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 (yes, even the ones you forget you have) 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.
All things ADHD:
Where ever you are in your ADHD journey - wondering if you have ADHD, have received a diagnosis, are navigating a late diagnosis - there’s space for you here. With a lot of knowledge especially around how ADHD presents in women and the intersection between Creativity and ADHD, my approach is neuro-affirming - and as a fellow person navigating ADHD and a late diagnosis, my approach is deeply compassionate and non-judgmental. Therapy can be a great space to make sense of your world, find new, supportive ways to approach tasks, and build tools to help you thrive in constructive, empathetic ways that work for you.
Stress, Anxiety, Creativity/Creative Burnout, Self-Worth & Self-Esteem
How do you navigate self compassion when the body says no? Including, but not limited to reconnecting to the creative heartbeat, stress, setting and celebrating boundaries and more. Whether you’re working as a creative, exploring creativity as a hobby/outlet, or need support around stress, goal-setting and growth in general, you’re welcome here.
Therapy is a great way to explore the Self and dive deeper into what being you means.
Journeying alongside grief - Death, Loss, Pet Loss, and Supporting the Supports:
Grief can be complex and deeply individual - I can walk alongside you where ever you are in your journey.
At this time, I offer counselling for adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, self-worth & self-esteem, using therapies such as narrative, collaborative, and creative exploration.
