Katelyn Bonetti

MC, RCC

As someone who has struggled with overwhelming emotions, self-esteem and anxiety in the past, I know that change happens when we are in the presence of empathetic and emotionally present other. I care a lot about making you feel comfortable, safe, and connected with me as we work together. I prioritize showing up authentically so you can feel free to do the same. 

I base my approach on evidence-based, trauma-informed, and emotion-centred practice. My therapeutic orientation is Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), incorporating concepts from mindfulness-based, body-based, and internal parts work theories. Within us exists a whole host of feelings, sensations, and wisdom. Sometimes our inability to feel our feelings means our bodies have to scream in order to get some attention. As a result, we may find ourselves feeling disconnected and experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression. Much of our work together will be about slowing down to notice and experience emotions in a new and corrective way. I also believe that understanding the context in which harm has occurred (familial, cultural, societal, etc.) is a necessary step towards true healing and transformation. 

We may be good fit if you:

-are unable to access, manage or understand your emotions

-are open to explore some things from your past in a safe and contained way

-feel stuck in patterns or cycles that aren’t serving you or the relationships in your life

-feel disconnected from your sense of self and desire more meaning and authenticity

I hold a degree in Master of Counselling from City University in Vancouver and I am in good standing as Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I have specialized training in trauma and AEDP therapy.

  • I grew up in Ontario, came out west early in my career, and have called BC home ever since. Mountains are one place I feel at peace and evoke a deep appreciation in me for the beauty of this world. When I’m not spending time outdoors with family, I’m probably reading, watching a show or enjoying food at a restaurant.

    I have always had a deep curiosity towards people and a desire to discuss what is real— even if it’s painful or hard. I think this is what led me into the counselling profession. Walking alongside another human to witness their deepest joys and sorrows is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I am honoured each time an individual chooses to develop a trusted relationship with me.
