My name is Alexandria Butterfield, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, B.C

I provide therapy for those wanting support with anxiety, body image issues, burnout, adjusting to university, burnout and self-esteem struggles. While these challenges may seem separate, from my experience, they often stem from unwanted intrusive thoughts, unsettling physical sensations and the individual feeling lost in what will help. Often times those who come to me describe themselves as their own biggest critic. While they may be going through the motions day to day, underneath they are struggling with repetitive thoughts and confusion of why things feel so hard. Through counselling, my clients are able to better understand themselves, improve their relationships and feel more connected to their values and goals. A common phrase that I use is that "healing doesn't have to be this hard"; counselling sessions can balance talking about the really tough stuff while celebrating the wins and bringing humour into the therapy process.
