Deirdre Morrison is a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student completing her practicum under clinical supervision. She was drawn to the counselling profession through her natural ability to connect with others, communicate with care, and create space for meaningful conversations. Her own experiences with family therapy as a child and individual counselling as an adult have also shaped her understanding of how valuable it can be to have a safe and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and less alone during difficult seasons of life.

Deirdre’s educational and professional experiences have strengthened her appreciation for the many different experiences people bring into the counselling room. During her undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia, she completed a practicum connected to a cultural sharing program at a community centre in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Her work focused on exploring how the centre could become more welcoming to Indigenous community members. Through conversations with community members, exposure to diverse cultural and language perspectives, and opportunities to learn from Elders, Deirdre developed a deeper appreciation for cultural humility, community connection, and creating spaces where people feel genuinely welcomed and respected.

Deirdre’s counselling style is warm, collaborative, client-centred, and trauma-informed. She is especially interested in supporting clients navigating anxiety, family and relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and emotional stress. She believes that clients already bring important strengths, knowledge, and resilience into therapy, even when those qualities may feel difficult to recognize.

Deirdre is particularly drawn to Solution-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through a solution-focused approach, she helps clients identify what is already working, recognize their strengths, and explore realistic steps toward the changes they would like to see. ACT offers another way of working with difficult thoughts and emotions, not by expecting them to simply disappear, but by helping clients respond to them differently, reconnect with what matters most to them, and take meaningful steps toward the life they want to build. She may also incorporate cognitive behavioural strategies when helpful, adapting her approach to each client rather than expecting one style of therapy to fit everyone.

Outside of her academic and professional life, Deirdre is family-oriented, active, and enjoys art, nature, and spending time with the people she loves. She values humour, authenticity, and the healing power of feeling connected to others. As an intern therapist, Deirdre hopes to offer a counselling space where clients can show up as they are, feel accepted without judgment, and have someone alongside them as they make sense of what they are experiencing and consider what they would like to change.
