이제 상담소

About me and ije

Thank you for being here. I truly recognize the courage it takes to start this process. I’m Léa (she/her), a first-generation Korean-Canadian, born in Korea and raised in Vancouver. I support individuals who are navigating life between cultures, carrying intergenerational stories, or feeling the quiet weight of not fully belonging.

The Korean word 이제 means "now" or "from now on." It reflects a belief that meaningful change begins in the present moment, not by erasing the past, but by meeting ourselves where we are and taking steps toward where we want to go. At Ije Counselling, I strive to create a space for reflection, healing, and forward movement, grounded in hope, compassion, and the possibilities that emerge when we engage with the here and now.

Honouring where you've been. Meeting you in the here and now.

My services

Individual Counselling
I offer virtual individual counselling sessions by phone or secure video, providing flexible and accessible care wherever you are.


Walk & Talk

Spending time outdoors can be grounding and soothing, a natural way to support your nervous system. For many, walking side by side in nature feels less intimidating than sitting across from someone in an office or speaking through a screen.


Coaching
Whether you're working toward a personal milestone or navigating a professional challenge, our coaching services are designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Frequently asked questions

  • Building mutual understanding and trust between the counsellor and the client is an important part of the counselling process.
    Typically, individual counselling runs for at least 6–8 sessions, meeting once a week or every other week. Some clients choose to attend monthly sessions or schedule counselling on an as-needed basis.

  • I don’t offer direct billing at this time. However, I provide a receipt after each session by email, which includes my RCC (#27051) and CCC number (#11260049). You can submit this receipt to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

    Many insurance providers in Canada recognize this credential for reimbursement. Since coverage can vary, I encourage you to check with your provider to confirm eligibility for sessions with a RCC/CCC.

  • Changes or cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment will incur the full session fee. We appreciate your understanding.

  • I provide in-person services subject to my personal schedule through walk & talk this time. I may not be the best fit for you if you have a strong preference for consistent in-person services.

  • I reserve a limited number of reduced-rate appointments for clients facing financial barriers and tailor fees according to insurance coverage.
