You want to be more
present, authentic, and connected in your relationships

You’ve tried inner work already — maybe some mindfulness and journaling, maybe some cold plunging, maybe holding it all together with a thread and some willpower. But some patterns won’t shift.

I offer somatic trauma therapy that gets to the root of things.

Maybe some of these sound familiar:

  • You chase perfection, hoping it’ll finally make you feel “good enough” — or at least not like an imposter.

  • You say “yes” when you mean “no,” then feel burned out and resentful

  • You crave deeper connection and belonging but feel anxious and struggle to be yourself around others

  • You get into or stay in relationships that don’t really work for you

  • Your emotions either flood you or go missing altogether.

  • You want to feel alive, creative, you — but end up frozen, doom-scrolling, or procrastinating

You might think that you just have to learn some better mantras, do more yoga, be less 'this way' and more 'that way'. That sheer willpower can change how you feel about yourself and in your relationships

That's not how it works.

The truth?

You’re not broken — you’re likely just stuck in a survival pattern that makes perfect sense. Early childhood experiences, challenging family dynamics, relationships, or traumas later in life – they all leave an imprint in our systems. They affect how we feel about ourselves and how we respond to the world around us. And that’s something we can work with.

The (not so) secret to taking control of our lives and relationships is to heal the root issues underlying our painful patterns – not just putting band-aids on them.

Helen Beynon Squamish Counsellor Virtual Online Therapy

Hi, I’m Helen

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I work with thoughtful, sensitive adults who are done with surface-level fixes and ready to gently unravel the old stuff that’s been running the show. Together, we’ll create space for you to show up authentically in your relationships with others AND yourself.

Somatic Trauma Therapy

This isn’t just talk therapy (though we will talk). My work is rooted in:
Somatic Experiencing – to help your body gently release stored trauma and shift out of survival mode
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to meet your inner parts with compassion, not judgment
Nervous system regulation + attachment repair – so healing doesn’t just stay in your head

These methods are grounded in neuroscience research and best practices for healing – we’re not just winging it. This is foundational work — the kind that can transform how you feel, relate, and move through the world.
