HI! I am Pin-Han, a registered clinical counsellor, a queer settler coming from Taiwan not long ago. My practice is to provide anti-oppressive and nonjudgmental care to marginalized individuals including, but not limited to, people in the LGBTQ2S+ communities, immigrants, people who use substances, and survivors of domestic violence.

I provide services in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese.

Based on my personal experience and stories around me, I hold a framework of multiculturalism and intersectionality to support individuals experiencing layers of systematic oppression such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, class and culture.

By strongly believing that you are your own expert and that my role is to guide and support you through the therapeutic process, I collaborate with folks to find the integrative therapeutic approach that best meets their needs. I recognize your vulnerability and am honoured to walk alongside with you. I aim to meet you where you are at and offer a safe and confidential space in your journey. I look forward to meeting with you.

我提供英文、中文及台語服務。因為自身的成長背景及生命經驗，我對多元性別認同、多元交織性及各個弱勢族群相關議題有濃厚的興趣。在堅信「每個人都是自己人生的專家」的信念下，在諮商關係中，我扮演一個燈塔的角色，照亮你生命的大洋，以便你航行下一階段的旅程順遂。

I would like to honour and recognize the traditional and unceded territories of the Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo Nations, on whose territories I work and live.

I’m drawn to support people who feel like they don’t belong. If you have learned to hate parts of yourself, have had to cut off access to joy and rest in order to survive, or have taken on wounds of exclusion, we might be an excellent fit. I welcome bookings for both individual and relationship work.

My approach to counselling is personalized and adaptive. If something doesn’t work for you, I assume the approach needs to change, not you! I have a long history of supporting people who are treated like the problem, including QTIBIPoC+ folx, survivors of violence, disabled and/or neurodivergent folks, and people who have experienced institutional harm.

As a counsellor, my goal is to help you find a peaceful sense of home inside yourself. I’d like to help you make life a little bit easier. If this seems unlikely or impossible, I really welcome you to book a consult to learn more about how we might work together.

Professional and lived experience I come to this work through a mix of identities and experiences. I embody queer, gender fluid, neurodivergent, straight-sized, white, working-turned-middle class identities. I’m a third and fifth generation settler of Mennonite and Welsh lineages. I hold lived experience in and near complex trauma, incarceration, substance use, intergenerational trauma, sexualized violence, institutional violence and betrayal, and complex grief.

What are sessions with Kaitlyn like? You can expect a mix of storytelling, parts work (IFS), imagination, gaming metaphors, body-based practices (somatic), adapted EMDR, and laughter, with each session shaped specifically for you. I’m here to help you build unique, personalized strategies for healing; my counselling has been described as collaborative, warm, and creative.

Counselling Approaches: Trauma-informed and trauma focused Anti-oppressive Parts based Somatic Narrative Harm-reduction EMDR Kink and polyamory affirming

Selected Professional Training I studied discourse analysis, identity construction, and meaning-making in a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. As my interest in healing grew, I mixed formal and informal training in counselling, social work, and ethics. I completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychotherapy in 2022.

Intensive Sex Therapy, University of Guelph (2023)​ Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) Core and Advanced trainings (2023)​ The Sexually Competent Therapist: Integrating Sex Therapy into Your Practice EMDR Comprehensive Basic Training, EMDR Consulting (2022) Trauma Certificate (102 hours), Wilfrid Laurier University (2020-2022) Restorative Justice Peacekeeper Training, Restorative Counselling (2021) Tarot and the Healing Process, SheHeWeAwakening (2020) Usui Reiki I and II (2020)

In my free time, I stay up-to-date on academic and popular literature about complex trauma, epigenetics, anti-oppressive practices, depression, family systems, body-centered healing practices, healing through spirit, institutional abolition, counselling for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, identity-based trauma, substance use, parts work, and biomedical ethics.

Although I have academic training in these areas, I affirm lived experience as valuable knowledge. I take a non-expert stance in my work with people. No book, article, or opinion is more important than what you know about your experiences.

I am a queer, cis, chronically ill, neurodivergent, white settler of mixed Irish and unknown ancestry resultant of family adoption. I use she or they pronouns and invite you to share with me what identifiers currently feel right for you. I live on the unceded traditional and ancestral homelands of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I have been working as a counsellor in community and public health settings for over a decade, including mental health programs, hospitals, non-profit organizations, and schools. Alongside this work I provide clinical supervision for new and student counsellors.

My values are guided by social justice and being trauma informed. I aim to be anti-oppressive, body neutral, sex positive, and committed to unlearning colonialism. I offer tools from narrative therapy, family systems, somatic approaches, and parts work. I completed a post graduate program in Expressive Arts therapy, so if finding the right words isn’t for you, I have some creative tools we can try. I have experience with mental illness and substance use, chronic illness and pain, burnout, trauma and vicarious trauma, grief, and loss. I bring warmth, humour and respect to the connections I have with others.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#17871) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I have a Master’s in Counselling from City University of Seattle and completed the Expressive Arts therapy certification from the Justice Institute of British Columbia. ​

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I’ll locate myself here in this first paragraph and then tell you a bit about what it might look like to work together and finish with a snapshot of counselling influences and personal interests. I am a queer, Egyptian-German/Canadian settler living and working on the stolen homelands of the the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), Qayqayt (Key-Kite), Stz’uminus (Sha-main-us), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwee-Kwet-Lum) Nations. I was born and raised in central (colloquially known as “Northern”) British Columbia for most of my life and moved further south upon graduating high school. I graduated with my Masters of Counselling at the end of 2021 and have been working in the field since.

You’re looking for support in navigating hardships or discovering new opportunities for growth. You’re hoping to understand something better or maybe you’re aiming to make some changes in your life. I can support you in your journey by being a curious guide who recognizes that you’re the sole expert of your life. Even if things feel murky right now, you’re the best person to support yourself because you’re the only one who has lived your life. I would like to work alongside you during your healing and connection journey. I describe my work as helping people help themselves because I know you have the power to help yourself just by the fact that you’re reading this right now.

Identities, Experiences, and Diagnoses I work well with: People of the Global Majority (BIPOC) Queer/LGBTQ2S+ Polyamory/Open/Monogamous Relationships People who work in the sex industry People who uses substances Survivors of sexual assault (Adult & Childhood) Grief and Loss Trauma BPD Anxiety PTSD Schizophrenia ADHD

I approach counselling from perspectives rooted in harm reduction, anti-oppression, decolonization, and trauma awareness. I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates person-centred, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, somatics, narrative, CBT, and other approaches.

I am passionate about the outdoors, music, art, and writing and would love to incorporate these forms of connection and expression into our work together if they resonate with you. I seek to understand your perspectives and meet you where you are at so we can create a counselling environment best suited to your unique needs and goals.

Please feel free to reach out via email to book a free, 16 minute* phone consultation.

*16 minutes is being used as a small part of my decolonial practice. I want to highlight here how rigid expectations for time came to this land from colonialism. It also helps me note that, although my sessions are scheduled for 50 minutes, I request that clients schedule in a 10-minute buffer in the likely event that we go over that time by a bit.

I believe therapy goes beyond just talk, a chance to explore parts of ourselves that have been shut away in order to make it through the day. If you choose, I would love to take the journey with you, and see what we’ll find.

I prioritize implementing an anti-oppressive, client-entered, and trauma informed lens. I often weave narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, play therapy and art therapy into my practice.

Some of the topics we might be able to navigate together include life transitions, anxiety, depression, relational struggles, sexuality, and trauma.

Outside of the therapy world, I am at the gym trying to build my squat, running to catch sunsets, cooking, and listening to 2000s r&b on repeat.
