Welcome!

Healing and growth unfold in cycles, much like the natural world around us. Inspired by Nanaimo’s forests, ocean, waterfalls, and the timeless spiral of the ammonite shell, my practice offers a safe and compassionate space to explore life’s challenges, reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and find your way forward with greater strength, balance, and self-connection.

A Little About Me

Hi, I am Shante van Horlick

My journey into counselling grew from a lifelong desire to understand and help others. I come from a family of healers, and supporting people has always felt like a natural part of who I am. My path first took me through music and opera, where I spent many years exploring the depth of human emotion, expression, and connection.

Opera gave me a unique window into human nature—the stories we carry, the ways we experience love and loss, the impact of trauma, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. Through singing and teaching, I came to see how powerful it can be to feel heard, expressed, and truly understood.

Counselling became a natural way for me to bring my experiances and passions together. Today, I feel privileged to support people as they navigate their own stories, reconnect with themselves, and discover their capacity for healing and growth.
