NANNETTE HILL, MEd., RCC

I will never forget my first experience of really being listened to and heard.  It was such a powerful experience that I wanted to be a part of this for others.  Having a listening person can be really beneficial for working through life’s problems and accessing your inner wisdom.  

​

As a therapist it is important for me to be a compassionate and empathetic listener.  I provide an in-depth understanding of what is being conveyed to me.  I afford a sounding board for people to hear their thoughts in a new way and with guidance they begin to reframe the problem in a more positive and strength-based way.  In partnership I help people to make meaning out of their difficult experiences and have self-compassion while navigating through life.

​

I have worked in the counselling field for over 20 years and have a special interest in supporting people with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief and parenting.  During this time, I have worked in a number of settings including school districts working with children and youth, Elizabeth Fry Society working with teen mothers, Youth Center working with marginalized, unhoused youth, and private practice.   I am trained in a variety of techniques that can be tailored to create a unique mental health structure for healing. Life throws us many challenges and at times it can be difficult to navigate them on your own.  I work collaboratively with clients, to set goals for you to create the changes they strive for and desire in their life.

  

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my dogs, curling up with a good book, knitting, hiking, kayaking, listening to music and life long learning.

 

I graduated from UNBC and hold a Master of Education degree in Counselling. I am a member in good standing with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).
