I’m Julie Thomason (she/her), an experienced Registered Clinical Counsellor, Approved Clinical Supervisor and Sex Therapist based in the heart of the Pacific West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. 

​

My clinical counselling specializations are focused on supporting and empowering women and LGBT2SQIA+ people who are navigating health and wellness, ADHD, sexuality, trauma and relationships— and I have to tell you, I love what I do!

​

People that I have collaborated professionally with before have shared that I embody a radically authentic and down-to-earth presence. They describe me as wise, curious and humorously candid.

 

My approach to therapy is grounded in creating a genuine connection and a space where you can feel comfortable and understood.​ As a therapist and a supervisor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the counselling space, including my ongoing learning, and unlearning, in the interdisciplinary healthcare field of sexual health and wellness.​ Counselling with me is warm and collaborative.

 

My therapeutic style integrates many evidence and strength-based approaches and is deeply rooted in a trauma-informed, bio-psycho-social-sexual and spiritual, but non-religious framework, that considers your history, intersectional identities, relationships and the larger systems that we live, love and play within. 

​

Some approaches I use are use emotion-focused approaches, somatic or body-based approaches and I can use cognitive behavior approaches, as needed, while working together towards your growth and healing.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I earned a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, British Columbia. Creativity is a way of living and a way of being in the world and this still shapes how I see the world today. I am also queer, visibly abled and I love learning, just like my clients.

​

There’s something incredibly powerful that can happen when two people — two minds, hearts, bodies and spirits — come together to co-create a plan and a path moving forward. This space of transformation is beautiful, sacred and life-giving. 

 

I am grateful and honoured that I get to do this work with you and if you are open to connecting, I want to invite you to start the conversation today.
