Empowering clinical practitioners with expertise and support to transform mental health for children and youth.
WELCOME TO
Katherine Gulley Clinical Counselling
I am a registered clinical counsellor and a BCACC approved clinical supervisor and supervisor mentor driven by a passion for teaching. Over many years of clinical practice and my own professional development, I have gained extensive expertise in working with children and youth who struggle with mental health concerns.

Beyond individual development, the long-term vision includes building a supportive community for therapists who are, or would like to be, working with children, youth, and families to foster connection, growth, and continuous learning.
