Mind-power, Body-well-being, Soul-awakening
Ruby Bains, Master of Counselling: Registered Clinical Counsellor #14210
I have 9 years of clinical experience, post Masters, in substance misuse (as well as process addictions such as shopping, eating disorders, sexual activity), anxiety and depression, anger, grief and loss, psychiatric concerns, relationship, parenting and cross-cultural concerns, and have been in the field for a total of 14 years. I tend to utilize a holistic approach, drawing from a number of therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural, solution-focused, existential, narrative and emotion-focused. I believe that each client is unique and deserves tailor made synergy.
I wish to express my gratitude for being granted access into the depths of one’s soul. In a collaborative search for peace, I hope to create a safe and comfortable environment for all those I connect with. I hope that in our time spent together we are able to mitigate, what we perceive as stress, if only for a moment. I do so by advocating mindfulness, self-development and actualization practices. My hope is to work side by side with my fellow human beings while supporting them during difficult times. I look forward to our paths crossing.
Kindly note that I conduct therapy utilizing the telehealth modality. This means that I am able to connect with clientele all over British Columbia, Canada virtually: video (Microsoft Teams), telephone or e-mail (encrypted). I have served clients throughout BC and I have worked in many cities such as Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Further, I am familiar with the resources throughout the Lower Mainland.

Kristen Bains, Master of Social Work: Registered Clinical Counsellor #19220
I have worked seven years as a Child and Youth Care Counsellor with the Surrey School District and two years as a Child and Family Therapist with Vancouver Coastal Health. I work with children, adolescents, parents and families. I specialize in ADHD, selective mutism, depression, anxiety, parenting, OCD, attachment, anger management, grief and loss, and suicide. I utilize the following modalities: Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic and Solution-focused Therapy.
I believe the key to a therapeutic alliance/relationship is to provide a setting where one feels comfortable sharing their intimate thoughts, beliefs and emotions in a safe, open and non-judgemental environment.
Please note that I work virtually (telephone and video) and in-person (Office: Surrey, BC).
