Everyone deserves love, self-compassion, and respect.
Welcome!
My name is Michael Cheng and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) located in the Lower Mainland of BC. My clients are often stuck in cycles of shame and anxiety due to the many factors that influence their daily life, such as neglect, bullying, abuse, and more. As a result of these cycles, we find that we cannot act in ways that we would like. Our emotions become unregulated, we can’t treat those we love the way we would like, and we live lives lacking in meaning.

Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Therapy (AEDP)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
The Gottman Method for Couples
Clients have told me that they appreciate my sense of humor, my focus on both their emotional experience (something that all counsellors do) AND focusing on practical ways to help them manage their daily challenges.
