Self-Esteem & Personal Growth

Low self-worth, self-doubt, a harsh inner critic, difficulty setting boundaries, or limiting beliefs can keep you from living the life you deserve. In our work together, we'll gently challenge these patterns and build a foundation of self-compassion and confidence. You'll learn to connect more deeply with yourself, trust your own voice, and step into a stronger, more authentic version of who you are.

Laura Chartrand, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor in Victoria BC

Hi, I'm Laura

— a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor.

My path to becoming a counsellor began with my own journey of healing and self-discovery. Through working through anxiety, self-doubt, and the complexities of relationships and life transitions, I learned how powerful it can be to have someone truly see and support you. That experience inspired me to create a practice where adults and couples feel safe to explore their struggles, uncover patterns, and make meaningful changes. I know what it feels like to carry heavy emotions and to wonder if things will ever feel lighter. That understanding shapes everything I do—from the way I listen to the personalized approach I bring to each session. My goal is to offer you more than just therapy; I want to provide compassionate care where you feel empowered, hopeful, and genuinely supported.

Philosophy

I believe that healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been whole. We're all wired for connection, and when we feel safe enough to be vulnerable, real transformation becomes possible. My approach honors the complexity of being human: the messy emotions, the old patterns, the tender places we're afraid to touch. Through compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, we can create lasting change that touches every part of your life—your relationship with yourself, your connections with others, and the way you move through the world.
