About

Breaking lifelong patterns in thinking, behaviour, and nervous system response—across anxiety, relationships, and communication

Shelley Ugyan is a registered clinical counsellor (RRC), with advanced training in clinical hypnosis and schema-informed therapy and instructor with the BC Clinical Hypnosis Society. She has over 15 years of experience in mental and integrative health. Shelley serves clients online across British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and offers in-person sessions in Vancouver, BC.

Shelley works in a grounded, direct way, valuing honesty, clarity, and real change. She focuses on helping clients stay present with what’s happening so patterns can shift in real time—not just understood, but experienced.

Her evidence based tools including Cognitive Behavioural reconditioning as well as psychodynamic, relational and hypnosis approaches set you on a path to direct healing, starting immediately after the first 80 minute session. Her approach is genuine, empowering and powerful. Healing is probable, and happens as a result of conscious daily actions and unconscious dynamics that shift as a result of this process.
