inner strength we all carry within us. Everyone has the potential to evolve into the person they wish to be, and my role is to help create a safe, nurturing space for that journey.
If you’re ready to begin your own path of growth, I’d love to be part of that process with you. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together to bring about the changes you seek.

As Dr. Irvin Yalom, one of my favorite therapists and authors, beautifully puts it: "...the honest connection between the therapist and the patient is the medium through which we discover, learn, change, and heal."

Relationships can be fulfilling but also challenging. Whether it's communication issues, conflict, or a desire to deepen your connection, couple counseling provides a supportive space to explore these concerns.
In our 90-minute sessions, we'll identify patterns and dynamics contributing to your challenges and work on healthier communication, listening, and understanding.
In family counseling, all members come together to share thoughts and feelings in a safe, neutral space, working to rebuild trust, understanding, and communication. It's about fostering deeper connection and support, not just resolving conflicts. I’m here to help your family rediscover its strengths and build healthier, more harmonious relationships.
Relationship Coaching
Parental Coaching
Relationships have their ups and downs, but with the right guidance, you can turn challenges into opportunities for growth. In this 2-4 hour session, I’ll tailor the content to your unique needs and goals, offering practical skills for improving communication, understanding love languages, creating a safe space, and much more—all in a supportive and welcoming environment.
I offer personalized coaching to help you create a safe and supportive environment for your children. Together, we can explore how to:
-
Support your child’s emotional well-being
-
Build healthy and effective communication patterns
-
Understand basic child development stages
-
Navigate interactions with teenagers
-
Tackle common challenges faced by parents and families
Whether you're looking to deepen your connection or seeking guidance through difficult moments, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Workshops/ Groups / Seminars
If your company or group of friends is interested in topics related to emotional well-being—such as stress management, nurturing creativity, understanding emotions and how to handle them, learning communication skills, team building and more—I can tailor workshops, seminars, or group sessions to meet your needs, available both in-person and online.
Meet & Greet
This is a complimentary 20-minute consultation where we can discuss your goals and the counselling/coaching process. It’s also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about me or the services I offer. I’m here to provide clarity and help you feel confident in moving forward. My goal is to establish a trusting and supportive relationship from the very beginning.
