Make sense of it, understand the patterns beneath it, and shift what no longer works.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”Carl Rogers
Dr. Edith Chiu
Based in Vancouver, BC, Edith is a Canadian Certified Counsellor and Registered Social Worker with over 15 years of experience across Australia and Canada. She holds a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology and a Doctorate in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practices from a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens.
Edith began her career in child protection before transitioning into clinical counselling across healthcare, non-profit, government, and post-secondary settings. Her experience includes suicide prevention, with her doctoral research focused in this area, child and youth mental health, and clinical work with adults addressing complex emotional and psychological concerns.
In her private practice, Edith works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. She draws on person-centred and emotionally focused approaches, with advanced training in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and DBT. Her work is collaborative and deliberate, helping clients understand the patterns shaping their experience and develop greater emotional stability and self-trust beyond the therapy room.
“What feels overwhelming is often shaped by underlying patterns. As these come into clearer view, change begins to unfold.”

Areas of focus.
You might not have the words for it yet. That's okay. We begin with what's most present and make sense of it together.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
When your mind won't switch off, everything feels like too much, or you're running on empty. We understand what's driving it and find steadier ways to manage and respond.
01Trauma & Past Experiences
When the past continues to shape how you feel, react, or relate. We work through what hasn't settled and loosen its hold.
02Relationships
Patterns that repeat, boundaries that feel hard, or connection that feels strained. We understand what's happening and shift how you relate.
03Life Transitions & Feeling Stuck
Change, uncertainty, or a sense of being stuck in the same place. We find clarity, direction, and a different way forward.
04Emotional Regulation
When emotions feel intense, unpredictable, or hard to manage. We build steadier ways to understand, hold, and respond.
05Self-Worth & Inner Criticism
A persistent sense of not being enough or being overly hard on yourself. We identify where this comes from and build a more stable inner voice.
06Identity & Cultural Experience
Questions around who you are, where you belong, or navigating different cultural expectations. We understand and integrate these parts of yourself.
07Other Areas
For what doesn't quite fit elsewhere. We work to clarify your experience and understand the underlying patterns shaping it, helping to organize what feels diffuse and identify where meaningful change can begin.
