Burnout Therapy &
Career Counselling
for Professionals in
Vancouver & Squamish
Online therapy and career counselling
for professionals across BC.
Support for professionals who feel depleted, stuck, or uncertain about their work.
I help you understand what is driving the difficulty, make clearer decisions,
and build a path forward that is realistic and sustainable.
Who This Work Is For
Most people who reach out are not sure which kind of help they need. They know something has shifted — work feels heavier, decisions feel harder, and the strategies that used to work are no longer enough. Some are seriously considering leaving their job or their field. Others are not thinking about career change at all, but are running low on the capacity to keep going at the pace they have been.
These are not always separate problems. Burnout changes how you think about your career. Career misalignment compounds stress. When both are present, addressing only one rarely resolves the other.
This is where the work begins.
Why Work and Mental Health Belong Together
Most adults do not experience work and life as separate domains. When pressure builds at work, it affects how you think, respond, and relate to others. When something feels unsettled internally, it influences how you lead, perform, and make decisions.
Sustained output with limited recovery time is a feature of many professional environments, not an exception. Over time, stress becomes normalized and harder to interrupt. You may notice reduced energy, slower thinking, irritability, or a drop in confidence -- even while continuing to function and meet expectations.
This is where work stress and mental health intersect.
My role is to help you understand what is actually driving the exhaustion, pressure, or uncertainty. That includes both internal patterns and external demands, and how they reinforce each other. From there, we focus on what will realistically move things forward.
The People I Work With
Many of the people I work with are in demanding roles — finance and accounting, law, healthcare, technology, and leadership and management positions. They are capable, analytically minded, and accustomed to functioning at a high level.
What brings them in is not a lack of skill or motivation. It is a growing recognition that the strain they are carrying is no longer resolving on its own, and that managing it alone is no longer a workable strategy.
You may be experiencing:
Exhaustion that persists despite time off
Constant pressure to perform with little room to recover
Anxiety that affects focus, sleep, or decision-making
Difficulty maintaining boundaries with work or with others
Uncertainty about whether to stay, shift roles, or make a larger change
A growing sense of disconnection from work that once felt meaningful
If this reflects where you are, you are in the right place.
My Approach
I offer therapy and career counselling as an integrated practice — not two services running in parallel, but a single process that addresses both your internal experience and your external situation.
Career counselling focuses on what is happening in your work life: what needs to shift, what decisions are actually in front of you, and what direction aligns with your strengths, values, and where you want to go.
Therapy addresses the patterns that make those questions harder to answer — how stress is processed, how your nervous system responds under sustained pressure, and how long-standing internal patterns affect your thinking, relationships, and daily functioning.
In practice we move between both as the work requires. Understanding why things feel the way they do and what will realistically move them forward are not separate conversations.
Many extended health plans in BC cover sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) or Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), including career counselling sessions. I do not bill insurance directly — after each session you receive a receipt to submit to your carrier for reimbursement according to your plan. See the FAQ for details.
What Clients Notice Over Time
You may come in still functioning — but at a cost that is no longer sustainable.
With consistent work, you may begin to notice:
More grounded, confident decision-making
Less pressure to overfunction or manage everything alone
Clearer boundaries with work and with others
A stronger sense of direction
More energy and presence, at work and outside it
Work that feels less consuming and more manageable
It is restoring capacity, reducing unnecessary strain, and making choices that hold up over time.
Hello, I'm Erica Nye.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Canadian Certified Counsellor with more than ten years of experience working with adults across BC.
My practice focuses specifically on professionals in high-responsibility roles — the intersection of clinical mental health work and the demands of sustained, high-stakes professional life. Most of the people I work with are not looking for general wellness support. They want someone who understands the environment they are operating in and can work with both the psychological and professional dimensions of what they are navigating.
My approach is direct and practical. We focus on what is actually driving the difficulty and what will realistically move things forward.
