Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life’s circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.

My counselling services are collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed while rooted in a holistic approach (body/mind/spirit). I draw from various theoretical lenses, including Existential, Adlerian, Internal Family Systems, Jungian, DBT, and CBT.

Rim Yassine

REMOTE ACROSS BC

Rim Yassine

MA, The University of Queensland
Years in practice: 11
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”

My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.

Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.

I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.

I’m a registered clinical counsellor and certified sexologist. A big part of my work is centred around understanding sexuality and relationships, and supporting clients as they move through the challenges that can show up in those parts of their lives.

My therapy style is rooted in being curious, authentic, and collaborative.I see therapy as a shared process, where we work together instead of me prescribing solutions. I use evidence-based approaches while also offering meaningful tools and takeaways you can actually use in your day-to-day life. I aim to create a space that feels comfortable and honest, where you can show up as you are and move at your own pace. I specialize in sex therapy, couples therapy, and trauma.

I’m a Family Systems Therapist who has been in practice since 1988. I work with men from a family of origin or a family systems approach. This means, in part, that I think of men and their emotional functioning within a systems framework. I think about how their sense of themselves, and their emotional function has been shaped by the relational dynamic of their friends and family, past and present. This then contributes to emotional health symptoms like depression.

Ever feel like saying FML? Between working nonstop to get ahead, demanding relationships, marriage and kids, it can feel impossible to make time for yourself. It’s no wonder your mental health eventually takes a toll. Showing up as anxiety, anger and depression or some other stressful situation that pulls you down. So how can you keep up when most men choose to isolate and go it alone?
Well, one of the best ways to stay sane in an insane world is to stay connected and check-in with a trusted friend or guide. No matter what you’re going through, I’m here to help. My practice specializes in men’s issues like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, communication in relationships, and a lack of meaning in life.
My style is direct and grounded in a dual-accredited background—a crucial asset often missing in the field. I hold an MA in Counselling Psychology and am a retired MD. This combination ensures a powerful, results-driven approach to change. I have also completed VIU’s Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy program.
