‘Healing trauma is not about learning to navigate the world outside, its about learning to navigate the world within’

― GABOR MATE

Every part of you has a story worth hearing.

Hi there, I’m Katharina Bleinis. I am a Master’s-level intern counsellor completing my practicum under the clinical supervision of Shivani Wells-Shaw. I offer counselling that is nervous-system informed, somatically attuned, and deeply relational. I honour the wisdom of the body and the complexity of all our parts that make and shape who we are.

I’m passionate about supporting clients navigating the impacts of trauma — including chronic overwhelm, anxiety, depression, dissociation, disconnection, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and relational patterns rooted in early attachment wounds.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual therapy at a student rate, both in-person at the Shivani Wells Clinic in Vancouver and online for residents of British Columbia. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, disconnection, or simply the complexities of being human, I offer a safe, compassionate space where every part of you is welcome. It would be an honour to connect.

Therapy is not something that happens in isolation. It is a relationship between two nervous systems continually sensing and responding to one another. In our work together, we pay attention to what unfolds between us as a pathway toward safety, trust, and connection.
