Yui Nishikawa

EMDR Certified Therapist

Jericho Counselling

With more than 15 years of experience supporting children, youth, adults, and seniors affected by trauma, Yui has worked with clients in a variety of settings in Japan and Canada. Yui has a profound confidence in the ability of all people to access inner resources to find healing and growth.

With her background as a trauma counsellor, Yui has worked in various community and healthcare settings including Downtown Eastside working with women who were affected by intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and addiction issues. She also has training and experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, procrastination, perfectionism, life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and systematic oppression including racism and sexism. In addition to her clinical experiences, Yui has passion in advocacy and education and facilitated workshops on various topics including stress management and trauma-informed practice for communities, healthcare professionals, and educators in Japan and Canada.

Yui believes that clients are the experts in their own lives and walks alongside her clients as a collaborator. While ensuring a warm and caring environment, Yui helps to amplify their innate resiliency by integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (Level 1 certification), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDRIA Certified Therapist), and mindfulness techniques. In addition, Yui draws on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), multicultural counselling theory, attachment-based theory, and anti-oppression/feminist ideals.

Yui provides counselling in English and Japanese, and also speaks conversational Mandarin Chinese.
