Kate Swaney, RCC
Specializing in disordered eating, complex trauma, and relationships.

Compassion, empathy,
and just a little bit of laughter.

I'm Kate Swaney, MA, RCC and the owner of Soames Counselling.

I am an eating disorder therapist located in the Kitsilano / Fairview area of Vancouver, BC.

I offer in-person and virtual therapy for a variety of concerns including disordered eating (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, chronic dieting, orthorexia), body image, self-esteem and worth, perfectionism, and trauma.

I provide warmth, compassion, and evidence-based approaches to help you navigate the moments in life that make up the big picture.

Specialized Services

Disordered Eating
& Chronic Dieting

I specialize in disordered eating, and the complex relationships we often have with our bodies, food, and exercise.

Food and body issues can be tough to confront and you may feel nervous reaching out. I provide warmth and space to share your story.

Food, Body, & Exercise

Complex Trauma
Level I & II Certified

When events threaten our safety, we develop patterns and protections to survive. But these aren't always helpful later in life.

Counselling can help to unravel learned patterns from past traumas, and empower you with new ways to move forward.

Navigating C-PTSD

Relationships
& Separation

Partnering and separating can be some of the most impactful events in our lives.

Whether your relationship is just beginning, changing, or coming to an end, I provide empathetic and knowledgeable support for the transitions in your family's lives.
