Therapy for people dealing with overwhelm, loss, and life transitions — online or in person in Victoria, BC
Solemere Psychotherapy
Hello!
My name is Tanya, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in Victoria, BC. I offer grounded, practical support from a relational and trauma-informed perspective. I believe therapy is where transformation occurs through a combination of my guidance and your courage. I've known what it’s like to lose direction, rebuild, and to learn the how to keep going when there wasn’t a clear way forward. With over fifty years behind me, I don’t come to this work untouched — I bring the perspective of someone who has lived through enough of life’s hardest edges that I can meet you with honesty, empathy, and respect.
It’s a privilege to be entrusted with your story, and I approach that responsibility with care, respect, and gratitude: I respect the courage it takes to step into this space, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I also believe our personal and working lives are closely connected, and what we experience in our lives inevitably affects how we feel and function at work. I help organizations understand the human factors behind workplace performance and gives leaders practical tools to respond before employees reach a breaking point.

I offer one-on-one therapy for adults experiecing relational trauma, attachment wounds, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. My work focuses on the impact of loss, emotional abuse, chronic relational stress, identity erosion, and the long-term effects of feeling unseen or unsafe in relationships.
Trauma and loss affects the nervous system and shape how you trust, build relationships, and deal with general life challenges.
Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to understand those patterns, rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and make sense of what you are carrying. Sessions are available in person in Victoria, BC, or online.

I facilitate small therapy groups centered on grief, attachment, and emotional trauma for adults who want to process loss and relational strain in the presence of others who understand its weight.
Some groups focus on:
-
Rebuilding after divorce and major relationship changes
-
Relational trauma and attachment wounds
-
Anticipatory grief related to aging parents or partners, pets, and changes in health
Grief and trauma can feel isolating. In an intimate, structured group setting, it does not have to be carried alone.
