Hi, I’m Raquel Nicolau, a trauma counsellor and nervous system educator dedicated to helping individuals heal from the inside out. I work and live in the beautiful Sea to Sky corridor, Squamish, BC.
With years of experience supporting clients through their deepest wounds, I’ve built a practice rooted in compassion, somatic awareness, and practical tools for long-term change. My work integrates trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to guide people back to themselves—gently, intentionally, and at their own pace.
Having walked through my own experiences of trauma—as well as a recent cancer diagnosis—I deeply understand what it means to sit with pain, uncertainty, and transformation. This personal journey allows me to meet my clients with authenticity, empathy, and a grounded sense of hope.
Credentials & Approach
- Registered Therapeutic Counsellor – RTC#3156
- Specialized training in trauma, somatic therapy, and nervous system regulation
