About Us
KERRY PLATT
Welcome
I am so glad you are here!
My name is Kerry. I am a trained and accredited Therapist residing in Vancouver, British Columbia, although I have clients from all over Canada so don’t let a little geography stop you.
I am deeply passionate about helping people to find their inner light, turn it on and have it shine so bright that it warms the people around them. I bring curiosity, candor, sometimes laughter and a nurturing heart to my sessions. Trust and Connection between us is vitally important to me.
I am a recovering people pleaser/over functioner who’s nervous system was always in a primed state to help, serve and support others. I was drained and feeling disillusioned. I was filing in the gaps for eveybody elses lives but not filling my own cup. I read a brilliant book ‘The body keeps score’ by Bessel Van Der Kolk which highlights the importance of top-down and bottom up approach to therapy and how the body is the vault of stuck emotions and behaviour and I began a journey back to myself. After experiencing my own Somatic sessions and feeling the change in my emotions and how my nervous system began to react differently after Somatic therapy, I knew I had to learn everything I could about Somatic healing and introduce it into my sessions.I was already a therapist and I continued my training as a Integrated Somatic Trauma Therapist. It was powerful and revolutionary for me and I wanted to share it with my clients.
I gear my sessions towards an understanding of the mind/body connection. Using a combination of Body Mindfulness, Breathwork and Visualizations to move clients through emotions into greater awareness.
All therapy is a wonderful act of self-love and I applaud you for taking these first steps.

Hello!
It’s so great to see you here
My name is Ferzana, and I have a Bachelors degree in Sociology and Anthropology from Simon Fraser University and Diploma in Transpersonal Counselling Psychology. I am a licensed Psychotherapist in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.
Here’s a little about me: I am extremely invested in supporting individuals feel comfortable in their own skin. Feeling safe and connected, is, in my opinion a basic human necessity if we’re going to get all we want from life to thrive. So, my goal is to ensure you reach your goals by providing gentleness, warmth, compassion, curiosity, and a sprinkle of humour. I am dedicated in being truthful with you and working with you at your pace. My intention is to honor your experiences and history and hold space for you where I can truly see you in a safe, non-judgemental environment. I hope to support you in your personal journey of discovery and healing as well as celebrating your unique gifts.
I am extensively trained in Mental Health, Addictions and Somatic Embodiment, I have the understanding to support you where you are and focus on your strengths. I can offer you tools that will foster mind and body connections as well as undo the sense of aloneness through breathwork and visualizations. My personal journey has made use of many of these same tools, and I am confident they will help you too.
By being here, you’ve already taken the first, and likely the scariest step in becoming your best self – take comfort in that fact, and sure, be a little proud of yourself too!
