Reaching out for counselling can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating difficult emotions, past experiences, or challenges that seem hard to manage on your own. Whether you’re feeling anxious, struggling with past trauma, experiencing grief, or simply feeling stuck, you deserve a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

My name is Jennifer Love, and I am a Registered Social Worker based in Kelowna, British Columbia, offering online counselling services through phone and video sessions. I believe that seeking support is an important step toward healing, personal growth, and discovering the strengths you already possess.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, youth, and families navigating a wide range of life’s challenges. My professional experience in mental health, trauma, and community-based services has shaped my belief that meaningful change begins when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.

My approach to counselling is strength-based, compassionate, and client-centred. I specialize in complex trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, and grief. I recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique, and I believe counselling should reflect each person’s individual needs, strengths, and goals.

I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I believe that people possess an incredible capacity for resilience, even when they may not recognize it within themselves. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as we explore challenges, discover strengths, and work toward meaningful change.

I identify as Indigenous and bring an understanding of the importance of culture, identity, connection, and belonging into my practice. Having worked alongside Indigenous individuals, families, and communities, I recognize the lasting impacts of historical, systemic, and intergenerational trauma. I approach this work with cultural humility, respect, and a commitment to honouring each person’s unique experiences and perspectives.

Above all, I value the therapeutic relationship. I believe that trust, authenticity, compassion, and sometimes even a little humour can help create the safety needed for healing and personal growth. My goal is to provide a collaborative and inclusive counselling experience where you feel empowered, respected, and supported throughout your journey.

I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Northern British Columbia and a Graduate Certificate in Complex Trauma and Sexual Abuse Intervention from the Justice Institute of British Columbia.
