Your Journey to Change Starts Here
Okay, but who are you?
Education, Accreditation, and my approaches
aka How Do You Know How to Do This?
My name is Hannah Hale and I am a pre-licensed Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). This means I am accredited through the BCACC, the legal regulatory body within BC. I have a Masters in Counselling with City University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Sociology, from the University of Victoria.
I practice primarily through the lens of narrative, Interpersonal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and person-centered therapy. I believe that your time is valuable and should be focused on what you want to focus on. The tools I use are for us to create change, together.
Therapeutic beliefs
Aka But Are You Going to be Cool About That?
I believe in the power of social justice and an intersectional understanding of our world. I am a member of the LGBT+ community and love working with clients within my community. I aim to be kink-positive, sex work-positive, and body-positive within session. However, I am not perfect. I appreciate being challenged, and being taught. However, teaching me should never be your responsibility in session, and I make sure that doesn’t happen (we can discuss more during your first session!)
My main priority is always your safety within session
Counselling:
With you in the drivers seat
Client-centred,
I focus on you and what you want within session. No more being talked over, being misunderstood, or rigid therapeutic structures. I’m also inclined to support your strengths, work out the solution to a problem, and maybe even challenge some narratives that no longer serve you.
Flexible schedule, flexible pricing
Recently graduated, I have a smaller caseload than most established counsellors. This allows for appointments that can work around your schedule. No more sticking to the 9-5s that have been preventing you from booking that appointment.
Sessions are priced to reflect my experience, as per the BCACC guidelines. Sliding scale offered upon request.
Sessions available remotely or in person!
Change focused
When I focus on change as a counsellor, I prioritize your growth and healing instead of just diagnosing or labelling your experiences. I don’t position myself as the expert with all the answers; instead, I work collaboratively with you to explore your strengths, possibilities, and goals. This approach helps you foster empowerment, respect, and lasting transformation.
