Kristina Sohal

Kristina Sohal builds her counselling practice on a straightforward conviction: people already carry the capacity for change, and the work is to help them find it again. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Vancouver, BC, she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, mindfulness exercises, and techniques such as Exposure Therapy and Empty Chair work — not as a fixed protocol, but shaped around each individual’s goals and treatment needs. Every session ends with a clear sense that the client’s concerns have been heard and that progress is within reach.

Kristina works with teenagers, young adults, men, and women navigating loss of self-confidence, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse recovery, addiction, and workplace burnout — helping them identify the negative beliefs and behavioural cycles quietly keeping them stuck. She recognises that compulsive patterns don’t always announce themselves; for some clients, the same reward loops driving a gambling habit show up just as powerfully in hours lost to scrolling or gaming. Her approach meets each person where those patterns live.

She also facilitates group counselling for women who have experienced partner abuse, running structured programs that examine the cycle of abuse, its emotional aftermath, and paths toward recovery. For men dealing with anger, she offers one-on-one work focused on understanding triggers, building self-awareness, and developing healthier ways of expressing feelings. Online sessions are available.
