ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Sam Squire

As a counselor, my work is grounded in the belief that we all need someone to talk to. It is grounded in the belief that when we have a safe, judgement-free environment we can explore our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, which allows us to process emotions, heal trauma and become the most authentic version of ourselves.

My approach to counseling is grounded in values such as compassion, radical acceptance, trust, balance, mindfulness, play, fun and humour.

I am an Indigenous (Nakoda) counsellor and meditation guide. I currently support people through one-on-one therapeutic relationships and holding space for community in workshops and meditation, and retreats. 

My spiritual exploration and cultural reconnection have shaped how I relate to life and all of creation – with mindfulness, gratitude, and respect at the forefront. This has led me on a path of helping others reconnect with themselves, their sense of spirituality, and their relationship with Creator and all of creation. 

I was born and raised on Treaty One Territory, Winnipeg Manitoba, and I currently live on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations – Vancouver, British Columbia.
