Clinical Counselling Victoria, BC

Andrea Ting Luz is a Counsellor-In-Training, currently completing a Master's in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University, with an expected graduation in the summer of 2026.

She is currently fulfilling her practicum requirements in preparation for accreditation as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) through the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).

Her approach to counselling is an inclusive, empowering, and embodied integration of therapeutic skills and insights to ignite adults to uncover your values, clarify and communicate your emotional needs, develop body-based awareness and practices to self-regulate, navigate moments of grief and acceptance, and take committed action to live according to your values and your purpose.

Andrea provides counselling services to individuals under the supervision of BCACC members Frances Kinloch, RCC and Stefanie Krasnow, RCC. During her practicum she is offering reduced rates, which can be reimbursed for extended medical benefits under Frances Kinloch's BCACC licence (#18619).

Val Lange (RCC) is a somatic and arts-based therapist. She offers a grounded, embodied container to support you to slow down, turn inwards, and tend to what is alive and present with mindfulness, curiosity and compassion.

Val Lange (she/they) is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), expressive arts therapist, biodynamic craniosacral therapist, wholistic bodyworker, and aerial yoga teacher.

I have an M.A. in Expressive Arts Therapy and Psychology, and additional training in Hakomi Method and focusing-based somatic therapy. Sessions are a woven tapestry of somatic embodied awareness, mindfulness tools, parts work, internal family systems, family constellations and expressive arts therapy.

I have had the privilege of holding safe space for healing and trauma recovery across a variety of community agencies. I have worked with marginalized populations in addictions recovery, with survivors of intimate partner violence, and with new moms living below the poverty line in Vancouver's downtown eastside.

I am deeply appreciative of the spiritual teachers which have influenced my path. I have spent time in Buddhist Tibetan monasteries, vipassana centres and with plant medicines and Indigenous knowledge keepers.

I am a queer settler committed to supporting bodies of all genders and orientations. I divide my time between Victoria BC and Cortes Island BC. For more information please see vallangercc.com

Therapy with me offers a space to slow down and explore your inner world with curiosity and care. I work collaboratively, moving at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you, where we can begin to make sense of what is happening beneath the surface. I work from an attachment-based, relational psychodynamic perspective, paying close attention to the ways your past experiences, relationships, and inner world shape how you move through life today.

Together, we listen carefully to your thoughts, your emotions, and your body, so that parts of you that may feel hidden, overwhelming, or difficult to access can begin to come into clearer focus — going deeper than the story of what happened. Over time, this process can support a deeper sense of understanding, self-acceptance, and a more integrated relationship with yourself.

I value authenticity, curiosity, and genuine human connection in the therapy room. My approach is warm, reflective, collaborative, and lightened with some humour along the way, with space for both emotional depth and uncertainty. Therapy with me is less about quick fixes and more about developing understanding, safety, and a deeper relationship with yourself over time.

My main areas of focus include helping individuals recover from childhood bullying and relational trauma; navigating identity and neurodiversity; adjusting to life as newcomers to Canada; exploring emotions and internal experiences; deepening spiritual understanding; addressing internet-based addictions; and working through anxiety, panic attacks, and dissociation.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University (2025) and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Hull. My clinical training includes Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), including Level 1 training. My work is informed by both formal training and lived experience, particularly my own experiences of navigating change, neurodiversity, identity, and belonging across cultures and countries.

Outside of my work, I enjoy practicing martial arts and yoga, reading, exploring hiking trails, and cooking. I also have a deep appreciation for animals — especially dogs and goats.
