Squamish Book Club
We run a relaxed, drop-in bookclub from our downtown Squamish counselling clinic — designed to be easy to join, low-pressure, and genuinely enjoyable.
No pressure to finish the book.
No pressure to have the “right” thoughts.
No academic or intimidating vibes.
Read it, listen to the audiobook, skim a few chapters — whatever works for you.
Squamish Bookclub: Read, Reflect, Connect
What to Expect
.jpg)
Each month, we choose a different book based around a therapeutic or reflective theme. It’s not group therapy — but it is a space for slightly more meaningful conversation than your average bookclub.
Think:
-
A chance to reflect on ideas that might connect to your own life
-
Conversations that go a little deeper (if you want them to)
-
Meeting people who are curious about similar topics
-
A break from screens and day-to-day busyness
You’re always welcome to just listen, share a little, or dive right in — whatever feels comfortable.
A Low-Pressure Space
This is intentionally designed to feel relaxed and flexible:
-
Come to as many or as few sessions as you like
-
No commitment or ongoing sign-up
-
It’s okay if you didn’t finish (or start) the book
-
No expectation to speak if you’d rather just listen
Books and topic suggestions are always welcome — this is something we’re building with the community.
Important Note
While themes often connect to mental health, identity, or life experiences, this is not group therapy. It’s a space for conversation, reflection, and connection — not counselling.

The Outdoor Adventurer
Living for the next summit, ride, or backcountry challenge? Therapy helps make sense of the internal terrain that's present on every adventure, supporting you through future challenges.
The Homebody
Yes, you exist — even in Squamish! Not everyone's seeking adrenaline rushes. Your quiet, interior world is just as worth exploring.
Women in the In-Between
Not quite in your 20s anymore, but "middle-aged" doesn't fit either. We offer a feminist, life-stage-aware approach to reclaiming this rich (often under-supported) era. Health, hormones, menopause, and so much more.
The Expat
Straddling cultures, missing home, navigating a new normal — therapy can be a grounding space where you don't have to translate yourself. Whether you're bringing British dry humour or longing for a deeper connection, we get it.
Caregivers, Parents & Helping Professionals
Burnout, compassion fatigue, emotional labour — if you spend your life holding others up, it's okay to need space to be held too.
First Responders
You manage high-stress, trauma-exposed roles and still have a personal life to juggle. Therapy offers a confidential space to unpack both.
Entrepreneurs & Business Folks
High-pressure work, leadership stress, impostor syndrome — therapy helps navigate the emotional weight behind high-stakes decisions and carve out that elusive work/life balance.
The "Lost Soul"
Maybe you were the Peter Pan type — seasonal work, freedom, no fixed plans. Now you want more… but you're not sure what "more" looks like. We can work with that.
The Neurospicy Crew (ADHD, Autism & Beyond)
Fast brains, unique wiring, quirky strengths — we get it. We help you better understand your brain, build on your strengths, and explore how this fits with relationships, work, and wellbeing.
Men
We know therapy can feel unfamiliar. We offer a style that suits you — whether that's private space for deep emotional work, something more grounded and pragmatic, or support accessing emotions that aren't always easy to reach.
Queer, trans, non-binary, or questioning
Whether you're out, exploring, or somewhere in between, therapy can be a space where you don't have to explain the basics. Your identity isn't up for debate — just show up as you are, and we'll meet you with curiosity and care.
Living in a body that's disabled, chronically ill, or outside the thin ideal
Whether you're navigating access barriers, medical gaslighting, or trying to rest without guilt — your body isn't the problem. Therapy is a place to be heard, supported, and real — no fixing required.
Indigenous, First Nations, and Métis
We know therapy exists within systems shaped by colonialism. Our aim is to offer space rooted in respect — for your lived experience, your knowledge, and your definition of healing.
BIPOC folks in mostly white spaces
Code-switching, cultural load, intergenerational weight — it's exhausting. Therapy can be a space where you don't have to translate or shrink your experience to fit.
