Hi, I’m Janelle Cohos, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and a Registered Psychologist in Alberta through the College of Alberta Psychologists (Alberta only). I am also a proud mom of two daughters. For over a decade, I’ve supported individuals and couples through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parenting stress/burnout, perinatal mood disorders, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. At the heart of my practice is a simple question: How can I best support you? Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, navigating a life transition, or sensing something needs to shift, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and respect. I am an EMDR-trained therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps to reprocess traumatic memories and distressing experiences. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and self-compassion practices. My approach is integrative and collaborative—we tailor therapy to what feels most supportive and effective for you. I am especially passionate about perinatal mental health. I have completed specialized training in maternal mental health to support moms and parents-to-be through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. Finding the right fit with a counsellor matters. If you’re curious about working together, I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation and would be honoured to connect. I hold a Master of Arts (MA) Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree in Psychology from University of Victoria. I currently work with individuals (adults 19+) and couples in my practice.

With over 10 years of experience in counselling, teaching, and social support roles, I support individuals and youth navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, grounded, and relational — rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel safe, heard, and understood.

Since childhood, creativity has shaped how I make sense of the world. Before becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I completed my BFA and BEd and spent years teaching and working closely with young people and families. Transitioning into counselling felt like a natural extension of my passion for meaningful one-on-one connection and supporting others in finding clarity and confidence within themselves.

Those close to me describe me as empathetic, real, and grounded. Drawing from my diverse life experiences, I bring deep empathy and a genuine understanding of the challenges people face. I meet clients where they are, honouring their lived experience while offering gentle guidance, emotional insight, and practical tools to help them feel more connected, regulated, and empowered in their lives.

I work from a trauma-informed, person-centred lens, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship above all. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, moving through grief or transition, or seeking a stronger sense of self, I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity, and steady support.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from The University of British Columbia and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Vancouver, offering both in-person sessions and virtual therapy across BC.

I have a background in psychology, neuroscience, and clinical addictions. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in a range of mental health settings, including crisis response, recovery groups, and accessibility advocacy — experiences that shaped my belief that people don’t need to be “fixed,” but understood.

My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, humanistic, and attachment-based approaches. I see counselling as a collaborative process where insight and action meet. Clients can expect a balance of curiosity, honesty, and practical tools in our work together.
