Ingrid Haagmans

MA, Msc and RCC

Let me tell you a bit more about myself. I live in the Comox Valley on beautiful Vancouver Island in BC. I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. Next to working with people privately, I have been working as a counsellor in international settings for the past 30 years, in 6 countries. I have extensive experience working with people who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, stress and loss.  Having lived in many different countries and worked with people of varied cultural backgrounds has helped me grow and has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be part of ongoing change. I use these experiences in working with youth, couples and families who are coming to terms with the transitions in life. Maybe you are relocating yourself, or there are new family dynamics, relationships or sexual/gender identities. Every change is a possibility for finding a new balance, one that allows you to evaluate your priorities and become a stronger you.

If you would like me to accompany you on your journey, then let’s meet for a free 15 minutes consultation.

What does counselling with me look like?

My approach to counselling is characterised by believing that the answers you are seeking are already hidden deeply in you. By asking the right questions, I can help you find them. You set the pace, and you decide the topics. Together we will work towards what it is that matters to you most in a safe and calm environment. My communication style can be characterised as motivational interviewing. I use evidence based approaches, such as Internal Family Systems and Rogerian therapy. I am also qualified to provide EMDR, a highly effective approach to address recent and past trauma, both single incident and complex.

I provide e-therapy via a safe platform. We sometimes may use a digital white board to explore connections and time lines in your life.
