Tolu Adewole (RCC #21333)

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), and a highly qualified and compassionate social services professional with over a decade of experience in human services, clinical counselling, supported housing, and addiction services. I am currently working toward my CCC, and RP designations, as well as EMDR certification. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO, a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and a student member of the BC Association of Clinical Counselors. My goal is to become a fully Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO, and EMDR certified by mid-2026.

​

I am a Clinical Counsellor dedicated to providing trauma-informed support for individuals and families facing emotional and relational challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy, safety, and empowerment, helping each person feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey to healing. With experience managing a supportive housing program, I also bring expertise in navigating crises and coordinating care, ensuring that the support I provide is both compassionate and practical.

​

I am deeply committed to supporting my clients through evidence-based, compassionate care. I specialize in trauma recovery, relationship challenges, and mental health support, providing personalized and holistic approaches to help individuals and families build resilience and well-being. As a devoted wife and mother, I bring empathy, understanding, and a genuine sense of care to my practice, guiding clients on their journey toward healing and personal growth.

My Approach to Therapy

​Starting a mental health journey takes courage, and my goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring your concerns, identifying your needs, and addressing areas where you feel stuck.

​

I use a variety of techniques, including mindfulness, body awareness, parts work, breathing exercises, creative activities, and connection with nature, tailored to your unique experiences. My aim is to help you cultivate a healthier relationship with your emotions, nervous system, and inner self, fostering self-discovery and personal growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply seeking personal development, I’m here to support you on your path toward healing, resilience, and empowerment.

​

Clients I work with

I work with pre-teens, teenagers, youth, and adults navigating a variety of life challenges. My areas of focus include:

• Depression, anxiety, and mood regulation

• Navigating relationships, attachment injuries, and boundary setting

• Life transitions, grief, and existential concerns

• Trauma, addiction, and disruptions in sexual or physical health

• Self-esteem, confidence, and managing perfectionism, self-criticism, or people-pleasing

• Anger management, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts

• Career stress, body image concerns, and disordered relationships with food

​

Together, we explore these challenges with compassion and understanding, uncovering strengths and promoting healing, growth, and resilience.

 

Modalities I use

I use a client-centered, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approach, integrating evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs. My work incorporates Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method, and I am also working toward developing competency in EMDR.

 

For clients who desire it, I offer Christian-based counselling, integrating faith-informed perspectives with clinical practice in a respectful and compassionate manner.

I support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions, with a focus on fostering healing, emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth.
