Find Calm in the Current
Approach
Open Shore Counselling is a dedicated counselling practice based in British Columbia, offering services to support individuals and families. Just as many of us are drawn to the ocean in times of stress, this practice was inspired by the sea's calming and grounding effects—a reminder that healing also comes in waves.
Hilary uses a strengths-based, person-centred approach to foster growth, healing, and resilience. Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities—including mindfulness, play therapy, emotionally focused therapy, attachment therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy—she tailors each session to meet the unique needs of her clients and support their mental health and well-being.
