A NOTE FROM KELSEY
Do you ever feel disconnected, dissatisfied or simply down in the dumps? Do you ever question why these feelings are reoccurring?
Regrets about the past and worries about the future are common experiences for many, which is why I help my clients to uncover the deeply unique thoughts and feelings that can get in the way of experiencing satisfaction and fulfillment in the present. If this sounds like you, you are not alone; together we can create a safe and trusting environment to help support you as you explore those areas of life where you feel stuck, unmotivated and inadequate. Where you are is not who you are; change is always possible!
With care,
Kelsey

MEET KELSEY
Kelsey is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (no. 12584) with a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University.
Kelsey believes that counselling is an ever-changing practice and takes pride in her commitment to developing a unique and collaborate relationship with each and every client. Guided by a variety of approaches, Kelsey strives to help clients live life to the fullest and always stands by her mission of Helping You Cope with Care.
Kelsey obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Psychology from Western University in London, Ontario. She then went on to achieve her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Adler University in Vancouver. As part of her master’s requirements, Kelsey completed a practicum at LifeMark Health, working as a clinical counsellor for the Pain Management Program. During this time, she was able to further her skills in individual counselling, group facilitation, and mindfulness meditation training.
Throughout her schooling, Kelsey continued to work at a personal injury law firm and developed an interest in counselling individuals coping with pain, injury and related stressors.

Additionally, Kelsey founded KJ Counselling and Consulting to offer private counselling services to a wider range of clientele, including, but not limited to, pain management.
Outside of counselling, Kelsey enjoys spending time with friends and family, taking spin classes and cooking. Kelsey is a strong believer in the mind-body connection and the benefits of physical activity and emotional self-care.
