A Space to Be Yourself

When You Feel Misunderstood, Disconnected or Stuck in Familiar Patterns

Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing that something feels wrong. It's finding the words to explain what you're experiencing.

You may have spent years adjusting yourself to fit expectations, trying to manage overwhelming emotions, or wondering why certain relationships and situations feel so difficult.

You might recognize some of these experiences:

  • Feeling misunderstood or different from the people around you
  • Masking parts of yourself to feel accepted or avoid conflict
  • Struggling with emotional overwhelm or nervous-system responses
  • Repeating relationship patterns you want to understand or change
  • Questioning your identity, needs, boundaries or sense of belonging
  • Carrying the effects of trauma or difficult family experiences
  • Wanting greater self-trust, connection and emotional awareness

You don't have to change who you are to deserve support.

Counselling can be a space to slow down, understand your experiences and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Change isn't about becoming happier, more productive, or more put together.There is room for discomfort alongside joy, and for the parts of ourselves we've learned to hide.

Professional Bio

How Roxanne Came to This Work

My path to becoming a counsellor has been shaped by lived experience and a deep curiosity about how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate our daily lives.

Born in South Africa and raised across the UK and British Columbia, moving between cultures alongside early family challenges shaped my understanding of safety, belonging, and adaptation.

Through personal growth, yoga, and counselling, I learned how experiences may help form protective patterns that serve us in moments of uncertainty, but can eventually feel limiting. These experiences led me to become a counsellor, giving me a genuine appreciation for what it takes to seek safety, connection, and self-understanding.

In my practice, we explore the stories, relationships, expectations, and environments that shape you. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, anti-oppressive, and welcoming of both neurodivergent and neurotypical ways of processing.

Alongside reflection, I integrate nervous-system-informed practices that can support greater awareness of emotional responses, patterns, and what may be happening in moments of stress or overwhelm.

I believe change isn't about becoming happier, more productive, or “put together.” Life naturally includes discomfort alongside joy, and there is room for all of it — including the parts of ourselves we've learned to hide.

I meet each person with curiosity and respect for the fullness of their lived experience. Together, we slow down to make room for what's present — creating space to process your experience, build self-trust, and reclaim choice in how you relate to yourself, others, and your environment.

Affirming Counselling

Neurodivergent-Affirming Counselling in Coquitlam & Online

When the world expects you to think, feel, communicate or respond in a particular way, it can be exhausting to constantly adapt.

For neurodivergent individuals, experiences such as masking, sensory overwhelm, emotional intensity, relationship misunderstandings or feeling different can affect self-confidence and well-being.

Roxanne offers a neurodivergent-affirming approach that respects different ways of processing, communicating and experiencing the world.

Rather than focusing on changing who you are, counselling can help you better understand your needs, recognize patterns, explore boundaries and develop greater self-trust.

You Deserve to Feel Understood

You don't need to explain away your differences or meet someone else's expectations of how you should feel.

Roxanne's relational, trauma-informed and anti-oppressive approach creates room to explore your experiences with curiosity and respect.

Support is available in person in Coquitlam and online throughout British Columbia.
