Sarah Sovereign, R.C.C.
Hi, I’m Sarah Sovereign (she/her), a Registered Clinical Counsellor & visual artist in B.C. and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
I work alongside folks navigating the wild and often tender terrain of ADHD, grief and loss, and the lifelong work of reclaiming self-worth and self-esteem. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of self-doubt, or carrying a heaviness that’s hard to name, I offer a space where you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
My counselling approach is collaborative, compassionate, and down to earth. I believe you’re the expert on your life - and my role is to walk beside you, not ahead of you, as we explore what healing and growth look like for you. Together, we’ll create a space where your nervous system can exhale, your story can be held with care, and your strengths can start to shine through again.
As someone who understands the unique challenges of living with ADHD - because I also have it - and the goldmine of creativity, sensitivity, and insight it can come with - I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent folks in building lives that actually fit - for them. I also hold deep respect for the grief process, in all its nonlinear, sacred mess and I know how hard it can be to feel worthy in a world that tells you otherwise.
Therapy with me might include moments of deep reflection, bursts of laughter, creative problem-solving, gentleness, and always, a fierce respect for your pace and your process. If you're looking for a counsellor who will meet you with warmth, honesty, and zero judgment - you’re in the right place.
Let’s start where you are.
Counselling for You
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or moving through something tender - like grief, burnout, or a change that’s hard to name. Maybe your mind feels busy, scattered, or stuck. Maybe you’re navigating life as a neurodivergent person in a world that often feels mismatched to how you move through it.
Whatever brings you, you are welcome here.
I work with adults who are seeking a thoughtful, compassionate space to slow down and make sense of what they’re carrying. This isn’t about pushing toward quick fixes — it’s about taking the time to listen closely to what matters to you, and finding ways forward that feel supportive and sustainable.
My Approach
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Chilliwack, BC, and I offer virtual counselling throughout British Columbia, from nearby communities to places like Vancouver, Langley, Prince George, Fort St. John, and beyond.
My work is:
Strengths-based – focused on your capacities, not just your struggles
Solution-focused – gently supporting change in ways that feel doable
Collaborative – we’ll work together, side by side
Inclusive and neuro-affirming – all of you is welcome here
As someone who is also neurodivergent, I bring lived experience, flexibility, and deep respect for the different ways people process the world. I know what it’s like to feel misunderstood or out of sync and how powerful it can be to feel truly seen.
Who I Support
I work with adults who are navigating:
ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence (formally diagnosed or self-identified)
Grief and loss, including pet loss, layered, and ongoing grief
Creative blocks or burnout, especially in artists, makers, and deep feelers
Emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or life transitions
Chronic fatigue or health challenges, and the quiet grief they can carry
Whether you’re in the midst of something difficult, or simply feeling ready for a deeper kind of support, I offer a grounded and thoughtful space to explore what healing might look like: at your own pace, in your own way.
Let’s begin, gently - I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so you can get a sense of what it might be like to work together. It’s a chance to ask questions, share what you’re hoping for, and see if this feels like a good fit - no pressure, no expectations.
