Elena Prill, BCACC Student Member

Welcome. I'm Elena (she/her), a counselling practicum student completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

Change can take many forms. Sometimes change is something we long for, when parts of our lives no longer fit, when we feel stuck, or when we cannot yet see what comes next. Other times, it arrives uninvited through loss, illness, or circumstances we never would have chosen.

My work is especially focused on supporting people who find themselves facing a version of life they never expected. Perhaps you're navigating a health challenge, struggling with infertility, grieving pregnancy or infant loss, facing a change in your career or relationship, or standing at a crossroads unsure of what comes next. You may feel overwhelmed, isolated, caught between hope and disappointment, or uncertain about who you are becoming.

These experiences can shake our sense of certainty and leave us with questions that don't have easy answers. In counselling, we can work together to make sense of what has happened, honour what has been lost, and discover what it might mean to move forward.

Prior to beginning my counselling training, I spent years as a change consultant working with people and organizations navigating challenge and transformation. I also understand from my own life what it means to face the unexpected, rebuild after a health crisis, find your footing far from home, and sit with profound grief. Throughout my experiences, I’ve come to see how important it is for anyone going through change to be met with care.

My approach is collaborative and thoughtful. I draw from several evidence-based methods, including person-centred, cognitive behavioural, narrative, and psychodynamic therapies. More than any technique, however, I believe the most important thing is that you feel genuinely understood and supported.

I currently offer low-cost counselling while completing my practicum under the supervision of a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Approved Clinical Supervisor. Generous sliding scale options are available.

You’re welcome to book a free consultation to explore how we might work together.
