Meet Jenya Draganova, RCC

Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC)

Hi, I’m Jenya. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I hold degrees in psychology, education, and counselling psychology, and I specialize in somatic therapy, attachment-based counselling, parts work, and inner child healing.

My Approach

My work focuses on helping high-functioning individuals and youth who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns. I bring a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed style that combines somatic therapy, attachment-based work, and parts work.

In our sessions, we pay attention to:


• How early attachment experiences continue to shape your current relationships
• The ways anxiety, withdrawal, or over-giving show up in your body during moments of closeness or conflict
• Protective and vulnerable parts of you—including the inner child—that influence how you connect
• How nervous system regulation creates the foundation for secure, authentic relationships

Every session is designed to help you not just understand your patterns, but also feel and practice new ways of relating in your body—so change can last.

My Journey

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in education for many years, often supporting the emotional and mental health of the young people and communities I served. Over time, I felt drawn toward deeper one-on-one healing work—and that’s what led me here.

On a personal note, I know what it’s like to feel stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift. It was attachment-focused work that supported my own healing, and that experience shapes the way I hold space—with care, presence, and deep respect for your process.
