On December 20, 2024, the CRA announced that counselling services provided by Registered Clinical Counsellors in BC are now exempt from GST. You are eligible for a GST rebate if you paid GST on counselling services retroactive to June 20, 2024.
My name is Tori Wood and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and sports-focused mental health coach.
My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable setting to work together with my clients to help guide them through the counselling experience.

​
GENERAL MENTAL HEALTH FOCUS
In general, I work with youth, teens and adults struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, disordered eating, self-esteem, OCD, ADHD and life transitions. I work with a trauma informed framework - understanding the intricacies of navigating trauma work and healing. Specifically, I have ample experience working with individuals that have been impacted by trauma in the mountains and mountain sports.
​
​
SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY & MENTAL PERFORMANCE
I also specialize in working with athletes. Weather you're a professional athlete or just an avid enthusiast for movement, I can help guide you through the mental health issues related to sport and an active lifestyle. Some examples of these issues are recovering from injury and accidents, building confidence, creating a balanced lifestyle and working on motivation and goal setting. Additionally, I help individuals with strategies to work with fear and overcome mental blocks in sport.
​
​
MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH
The growing amount of men seeking out counselling has encouraged me to pursue additional education on men's mental health issues. Some of these include depression, substance abuse, anger, dating and relationship difficulties, self-esteem, sexual performance anxiety, porn-addiction, and finding purpose and meaning through discovering personal values.
​
​
Personally, I am a mountain biker, skier and mental health advocate. I believe in the healing power of adventure and the outdoors and have lived on the West Coast for over ten years.
​
I believe my role as a counsellor and mental health coach is to provide genuine conversation and to work in a collaborative relationship to help clients build confidence and faith in themselves.
