Hello and welcome. 

** Not accepting clients currently. Please check back January 2026. **

I'm Sheila Gauthier (goat-see-eh) and I use the pronouns she/her.

My counselling approach is 
strengths-based, solution focused, trauma-informed/sensitive practice
and with a compassionate inquiry style.
I am able to attune to a variety of client sensitivities.
My style is gentle as well as direct. 
I have a long list of life experiences & I bet you do too.  

Your emotional and physical safety is key as is your
consent, choice, and collaboration throughout our work together. 
I adhere to ethics and confidentiality as part of my profession.

Counselling services are in person at 1183 Fort Street, Victoria BC
(Strength In Heart Counselling).
Free 20 minute virtual consult is an option.  

Thanks for being here.
Warmly, 
Sheila
