Rev Vivian Chan

Registered Psychotherapist

“25 years experience in helping clients to tackle emotions, relationships, drinking, gambling, sleeping, wt control, to Live a Happier Life.”

About Me

Drawing on 25 years of experience, I guide clients ready to tackle difficult emotions and relationship patterns. We also address specific challenges like drinking, gambling, sleep, or weight control. My approach offers practical guidance. Together, we make sense of current struggles and build steps towards a happier life. This supportive, focused work is ideal for those seeking clear, actionable change.

Approach

Work unfolds through focused, solution-minded conversations that turn insight into manageable steps. I see clients in Toronto and online, offering sessions in English, Cantonese or Mandarin, paced to suit adults, couples, elders and families. In sessions we map triggers, try small behavioural experiments around drinking, sleep, weight or relationship patterns, and weave in spiritual resources when that steadies progress. People who appreciate clear plans, steady encouragement and practical accountability tend to find this approach helpful.
