Katie St. Jean

Something beneath the surface keeps pulling people back to the same patterns — in relationships, in how they handle stress, in the way old wounds shape present choices. Katie St. Jean, a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Campbell River, BC, works with individuals and couples who feel stuck in those cycles and are ready to understand why. Her practice draws on attachment science, emotion-focused approaches, and Gottman-trained couples therapy to help clients build genuine emotional awareness and lasting change.

For individuals, that means slowing down enough to examine what anxiety or conflict is actually signaling — a skill that matters when the default is to stay busy, scroll past discomfort, and never quite sit with what’s underneath. For couples, she focuses on restoring emotional connection, improving how partners communicate through conflict, and rebuilding the respect and intimacy that distance can erode. She also supports parents and parents-to-be navigating the shift that a growing family brings to a partnership.

Katie works with adults across a wide range of concerns — from addiction and abuse recovery to anger, boundaries, anxiety, family conflict, and the aftermath of divorce or infidelity. Sessions are available in person in downtown Campbell River and virtually across BC.
