Julie Giroux is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Psychotherapist practicing in Victoria, BC, with her office located at 627 Brookside Rd in the Colwood area of Greater Victoria. She works with adults who are navigating some of life's more difficult stretches, including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, insomnia, and stress that feels hard to shake.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed therapies. EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is one of the methods she uses to help people process distressing memories and experiences that may still be affecting daily life. She also offers Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented approach that pays attention to how stress and trauma can live in the nervous system, not just in our thoughts. Together, these methods give her the flexibility to meet each person where they are rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you have been putting off reaching out because you are not sure therapy is right for you, that hesitation is completely normal. Many people come in feeling uncertain, maybe carrying something for years without quite naming it. Whether it is waking up at 3 a.m. with a racing mind or struggling to feel settled after a difficult period, these are exactly the kinds of concerns Julie works with in her clinical counselling practice.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Julie is a member of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, which means she meets professional training and ethical standards recognized across the province. This can matter when you are looking for a qualified mental health practitioner and want to feel confident about the care you are receiving.

Her Victoria practice is accessible to residents across the region, including those coming from Langford, Colwood, and surrounding communities on the Westshore. Booking an appointment typically starts with a visit to her website at juliegiroux.ca, where you can learn more about her background and services and take the first step toward getting support. Reaching out is often the hardest part, and having a clear, practical starting point can make that easier.
