If you seem high functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected internally, you are not alone.

I’m Erin Cullinane, MACP, RCC, a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver supporting adults and youth with anxiety, stress, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism, emotional regulation, and life transitions.

My approach to counselling is calm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. Together, we slow things down, understand the emotional patterns keeping you stuck, and build practical tools to support confidence, boundaries, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of self.

I offer in-person counselling in Vancouver and virtual counselling across British Columbia.

Fun Facts One of my favourite things is swimming in the ocean. I’m terrible at art, but I love doing paint-by-number kits because they make me feel artistic anyway. Being in nature helps me recharge, and birdsong is one of my favourite sounds. Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me near the water, exploring nature, or spending quiet time outdoors.

Fun Facts I used to work part-time as a freelance hair and makeup artist and grew up as a competitive dancer. I’m passionate about equality, compassion for all living beings, and caring for the environment. I recently picked up tennis and golf, which are both a love-hate relationship. Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me spending time with family, exploring hidden gems on the North Shore, or supporting interns and students becoming counsellors.
