Meet the Business Owner

Gail G.

Business Owner

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor (cand) with CPCA. I graduated from the Vancouver College of Counsellor Training in 2013.

The knowledge acquired from VCCT has been intertwined with the wisdom and knowledge gained through years of coping with and understanding a wide range of difficulties.

My previous schooling has been that of a Computer Programmer and so I’m also able to take pure logic and apply it to virtually any problem and work toward solutions and interventions that work.

There is a balance between pure problem solving and understanding how our unique personality, emotions, goals, and dreams help us decide which road to take in life. There are many roads to happiness and fulfillment and it is up to each person to pick their own unique path in life.
