Welcome - Failte

We acknowledge that the Awakening Heart Studio operates on the traditional territory of the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations.

We are glad you are here.

At Awakening Heart Counselling, we believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and feel a sense of wholeness as well as aliveness. At times you may feel overwhelmed, scared, anxious, depressed and a sense of ‘stuck-ness’ in your life, relationships, or specific situations. At other times you may feel inspired to explore new options in life and are seeking someone to support and guide you in this important next step of your journey.

We invite you to contact us and see if we might be the right therapist for you. Kim’s is not taking new clients at this time

From our clinic and studio space at 1005 Cook Street we provide therapeutic services for adults and couples of all genders and sexual orientations. We offer a variety of therapeutic modalities and will work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized therapy approach to best explore your specific concerns and hopes.
Through both in-person and virtual sessions, we offer:
- Clinical Supervision/Consultation with Kim O’Leary
- Individualized Therapy
- Couples & Relationship Counselling
- Personal Growth Workshops
If you are new to our clinic and would like to schedule a consultation with either of our practitioners, please reach out to us here.
Returning clients, please book with your practitioner below.

Our Approach

Through training and life experience, we have come to understand that it is equally as important to listen to the story of the body as it is to listen to the story of words. We embrace a gentle, honest, and curious attitude in our work with others and strive to create a space for safety, understanding, and compassion. We hold a deep respect for the inner wisdom and resources that reside within each person and value their own journey towards wholeness and an enhanced quality of life.
