Hello, my name is Wyatt (he/him), and I am a proud Indigenous person who was born and raised in northern B.C. My lived experience and self-exploration of my own identity have profoundly shaped my practice for the better.

I work with clients to create safe, relational spaces where you can grapple and struggle to make sense of life while a student at UNBC.

Hello! My name is Ali Kazemian, and I graduated from UNBC with a bachelor of science in psychology. I will be your first point of contact for Counselling Services. I help students book and manage appointments with our great counsellors.

Looking back upon my academic career it seems I could have benefited from counselling if I knew what counselling actually was. Back then, I viewed counselling centres as strange and sometimes serious places where clients wept and counsellors used words like ‘process’ and ‘journey’.
