Healing Starts with Understanding—We’re Here for You 

At Tulua Therapy, we know how important it is to feel heard and understood in your native language. Working with a Cantonese therapist in Vancouver helps remove language barriers, allowing you to express your feelings clearly and connect more deeply during sessions.

Cantonese Counselling with a Personal Touch

Each person’s life story is different. That’s why our approach to counselling is based on your unique experiences. If you’re looking for a Cantonese counsellor in Vancouver, you’ll find support that feels comfortable and respectful of your cultural background. 

We focus on what matters most to you—your family, your values, and your goals. Our therapy helps you explore your thoughts in a way that feels natural, without needing to translate your emotions or explain your culture. We meet you where you are and help you grow at your own pace. 

What is Culturally Sensitive Counselling and Why Does It Matter?

Culturally sensitive counselling respects your identity. It understands the traditions, roles, and pressures you might face within your community. 
Many people from Cantonese-speaking backgrounds may feel they need to “keep things inside” or avoid talking about emotional struggles. But bottling up emotions can lead to stress, anxiety, or even physical health problems. 

Here are some common challenges our clients bring to counselling: 

  • Trouble balancing work and family expectations 
  • Feeling stuck or overwhelmed 
  • Conflict with parents, children, or partners 
  • Pressure to meet others’ standards
  • Difficulty adjusting to life changes 

Therapy helps you understand your emotions, find your voice, and make choices that reflect your true self.
