Trauma keeps the body braced long after the danger has passed.
Lighthouse Counselling is a trauma-focused practice in Vancouver and Burnaby. We help adults recover from PTSD, motor-vehicle-accident trauma, and anxiety — using EMDR, OEI, and Somatic Experiencing, paced to your nervous system and never rushed.

You may look fine on the outside. Inside, your system is still bracing.
Trauma can surface long after the event — as fear, shutdown, broken sleep, or a quiet sense that you are not yourself. None of it means you are broken.
workEvidence-informed
Focused methods, matched to your nervous system.
Different people process trauma differently. You do not need to choose a method beforehand — we help you find the right fit.
Not sure which fits? We’ll help you choose.

“You shouldn’t have to relive everything to heal. We begin where your system can begin — safety first, then the work, at a pace you set.”
Lighthouse Counselling was founded by Rob Miles, RCC, after years spent studying what actually helps people move through trauma rather than talk around it. The practice is built on focused trauma care, practical nervous-system work, and a trusted referral network across Vancouver and Burnaby.
