Welcome,
I am currently welcoming new clients.
I'm Julie Thomason (she/her), Founder/CEO of BC Therapy Co., a local, BC-based, group practice specializing in counselling, sex therapy and clinical supervision. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Approved Clinical Supervisor with 9 years of experience, I create safe, inclusive spaces where people across British Columbia can heal, grow, connect, and thrive. We offer compassionate, trauma-informed, culturally aware, counselling and supervision in Chilliwack, B.C., and online all across British Columbia.
Who I Work With
I’m honoured to walk alongside women and gender-diverse, AFAB, individuals as they navigate life’s complexities. My practice is a safe, affirming space for people who are seeking growth, healing, or greater connection, no matter where you are on your journey.
Common concerns I support:
Women’s health, sexuality, intimacy & relationships
Trauma, abuse, neglect, PTSD/cPTSD
Mental health challenges (ADHD, anxiety & depression)
Experiences of domestic or relational abuse
Building and sustaining healthy relationships
Identity (gender, sexual orientation, culture, ability)
Life transitions, loss & grief
Clinical supervision for therapists
Any other issue you feel is holding you back from thriving
If you see yourself reflected in these descriptions, or if you simply feel called to explore something else, please reach out. Together we’ll create a collaborative, compassionate plan that honours your strengths and helps you feel supported every step of the way.
Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in genuine connection.I create a safe, trauma‑informed space where women feel seen, heard, and empowered, to explore their mental, emotional, and relational health.
I bring a grounded presence that blends integrative, evidence‑based approaches and advanced training in many areas including sex therapy with genuine care and curiosity.
Colleagues have described me as radically authentic, down‑to‑earth, and humorously candid. Together we’ll honor your strengths, heal past wounds, and rewrite a more fulfilling story. I’m passionate about this work and would love to start the conversation with you today.
