A BIT ABOUT ME
Sam Leung
I am a compassionate, authentic, and empathetic counsellor providing women’s mental health counselling in Nanaimo, BC and virtually across British Columbia. I specialize in supporting women throughout all stages of motherhood, including pregnancy, postpartum, and the ongoing transitions of motherhood.
I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach to counselling is grounded in walking alongside clients through both life’s most difficult moments and its most meaningful transitions.
I believe every person has a story worth sharing, and that genuine listening can create space for growth, healing, and change. While our past experiences can shape us, they do not have to define who we become. With the right support, connection, and safe therapeutic relationship, meaningful change is possible.
My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive counselling environment where you can breathe, process, heal, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and lasting wellness.
I specialize in women’s mental health, perinatal mental health, postpartum support, anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, grief, and emotional overwhelm. My passion for supporting mothers and women grew from my own lived experience navigating motherhood during the pandemic.
Becoming a mother transformed my understanding of mental health, identity, burnout, and the importance of compassionate support during pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

As a mother of two young children, I understand how overwhelming and isolating life can sometimes feel. I strive to offer counselling that is genuine, collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centred.
When I am not working as a counsellor, you can often find me spending time in nature on Vancouver Island, especially near the ocean, reading fiction novels, continuing my professional education, lifting weights, spending time with my family, or enjoying reality television.
If you are looking for counselling in Nanaimo, BC or virtual therapy anywhere in British Columbia, I would be honoured to support you on your healing journey.
