Let’s begin your path: expert therapy for a transformative life
Facilitating healing, growth and expansion. We provide counselling for individuals, couples, and families in Vancouver, BC and Canada.
If you desire more connection, peace of mind, if you’re ready for a change but unsure what direction to take…
We offer psychotherapy that is clinically grounded and deeply human, with room for the deeper questions of meaning, conscience, purpose, grief, and transformation.
Change is a process of becoming conscious of what was previously unconscious in ourselves. We need great compassion and heart to see ourselves, rid ourselves of the inner critic, process our pain and make changes in our lives.
The team at Head & Heart Counselling is here to help bring expert awareness and sincere compassion to your process.

Meet the Founder of Head and Heart Counselling
Katherine Young, M.Ed., Registered Clinical Counsellor
I am so pleased to bring Head and Heart Counselling to the wider public in Vancouver, BC and more widely in Canada, now as a clinic with other carefully chosen therapists. I started Head and Heart when I began practicing psychotherapy in 2005 after graduating from the UBC counselling psychology program.
Once out of school, I became inspired by integral psychology, a theory penned by the American philosopher and pandit, Ken Wilber. Integral theory offers a grounded and intellectually rigorous way to integrate wisdom traditions with Western science. When I came across it, in the early 200'0’s provided me a way to offer people both the science and the art of psychotherapy so I could meet clients in all dimensions of their being.
Esoteric wisdom, found in the likes of Zen Buddhism, Sufism, Taoism, Advaita Vedanta, Kabbalah and Christian Mysticism had become estranged and discarded from mainstream therapy in spite of the fact that psychotherapy actually originated from them! In 2005 mindfulness was a radical new introduction to the academic space of psychotherapy. Since that time it has been firmly established as a valuable and transformative practice, but these powerful wisdom traditions offer so much more!
After 20 years working as a therapist in community agencies, Vancouver Coastal Health, Family Services of Greater Vancouver and private practice, I have a very wide breadth of experience as well as a deep, clinically grounded foundation. Having sat in the therapist’s chair for what feels like a very long time, 20 years, woah, I can’t believe it! I have worked with virtually every population you can think of from addictions, to more entrenched mental health diagnoses, grief, anxiety and with families, couples, teens, children and high performing professionals and athletes
What I have heard from my clientele more recently is that there is an increasing acceptance of therapy as well as increasing demand. I am excited to bring Head and Heart Counselling to the wider public as we as a profession collectively learn how to uphold high standards of clinically grounded, ethically minded and ideologically open psychotherapy as we meet this exciting new demand.
In the last few years, with new, ground breaking psychedelic research coinciding with the mental health crisis during the pandemic, and the coming of age of the millennial generation, there has been a much needed sea-change in the way mental health is valued and in the perception of alternative methods for promoting healing and freedom from suffering. The world is changing and we at Head and Heart Counselling are expanding to meet that need with high quality, highly trained therapists.
Head and Heart Counselling in Vancouver, BC, is a group of dedicated therapists bringing the best of scientifically validated psychotherapy techniques and time-honoured wisdom traditions to help you process becoming more peaceful, purposeful, connected, and alive.
