Carly James

Hello everyone, my name is Carly (she/her). I am nearing completion of my Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology through Athabasca University. As a VIU Alumni, I am grateful to walk alongside current students through their life challenges. I majored in Psychology alongside an Addiction Studies Certificate and have worked in the field of addictions for 5 years.

My philosophy around counselling is "you are the expert of you" and it is a privilege to be welcomed to hear a bit of your story. My approach tends to be person-centered, solutions-focused, and strengths-based. My interests in counselling include addictions, decision-making, challenging beliefs, and grief and loss. I look forward to helping individuals improve their self-reflection and realize their resilience and inner resources.
