About Jane

My name is Jane McGuinness, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #18628).  I take an integrative approach when working with individuals, couples and children. Working primarily from a person-centred, existential perspective, I provide a safe, empathetic space in which to welcome and explore fully the emotions that we hold within. Through a lens of kindness, compassion and humour, I am honoured to work collaboratively with you on your path to healing, as we navigate life’s challenges together.

Areas of focus include and are not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, eating disorders, and relationship issues.

As an Australian, North Vancouver has been home now for 12 years.  I hold a B.A., in addition to a Bachelor of Education. I have also completed a Masters of Counselling Psychology.

With a background in education, and as a mother of teenage children, I bring considerable life experience into our sessions together.  

Areas of specialization include:

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP Level 1 therapist) Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Individuals and Couples
