This is Wen.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). My work is rooted in a relational, trauma-informed approach that gently honours how our past experiences, unconscious patterns, and protective defences shape the way we see ourselves and connect with others. I strive to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and genuine, where we can explore relational dynamics, deepen emotional insight, strengthen regulation, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I also work as a nurse in adult emergency psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, and high-acuity inpatient settings, supporting individuals and families through moments of crisis, complexity, and vulnerability. In this role, I work closely with concerns such as depression, anxiety, substance misuse, suicidality, psychosis, and personality-related patterns. This experience has strengthened my ability to remain calm, compassionate, and steady, and continues to shape the grounded, attentive way I show up in therapy.

I place strong value on non-violent communication and relational transparency. I believe that therapeutic depth is built through relational safety. 

Outside of work, I’m pretty low-key. A chilled guy. I find joy in the kitchen, in nature, on long walks, and in traveling. I enjoy cooking, going to the gym with my trainer, and spending time with animals — especially dogs. I really love dogs.
