About
Julia Yu M.Ed., M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist (R.P.)
Welcome to Inner Blooming Counselling & Psychotherapy. My goal is to support you on a lifelong journey of self-compassion and self-discovery so you can flourish into the person you are.
Many of us come to therapy when things feel too big to cope with on our own. Though we may feel stuck, deep down, we believe in our capacity to live more abundantly. Our journey begins here: by trusting the inner knowing that lives within yourself. We’ll build a warm, caring relationship that can hold space for painful emotions and create a new narrative that will empower you to lead a more meaningful, authentic life.
My practice is rooted in the ideas of Carl Jung. Jung believed that problems arise when our path to individuation is blocked— when we become disconnected from ourselves and lose our sense of wholeness. Some of us have lived our entire lives never truly feeling whole or at home with ourselves. Therapy can help you come home to these lost parts of self.
I value and lift up the unique beliefs, cultures, lived experiences and ways of knowing that each person brings into therapy. My practice integrates relational, narrative, emotion-focused, and internal family systems therapy and is guided by my core values of acceptance, empathy, imagination, and faith.
Healing happens when we feel accepted for who we are. From there, we can start to live in a way that honours our past while growing into something new. I’m hopeful we’ll find new ways to reimagine the future together and I look forward to making meaning with you!
