Welcome to Seeking Sunrise Therapy & Counselling

📅 Availability

I work Mon-Thurs with some evening slots from 4-7pm. If you prefer an in-person session without Parker, please book on Wednesdays, as those are typically his rest days.

📌 Fee Update Notice – Effective January 1, 2026

My 2025 rates followed the 2024 BCACC Recommended Fee Guide. As of January 1st, 2026, fees will be updated to align with current professional standards and practice sustainability, as follows:

  • $160 for a 50-minute session

Step 2: Intake Session
If you decide to move forward after your consultation, the next step is to book a full intake session. This first counselling session can be held online or in person (in office).


In Office Therapy

My office is cozy and welcoming, created to feel like a living room where you can settle in with a cup of tea. Parker, my therapy dog, may be present in the office Mon, Tues & Thurs.

If you prefer movement or the outdoors, we can do a walk and talk along the beach or sit by the shoreline. Please note that this beach area has a bit more foot traffic than some of my other locations.


Nature-Based Therapy

Nature-based therapy offers the chance to step outside the traditional office setting and connect with yourself in the healing presence of the outdoors. Sessions can take the form of walk and talks along peaceful trails, time spent by the shoreline, sitting at a bench or even kayak therapy on calm waters.

Nature-based therapy offers the chance to step outside the traditional office setting and connect with yourself in the healing presence of the outdoors. Sessions can take the form of walk and talks along peaceful trails, time spent by the shoreline, sitting at a bench or even kayak therapy on calm waters. Being in nature can help create a sense of ease, support emotional regulation, and open space for reflection and movement.

Parker, my therapy dog, often joins walk and talk sessions and can bring a comforting presence as we move together through nature.


Virtual Therapy (Telehealth)

We will meet through the secure online link that Jane provides, allowing you to stay cozy at home while we work together. Virtual sessions can be a wonderful option if you live outside the Sunshine Coast, have a busy schedule, or simply feel more at ease connecting from your own space. Many clients appreciate the comfort and flexibility of this format, especially when life feels full. Parker, m... Read More

We will meet through the secure online link that Jane provides, allowing you to stay cozy at home while we work together. Virtual sessions can be a wonderful option if you live outside the Sunshine Coast, have a busy schedule, or simply feel more at ease connecting from your own space. Many clients appreciate the comfort and flexibility of this format, especially when life feels full. Parker, my therapy dog, may still pop in to say a quick hello during our time together, but if you would prefer a dog-free session, just let me know.


Extended Sessions

Hi, I’m Sonia (she/her). I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) who works with youth (14+) and adults. My approach is relational, warm, and grounded in both lived experience and professional training.

Alongside traditional counselling, I offer walk-and-talk sessions in nature and therapy sessions by kayak. Many clients find that being outdoors, whether on the water, in the forest, or along a quiet path, helps them feel more grounded, calm, and open. Nature provides a supportive space for healing, regulation, and connection.

My therapy dog Parker often joins us in this work. He is a trained therapy dog who brings steady, calming support with a touch of goofiness.

Wherever we meet, whether indoors, outdoors, or on the water, I strive to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and know you will be met with compassion, care, and respect.
