What We Can Work On Together
At Iroko Health, therapy is about understanding how you relate to yourself, others, and the situations you’re facing. Some people come in with specific goals. Others come in with a feeling that something’s off, even if they can’t name it yet.
We work with people navigating internal tension, emotional overwhelm, identity confusion, and relational patterns that no longer serve them. You don’t need a diagnosis or a breakdown to start therapy. Just curiosity, honesty, and the willingness to look a little deeper.
Here are some of the areas we explore in our therapeutic work
Anxiety and Stress Relief

Anxiety & Overthinking
.png){kind=icon}
Anxiety looks different to everyone - perhaps as a tireless idea that will not calm down, a body that remains stressed when you are safe, or constant, disgusting anxiety in the background of the day. Whether it is always present or comes in heavy waves, you do not need to do it alone.
Through anxiety counselling in Vancouver, we will help you:
• Understand how anxiety affects the thoughts, feelings, and body
• Learn practical CBT tools to break free from worry cycles
• Develop mindfulness techniques to regain calm
• Reduce the power of "what if" thinking
• Create strategies tailored to your unique anxiety patterns
By using evidence-based approaches, we will work together to help you feel more in control and become less overwhelmed by the grip of anxiety. You will not only develop skills to cope, but also to move in and beyond the harsh environment of Vancouver.
2.
Depression & Low Mood
That persistent feeling of emptiness isn't always clinical depression - yet something still feels fundamentally missing. You go through the motions of your Vancouver routine, but the color has drained from daily life. Motivation feels foreign, joy seems distant, and purpose remains just out of reach.
Through depression therapy in Vancouver, we gently help you:
• Reconnect with suppressed emotions and neglected parts of yourself
• Rediscover what truly matters beneath the numbness
• Rebuild your capacity for pleasure and engagement
• Develop tools to navigate low mood cycles
• Make meaningful changes in permanent speed
By using a kind, non-law approach, we will work together so you can help you find back. This is not about rapid reforms - it's about gradual, authentic aid for life.
3.
Self-Doubt & Confidence
To say that the sound of "you are not very good" can feel heavy, even when the evidence otherwise proves. Many competent Vancouver professionals struggle with self-confidence, holding them back from opportunities, asking them about their value, or playing them briefly.
In self-esteem counselling in Vancouver, we help you:
• Uncover where these critical inner voices originated
• Challenge old narratives that no longer serve you
• Develop authentic confidence that isn't tied to achievement
• Learn to trust your abilities and take up space unapologetically
• Continue through self-confidence without a doubt, without defining it
By using a kind, evidence-based approach, we will work together to change our relationship with us. You will learn that recognizing your value is not to earn anything - this is something to squeeze.
4.
Burnout & Perfectionism
Are you excelling on the surface but paying the price underneath? Many high achievers in Vancouver struggle with this paradox - pushing through each day while feeling chronically unsatisfied, exhausted, and never quite "good enough."
In our burnout therapy in Vancouver, we help you:
• Understand why your perfectionist patterns developed
• Recognize how these high standards may have once protected you
• Develop new ways to measure success that don't require exhaustion
• Learn to rest without guilt and find genuine satisfaction
It's not about doing less work - it's about working differently. Together, we will help you maintain your driving force, which creates permanent habits that support your goodness.
Therapy creates space to examine what "enough" really means - so you can finally feel it.
5.
Emotional Suppression
Do you feel like they are in the driver's seat? Whether you find yourself reacting intensely or stopping completely, these patterns can make you feel out of control at important moments.
Through emotionally focused therapy in Vancouver, we help you:
• Identify your unique emotional triggers and patterns
• Create space between feelings and reactions
• Develop tools to stay grounded during emotional waves
• Understand the protective purpose behind both reactivity and shutdown
• Build the ability to experience feelings without overwhelming them
By using body-aware and evidence-based approaches, we will work together to help you respond to the challenges of life with several options and confidence. You will learn to respect your feelings while maintaining control of how to express them.

Life Transitions & Identity Shifts
This cool feeling is that you beat the old self, which can be both exciting and unstable. Whether you are facing career displacements, changes in relationships, parents' deadly or more subtle identity, the infection often leaves the Vancouver feeling unique, even when the change is positive.
Through life transitions counselling in Vancouver, we provide:
• A supportive space to process uncertainty and rediscover yourself
• Tools to navigate the emotional layers of major life changes
• Clarity when old roles or identities no longer fit
• Strategies to handle the practical and psychological aspects of transition
• Support in aligning your external life with your evolving internal world
It's not about escaping through change, but moving through it with intent. Together we will help you bridge who you are and who you are.
7.
Relationships & Boundaries
Does your relationship feel dry or misunderstood? Many people in Vancouver are struggling with connection, either ignoring their needs or holding back to avoid conflict. Constant stress between closeness and self-protection can feel tiring.
In relationship counselling in Vancouver, we help you:
• Identify patterns that keep you stuck in unsatisfying dynamics
• Develop authentic ways to express needs and set boundaries
• Balance vulnerability with self-respect
• Transform people-pleasing into genuine connection
• Communicate in ways that promote intimacy without sacrificing yourself
With the help of practical equipment and good insight, we will find out how your relationship is blueprinted and how it is updated. You will learn to navigate in connections with more confidence and less anxiety - whether it is with partners, family, or friends.
