Tarryn Adam

Tarryn is a practicum student at Kelowna Trauma and Life Therapy, where she works with individuals and couples under the supervision of a Registered Clinical Counsellor. With half a decade of experience providing community mental health services, Tarryn brings both compassion and practical expertise to her counselling practice. Her work in diverse community settings has given her an appreciation for the many ways people navigate trauma, life transitions, systemic barriers, relationship struggles, and personal growth.

Tarryn is a student member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and is currently pursuing her Master of Clinical Counselling degree through City University in Canada, and has completed all her coursework towards this.

Tarryn’s counselling approach is grounded in safety and collaboration. She works to foster a secure therapeutic relationship where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. Her work is deeply relational and holistic, as she believes healing happens in relationship and involves the whole individual. Tarryn aims to create a non-judgmental space where healing and meaningful growth can unfold at each client’s own pace.

Her practice is trauma-informed, attachment-informed, and nervous-system informed, with an understanding that our challenges are shaped by both our inner worlds and the environments and situations we move through. Tarryn’s counselling is integrative and tailored to the unique needs of each individual or couple, drawing from a range of approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic approaches, and mindfulness-based practices.

Tarryn’s areas of focus include trauma, burnout, nervous system and emotional dysregulation, mind-body connection, stress management, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, sex and sexuality, and identity exploration.
