Hello there!
My name is Rebekah Johnson, and I’m glad you’re here. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 15 years working as a Registered Nurse after completing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Victoria. My nursing work took me through acute‑care, community, and rural settings, where I witnessed firsthand the resilience of individuals navigating medical, relational, and occupational trauma.
Both my personal and professional experiences have shaped my understanding of how deeply systems, relationships, and environments can impact our well‑being. I bring this awareness into my counselling work with care and intention.
I practice from a humanistic, feminist, and anti‑oppressive lens, grounded in the belief that each person carries inherent wisdom, strength, and capacity for healing. My role is to walk alongside you; supporting you as you reconnect with yourself, make meaning of your experiences, and move toward greater clarity, resilience, and self‑trust.
The First Session
Our first 50-minute meeting is about getting comfortable. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in and what you hope to change. There’s no pressure to have all the answers. We’ll go at your pace. We’ll also chat about practicalities like fees and what to expect during the course of therapy.
Finding Your Rhythm
Healing isn’t linear, but it is possible. Whether we are working through trauma, career stress, or relationship transitions, we will find a rhythm that feels right for you. I bring my clinical experience as a nurse and counsellor to ensure you feel held, safe, and supported every step of the way.
