You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I provide compassionate, evidence-informed counselling to support you through anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
I work with youth and adults in Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, and across the Lower Mainland, offering both in-person and virtual counselling sessions.





People often reach out for counselling when life begins to feel overwhelming or difficult to manage alone. I work with adults, teens, and couples navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
You may benefit from counselling if you:
• feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety
• find yourself overthinking conversations or situations
• feel burned out from work, caregiving, or life demands
• are navigating a difficult life transition
• want to improve communication in your relationship
• are supporting a teen struggling with anxiety or self-harm

I’m Jessa Turner, a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) and founder of Trueself Counselling.
I provide compassionate, evidence-informed therapy for adults and teens in Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, and across the Lower Mainland.

Counselling helps you manage stress, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions in a safe, supportive environment. It provides tools to build emotional resilience, practical coping strategies, and clarity, empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
Do you find yourself overthinking conversations long after they happen or questioning whether you said the wrong thing? In our sessions, we explore these thoughts together, helping you understand patterns, gain perspective, and develop tools to quiet the mental noise.
If your mind feels constantly busy or overwhelmed, therapy can help you learn practical coping strategies backed by research. Together we develop skills to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and build resilience so you can feel more in control of your life.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by work, navigating a life transition, or supporting a teen who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, or self-harm, counselling provides guidance and support tailored to your unique situation.
Many people worry about opening up or being judged for how they feel. Counselling offers a confidential, supportive space where you can talk honestly about stress, burnout, relationships, or difficult experiences without fear of judgment.
At Trueself Counselling, therapy is more than just talking — it’s about feeling truly understood and supported while learning practical ways to move forward. I work with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm, helping them build coping skills, confidence, and a stronger connection to their authentic self.
Counselling is about feeling safe enough to talk openly and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. At Trueself Counselling, I aim to create a compassionate and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. Here’s what some clients have shared about their experience.
“I came to counselling feeling constantly anxious and stuck in my own head, replaying conversations and worrying about everything. Jessa helped me understand why my mind was doing that and gave me practical tools to calm my thoughts. I feel more in control and able to handle situations that used to overwhelm me.”
“Our teen had been struggling with anxiety and was having a hard time opening up to anyone. Jessa created a safe and supportive environment where they felt comfortable talking. We’ve seen such a positive change in their confidence and ability to manage their emotions.”
“We felt stuck having the same arguments over and over and didn’t know how to communicate without things escalating. Counselling helped us slow down, understand each other’s perspectives, and learn healthier ways to talk through difficult issues. We both feel more heard and connected.”
