When the way forward is hard to see, we find it together.
Online and in-person counselling and coaching for children, teens, young adults, and parents. A warm, judgement-free space for the big feelings.
"Watching your child struggle is one of the hardest things a parent can do. You don't have to figure this out alone."
Sandra Singer, Counsellor & Coach
Life can feel like a lot.
Whether you're a child or young adult navigating school, friendships, and big emotions, or a parent trying to support your child through it all, things can become overwhelming, confusing, or just hard to talk about.
This is a safe, supportive space where kids, teens, and families can explore what's really going on, build understanding, and take steps toward feeling more connected, confident, and in control. Sessions happen in person in North Vancouver or online, and the approach is compassionate, evidence-informed, and shaped around each person's strengths, not a formula.
Three ways in
How I can help.
01
For your child
Creative, play-based counselling for anxiety, big emotions, friendships, loss, and change. Tools kids actually enjoy, in person or online.
02
For your teen
Confidence, motivation, executive function, and what comes next. Forward-focused coaching, on their terms.
03
For parents
Guilt-free, practical guidance to understand the behaviour, calm the storms, and enjoy family life again.
How it goes
From tangled to clear.
Arrive as you are
Worried, stuck, or just not sure what comes next. That is the right starting point.
Untangle it together
Week by week, the knot loosens. What felt like one big problem becomes a few small ones.
Leave with a direction
Not a lecture and not a label. A next step that feels like your own.
Meet Sandra
Professional training on one side. Lived experience on the other.
Sandra began her counselling practice in London in 2012, across charities, schools, and private work, and now practises from North Vancouver: in person on Lonsdale Avenue and online across the UK, Canada, and worldwide.
More than 400 families have worked with her through anxiety, OCD, low confidence, and neurodiversity. She is also a mum of two neurodivergent teens, so none of this is theoretical.
How I've helped
Real families, real turnarounds.
Rose
age 9 · separation anxiety
Rose worried constantly that something bad would happen to her mum, and doubted herself at school. Together we loosened the worry's grip, and her parents got their evenings back.
Lukas
age 12 · anxiety & control
Lukas's anxiety showed up as controlling behaviour, at home and at school, and he could not sleep alone. He learned to recognize and manage the worry, and his parents learned to see what was driving it.
Hanna & Louise
two overstretched parents
Three kids under four, two very different parenting styles, and constant arguments about discipline. A few sessions built a shared approach: calmer mealtimes, more team.
"Your help was invaluable in moving from a situation where we just didn't know what to do, to one in which there seem to be a lot more possibilities."

Take the first step
Let's find the first step.
A free fifteen-minute call to talk about what's going on and whether we're the right fit. No forms, no commitment, just a conversation.
Every child needs room to grow.
