Bonnie Hall

What clients carry out of sessions with Bonnie Hall is a clearer sense of who they are and how to stay true to that self while remaining genuinely connected to the people they love. A Registered Clinical Counsellor with a private practice in Richmond, BC, Bonnie works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self-esteem, as well as with couples and families at every stage and season of life.

Her path to counselling wound through more than two decades as a high school teacher in the Vancouver area and in Japan, and years of private music instruction — experience that gave her an instinctive feel for how people learn, change, and grow. She has been married for over forty years and raised three children, so she understands from the inside what it takes to keep a family functioning, to hold a long-term partnership together, and to find one’s footing through the many transitions life demands. Many of the people she sees describe a particular kind of loneliness — scrolling through messages all evening yet feeling unseen by the person sitting across the dinner table — and that gap between constant contact and real closeness sits at the heart of much of the relational work she does.

Bonnie draws on multiple therapeutic approaches, adapting her methods to each person, and creates a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard. She sees it as both a passion and a privilege to walk alongside people seeking greater harmony in their relationships and within themselves.
