It's not about fixing what's broken, but about discovering the incredible resilience that already lives within you.” I was born in Canada and grew up in South Africa. My childhood is painted with the colours of the African ocean and the feeling of being held by the three-dimensional hug of the surfing waves. But still in the beauty how of my life appeared, I experienced trauma, pain and depression. Through my journey and work, I have come to see the benefits of self expression and authentic voice to a path of deeper peace and confidence. My approach revolves around a map of meaning that includes +authenticity and +attachment as foundational pieces. I use IFS (Internal Family System), Mindfulness-based psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Somatic Therapy in a client-focused approach. I am a Registered Professional Counsellor and Mental health practitioner certified with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association. Today, I live in Squamish with a close group of friends and family around me. My work with others is informed by my personal work of exploration and liberation. I am here and honoured to support you… Mark Gray- RPC - Canadian Professional Counsellors Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1582594424355-AXMNYST8J6C0SZ0S5HHF/Screen+Shot+2020-02-24+at+5.23.28+PM.png Therapeutic Counsellor - Therapeutic Counsellor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1599281145623-AISSGZEJQF3E5UNNZND3/sacha-verheij-X0rRYtJy0R8-unsplash.jpg Therapeutic Counsellor - Therapeutic Counsellor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1599281606589-UN3FX0F13CFJKLB2REGL/jeremy-bishop-tqG48KOMKfY-unsplash.jpg Therapeutic Counsellor - Therapeutic Counsellor https://www.innercompass.me/work-1/city-nd9dw-nrfx8 monthly 0.5 2023-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1628617085264-M3K4LIJSEAFD0K10HXR2/web+Mark+inner+compass+%281%29.gif Therapeutic Counsellor - Lost and Found - when you are lost, you can be found. Being lost might look like these labels: anxiety loss (relationships, grieving) people-pleasing uncertainty, betrayal, neglect, shame, hurt depression childhood, individual, cultural, intergenerational trauma ADD, ADHD sexual dysfunctions self esteem relationship issues Yet, I look at these as symptoms that you have lost yourself and connection with your true self. And the good part is that we all within us have a compass inside. And you are your own best guide. I want to honour that within you as we take steps to find your authentic direction. While tapping in again to your heart and its wisdom to guide you, I want to be there to journey with you so you are not alone. The directions you choose may hold risk and fear. And still, these codes need to be listened to and matched to your authentic self, your heart's compass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d276264886d1e00019f1e3b/1563979824105-84YAE0U91K0OFANEG2ZO/20130731_Trade+100_0532.jpg Therapeutic Counsellor - Lost and Found https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d276264886d1e00019f1e3b/1563979847533-AIV27KIJACTG0MCGO8LG/profile-full-center-01-26.jpg Therapeutic Counsellor - Lost and Found https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1599281991970-4QD2GZC2HK9CXUCCR86W/image-asset.jpeg Therapeutic Counsellor - Lost and Found https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1599282114662-DOG4X71TPEJBTULT3M00/image-asset.jpeg Therapeutic Counsellor - Lost and Found https://www.innercompass.me/work-1/outdoors-ymb9c-aehbc monthly 0.5 2024-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1628557759673-KX2AEBVSKASM40Y2L0BL/Copy+of+web+Mark+inner+compass+%281%29.gif Therapeutic Counsellor - You Hello!

Imagine counselling as a compassionate lighthouse, guiding you through the stormy seas of emotional challenges. Anxiety, trauma, stress – these aren't destinations, they're passages. And you don't have to navigate them alone. Each therapy session is a sacred space where your experiences are honored, where your pain is witnessed, and where your innate strength is celebrated. The magic of counselling lies in its ability to help you rewrite your narrative. It's about understanding that your past experiences don't define you, but they can inform a more empowered future. Through evidence-based techniques like Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems, we unlock your body's natural healing capacity. We're not just talking about your challenges; we're actively transforming them. Every time you show up for a session, you're making a revolutionary act of self-love. You're saying, "My healing matters. My well-being is worth investing in." It's about developing emotional muscles – learning to sit with discomfort, to understand your triggers, to cultivate self-compassion. Counselling isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It's about becoming a more authentic, integrated version of who you already are. It's about recognizing that vulnerability is not weakness, but profound strength. Each breakthrough, no matter how small, is a victory. Your journey is unique. Your pain is valid. And within you resides an extraordinary capacity for healing, growth, and transformation. Counselling is simply the gentle, supportive process that helps you tap into that incredible inner resource. You are not alone. Your story matters. And your healing is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1599281707146-6T2KBR55ETXY2HOWRGD5/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-02-24%2Bat%2B4.58.45%2BPM.jpg Therapeutic Counsellor - Counselling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1582592439006-H5BUMDPYPUYNC65QJOUK/Screen+Shot+2020-02-24+at+5.00.26+PM.png Therapeutic Counsellor - Counselling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e546c92cda989339fd574e0/1599280550089-QZRA1XRYRKHGJC3PDUHI/mathyas-kurmann-jnHQsTfq2Og-unsplash.jpg Therapeutic Counsellor - Counselling
