Renée Bueckert is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Counselling and Vocational Rehabilitation from the University of British Columbia. She specializes in helping people recover from anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, ongoing physical symptoms, and post-concussion through a neuroplasticity-informed approach.
Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, Renée helps clients identify and retrain the patterns keeping the nervous system stuck in protection. She integrates Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness & Expression Therapy (EAET), EMDR, Somatic Approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), customizing treatment to each person’s unique needs.
Renée is known for creating a calm, compassionate environment where her clients feel deeply understood while building the confidence to return to the life that matters most.
Many people come to therapy after years of trying to hold everything together while feeling unseen, misunderstood, or shaped by what they’ve lived through. Simona offers a space where you don’t have to explain why it’s been so hard. Clients often tell her they leave sessions feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a clearer understanding of what is keeping them stuck and how healing can begin.
If you’ve been carrying the emotional weight of trauma, chronic illness, chronic pain, anxiety, or long-term stress, it can begin to affect every part of your life—your nervous system, your relationships, your emotions, and your sense of self.
Drawing on EMDR, alongside trauma-informed, somatic, mindfulness-based, and relational approaches, Simona works collaboratively with each person to create meaningful, lasting change. Her approach is warm, grounded, and compassionate, helping clients reconnect with themselves while developing greater emotional resilience and a more regulated nervous system.
Before entering private practice, Simona worked extensively with youth and young adults in school and community settings. She has also facilitated mindfulness and self-compassion workshops for over a decade, experiences that continue to shape the calm, attuned presence she brings to every session.
