JUDITH HRADSKY, RCC

Hello!

​

My name is Judith, and I am a Registered Clinical Councillor here in beautiful North Vancouver. I am also a late diagnosed AuDHDer and mother to three neurodivergent teens. My journey into counselling has taken me across several careers and two continents.

 

These experiences, my neurodiversity, and the experience of raising my children give me a unique lens on counselling and greatly shape my work.

​​

My roots are in (East) Germany, where I grew up and completed my first degree. This allows me to provide my services in English and German.

​

My first step towards becoming a counsellor was my work as a volunteer walking companion, which is still reflected in my Walk & Talk sessions. I was - and still am - actively engaged in my community, supporting neighbors and especially other parents on their journey.

​

I received my Master in Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and worked as an intern counsellor for a local non-profit agency during my practicum.

​

My counselling approach is client-centered, where I adjust the counselling process to each client's needs and goals. In my sessions, I use techniques from various approaches such as EMDR,  the Integrated Trauma and Attachment Model, Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness, and somatic approaches.

​

Counselling is an important part of my life and I enjoy continuing my education and adding to my portfolio. I am particularly interested in trauma work and working with neurodivergent clients, and am actively pursuing additional trainings in this area.
