Lucia Chuan, MA | Counsellor | Bilingual (English/Portuguese) | Anxiety, Couples & Parenting — North Vancouver and virtual counselling

Lucia Chuan is a bilingual Counsellor at Bach Counselling Group, working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, postpartum adjustment, parenting challenges, couples conflict, and the particular pressures of building a life through major transition. She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology with Honours and is currently completing her Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) designation.

Before entering the counselling field, Lucia spent four years running a wellness and personal development practice in São Paulo — working one-on-one with clients on goal-setting, identity, and navigating significant life transitions. Her subsequent move to Canada, combined with her work as a Certified Early Childhood Educator in North Vancouver, gave her a firsthand understanding of the experience she now works with clinically: managing multiple roles, adjusting to a new culture, and finding footing in a life that looks different from the one you planned.

Lucia’s clinical work has a particular focus on postpartum and maternal mental health, the relational adjustments that accompany new parenthood, and the anxiety and identity disruption that often accompany immigration and cultural transition. As a Brazilian immigrant and mother herself, she brings both professional training and lived understanding to this work.

Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Gottman Method principles within a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive framework. In couples work, she draws on the Gottman model to help partners identify negative cycles and build more connected communication.

Lucia sees clients at BCG’s North Vancouver office and offers online counselling throughout BC. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese.
