ABOUT

How can I help?

Hello, I'm Chad Yurich, a Relational Somatic Therapist and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. My training focuses on a psycho-biological approach to counseling, which means I view the body and nervous system as repositories of our life experiences, both past and present. Somatic Therapy encourages us to mindfully observe our inner world, allowing us to listen to our bodies and understand how they and our minds can address our patterns and traumas.

​

My mission is to help clients rebuild trust and love for themselves in a safe, healing environment where all aspects of the client are embraced. Together, we can transform old narratives and foster new beginnings. Client health and safety are my top priorities, and I support their journey at their own pace to cultivate more ease, peace, and joy in their lives.

​

I hold an undergraduate degree and a Master's in Science, along with a two-year program in Relational Somatic Therapy, and I am certified by the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists.

ABOUT ME

Life is fascinating; had my wife not been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 14 years ago, I not be a counsellor today. Her healing journey has introduced me to a new perspective on life, for which I am truly grateful. As a compassionate and heart-centered counsellor, I am passionate about supporting clients on their unique life paths.

EXPERIENCE & METHODOLOGY
EDUCATION
  • Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2006,  MES

  • Lakehead University, 2001, HBES

  • Opening to Grace, 2019, Relational Somatic Therapy

  • Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC): 2402

I bring six years of counseling experience to every session. Currently, I run a private practice and collaborate with the Sunshine Coast Health Centre, where I conduct workshops and assist individual clients dealing with addiction and trauma.

My primary approach is Somatic Therapy, a psycho-biological model that views the body as a repository of our life experiences. By observing and supporting the body, we can create opportunities for transformation, healing, and growth. Techniques such as breath work, internal family systems, mentorship, and insights from the natural world are integrated into sessions as needed.

My knowledge is ever-evolving; I am continually reading, training, and learning from my peers. My curiosity knows no bounds!
