Individual Counselling in Vancouver and online

Counsellor in Vancouver, Evanna Kieran, Vancouver Counsellor, RCC

Welcome, it’s nice to meet you.

I’m Evanna Kieran (She/Her), a Registered Clinical Counsellor.

I work with people who are seeking fulfillment in their lives and relationships, by allowing space for their emotions in a healthy way.

I see individual adult clients in-person and virtually,  providing warm, down to earth, experienced counselling, to support and guide you.

I believe we each have the capacity and strength to move through difficult experiences, towards contentment and positive change.

My therapeutic style is calm, compassionate and trauma-informed, drawing from a a range of therapeutic techniques including emotion-focussed, mindfulness-based and cognitive-behavioural.

Individual Counselling

I offer virtual and in-person sessions for adults looking for a supportive, warm and non-judgemental approach.

Standard sessions are 50 minutes. I offer a free 15-minute virtual consultation as a recommended first step to see if we’re a fit. This is a chance to share your reasons for seeking counselling and to discuss your goals and my approach.

Extended Sessions

Extended sessions are offered for individual adults and are 80 minutes in length. These sessions offer an opportunity for deeper exploration into emotions, thoughts and feelings.

They can be particularly beneficial in allowing more time to to reflect, process and integrate insights and build a strong, therapeutic relationship.

Meet Your Counsellor

In addition to a Master's in Counselling Psychology, I hold a Masters in Communication and have over 15 years' experience working with people. I have completed additional trainings in Complex Trauma and Attachment.

I have completed multiple trainings in yoga, breathwork and mindfulness meditation, often weaving these practices into my counselling work.

I was born in Ireland where I lived for most of my life, immigrating to Canada six years ago. This experience informs my counselling, and I enjoy working with clients from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, navigating the unique experience of seeking belonging in a new country and maintaining a connection to their culture.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy being outdoors, moving my body (I love yoga and strength and conditioning training), trying new restaurants, spending time with friends, exploring BC and cozy nights in with my adorable cat and my husband.
