About Fieldwork

With you every step of the way

field·work /ˈfēldwərk/
noun
1. practical work conducted by a researcher in the natural environment, rather than in an office.

At Fieldwork, we take an holistic approach to counselling, focusing not just on the problems you face, but the inner resources you have available to you. Through real connection and evidence-based techniques, we work to help you craft the life you want to live, while focusing on your needs, preferences, and goals.

Our team of Masters-trained counsellors is dedicated to helping you achieve greater calm, clarity, and confidence, first for today, and then the long term. In all our work, we strive to help you locate deeper self-understanding, and a sense of personal capacity. With our compassionate approach to self-exploration, we hope to empower you with the tools you need to live a happier, healthier life.

Our name reflects the value we place on taking an active, curious attitude toward personal growth. As a practice, fieldwork is all about practical, first-hand experience, and that’s the approach we take to counselling. We believe that true wellness is more than just what happens in the counselling room: it’s informed by, and demonstrated every day in the world around us.

Our values

Honesty

We believe that leading with honesty paves the way for two key ingredients of good counselling: trust and vulnerability

Curiosity

We don't judge, but seek first and always to understand — from the moment we meet, and at every point along the way

Authenticity

We bring our authentic selves to the counselling relationship, and strive to help you find the comfort to bring yours, too

Warmth

We embrace you just as you are, no matter how you're showing up today, because we believe that warmth kindles connection

Growth

We see growth as inevitable: it's what we do as living beings, and as human beings we're meant to grow and learn together

Strength

We believe that growth emerges by tapping into our personal strengths. That's why we work to help you find, and hone your own

The connection you share with your Counsellor is the single most important factor for getting the outcomes you’re looking for. All of our Counsellors offer the opportunity to share a conversation first, for you to get a sense of whether they’re a fit for you.

Each of our Counsellors offer sessions online and in-person out of Vancouver offices. All of our Counsellors hold advanced graduate-level training and experience in counselling.

Registered Counsellors provide sessions covered by most extended benefit plans, while our Associate Counsellors offer lower-cost services that are not covered by insurance.
