About Danielle
Here to walk alongside you — Registered Social Worker, Clinical Counsellor & Clinical Hypnotherapist
Registered
Social Worker
BCASW · Since 2006
Hi, I'm Danielle.
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the BC Association of Social Workers, a Clinical Counsellor, and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CHyp.), and the founder of Island of Hope Counselling Services. I have been providing psychological care to individuals in the Comox Valley and across British Columbia since 2011.
My passion is helping people heal from trauma, find meaning after loss, and discover the strengths they didn't know they had. I believe that every person carries within them the capacity for growth — even in the wake of the most painful experiences.
"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness."

"Here to walk alongside you."
My Approach
I work from a trauma-informed, person-centred foundation. This means I follow your lead — your pace, your priorities, your story. I draw on a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, somatic awareness, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, weaving them together in a way that fits you.
Safety first
Every session begins with creating a space where you feel genuinely safe to explore difficult material.
Your pace
Healing is not linear. We move at the speed that feels right for you — never pushed, never rushed.
Whole-person care
I see you as a whole person — not a diagnosis. Your strengths, your culture, your relationships all matter here.
Hope is real
I have witnessed profound transformation in people who once felt hopeless. Growth after trauma is possible — and I've seen it.

A Little About Me
I live and work on the beautiful unceded territory of the K'omoks First Nation on Vancouver Island, BC. When I'm not in session, you'll find me outdoors — hiking, exploring the coastline, or simply sitting with the ocean. Nature has always been a source of renewal for me, and I bring that spirit of grounded presence into my work.
