Monstera Leaf Counselling
Counselling in Victoria, BC
​
Amelia Gordon
Mental Health Counsellor in Victoria, BC
I offer free counselling sessions Wednesdays from 10am-7pm to make counselling more accessible, please contact for more information on this
Therapy with me is about walking through tough decisions, life transitions, and big changes together, giving you something to lean on during tricky times and hopefully removing some of the weight that is bringing you down. My therapy is collaborative, person centred, and empathetic.
​
I enjoy working with both youth and adults, drawing from CBT, DBT, art therapy, and other evidence based modalities. I have a strong understanding of Autism and ADHD through my work as both a Behaviour Interventionist and Community Inclusion Worker.
​
I work with people experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, and neurodivergent stress who are tired of pushing through alone. Together, we focus on making sense of what you're carrying and building ways to move forward that actually fit your life and brain. You might be the person who keeps everything together on the outside while feeling dismissed on the inside by others, by healthcare systems, or even by yourself because it doesn’t seem “bad enough” to ask for help. I encourage you to get to know me as I get to know you, creating a space where you feel safe. There’s no pressure to show up a certain way, come as you are​.
I’m warm, understanding, and deeply invested in the therapeutic relationship. I encourage you to get to know me as I get to know you, creating a space where you feel safe. I offer a free initial consultation, simple online booking,
I am currently working under the supervision of a registered counselling supervisor and offer lower cost counselling and sliding scale appointments based on income as well as free counselling Wednesdays from 10am-7pm.
"Like a monstera leaf, your growth may take time, but with patience, resilience, and the right care, you will flourish in your own unique way, embracing the beauty of each new twist and turn."

My APPROACH & ABOUT ME
Amelia Gordon
Therapy is not one size fits all...
My work as a counsellor is shaped by both professional and lived experience. With a background in behaviour intervention, community inclusion work, and youth rugby coaching, I bring a collaborative, strengths-based approach grounded in empathy and real-world understanding.
​
I support clients in building lives that feel meaningful and self-directed. Not defined by illness or struggle, but living alongside these challenges with confidence and choice. In our work together, your experiences will be validated and explored with care as we look at the options available to you and find a path forward that fits your goals. I use an integrative approach, tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs.
MY AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION
Trauma
Trauma is hard to define, it means different things for different people, but if we don't address our past or current traumas they can show up in ways difficult to manage or control.
Anxiety & Mood Disorders
Youth Counselling
Growing up is hard.
Sometimes the kiddos we love are feeling the big feelings and we don't know exactly how to help, this is all part of growing up but its important to build strong foundations of support to get through life's challenges.
Coping Strategies
Learn skills, recognize cognitive distortions, and move forward. It's tough to go through life with these struggles but through your own resiliency it can become more manageable.
Grief
Grief is proof that the energy those we've lost never ceases to exist. It can be tough but it's important to channel our grief in healthy ways.
Learning healthy tools and strategies to cope with life's ups and downs.
Autism & ADHD
Todays society sometimes struggles to accommodate those with different operating systems, but learning to adapt to your environment and advocate for the change you need to be successful is a great place to start.
