Counselling in Langley for Adults & Teens
Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be carrying anxiety, feeling stuck in difficult patterns, or unsure how to move forward.
Counselling offers a space to slow down, reflect, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing
You might be here because…
Anxiety or worry feels hard to manage
You feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns
You feel disconnected from yourself or others
You’re navigating a difficult life transition
A loved one is struggling and you're unsure how to help
How Can I Help?
Understand Your Pattern
It’s not about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. Learn how your mind, body, and relationships adapted to survive difficult experiences.
Our struggles make sense looking at them through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens. What if your problem got its start as a solution?
Heal & Integrate
Rewiring our relationship with our inner world, our emotions, and our body.
Creating the safety and confidence to process our hidden wounds.
Developing a clearer and more integrated sense of self.
Find New Direction
Discover new ways of relating to our world, our relationships and ourselves.
Face pain and uncertainty with compassion and confidence.
Create greater freedom, flexibility, and connection in your life.
I work with adults and teens who struggle with:
Trauma and complex trauma
Anxiety and depression
Shame and self-criticism
Addiction or coping patterns
Relationship difficulties
Intrusive thoughts
Identity Confusion
Stigmatized Diagnoses
If you are looking for counselling, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
About Me
Hi, I’m Derian Julihn (he/him), a Registered Clinical Counsellor with nearly 20 years of experience supporting adults and youth through trauma, anxiety, shame, and relational struggles.
My practice is trauma-informed, relational, and collaborative.
Your identity, history, and lived experience are welcome here.
I believe healing happens when we feel:
Safe
Understood
Respected in our full identity
Together we explore the roots of your struggles while building new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I aim to bring empathy, curiosity, and sometimes humour into the work we do together.
