Lorelei Wey (she/her)
I journeyed to the field of counselling as a second career after working for 16 in years in healthcare as a neurodiagnostic technologist in a busy hospital setting. As much as I loved my previous career, I felt a need to re-evaluate my career during the global pandemic. During that time I completed a Master of Counselling degree at City University of Seattle. I also hold a Bachelor of Science from the University of British Columbia in Biochemistry. I believe my unique experience of working in healthcare gives me an additional lens when working with clients.
​
When working with clients I use a trauma informed, client centered and strength based approach. I hold additional trainings in
​
-
​Sanyas Indigenous Cultural Training​
-
Mindfulness Certification Course
-
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) Training
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)​
Areas of Interest
I have a special interest in helping people and their caregivers who live with chronic health conditions and in particular neurological conditions​. This may involve living with societal stigma, finding meaning in day to day life, or caregiver burnout - just to name a few.
​
My capstone project for my Masters of Counselling degree was on the myriad of complexities of living with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures - click here to read it.
Outside of Work
​
I am a running enthusiast and have competed in 6 marathons. I also compete regularly in half marathons and other distances. In addition I also enjoy swimming, hiking, and cycling - when I get the chance.
​
I can also be found spending time with my husband, two young boys, and two dogs.
