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. For over a decade, I have been teaching clinical counsellors and mental health therapists, both newer and established, on how to work with with clients with complex presentations including trauma and neurodiversity. My goal is to empower clinicians by providing them with the comprehensive knowledge and tools necessary to confidently navigate the challenges of supporting children and youth in need of mental health assistance. With a strong focus on integrative and holistic practice, this online education platform will offer core training and specialized courses, creating a one-stop shop for counsellors and clinical therapists to enhance their expertise and expand their practice. 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.

I hold a Bachelor degree in Psychology and a Master in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria. 

Why I Do What I Do

After almost two decades working as a clinical counsellor, I am continually amazed by the resiliency and resourcefulness of my clients. I have developed a deep passion for working with complex children, youth, and families experiencing the effects of neurodiversity, trauma and complicated social relationships. I truly believe that supporting children, youth, and families today is what will ultimately lead to a better tomorrow for all of us.

Driven by a passion for teaching, I've become a leading expert in working with complex and neurodiverse children and youth. My newest venture aims to empower clinical counsellors and practitioners with the comprehensive knowledge and tools to confidently navigate the challenges of supporting children and youth needing mental health assistance.
