Why Burnout Doesn’t Go Away After Resting
April 19, 2026
Counselling in Vancouver and online across BC for Asian, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities navigating relationships, identity, and life transitions.
You’ll find a safe, inclusive space — especially for BIPOC, Asian immigrant, and queer or questioning folx. A space where you don’t have to explain everything — and can finally make sense of what you’re feeling.
Our work is grounded in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and attachment-based approach, and shaped around your unique experiences and values.
Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe, exploring your strengths and supporting you in reconnecting with yourself and your relationships.
Meet Jenny
Hi, I’m Jenny Hsuan Fang Hsu — a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Vancouver.
I offer counselling in English and Mandarin for individuals, partners, and families, with a focus on culturally sensitive and LGBTQ+ affirming care.
Many of the people I work with feel caught between different expectations — between family and self, culture and identity, or what they should do and what actually feels right.
You might be feeling stuck in the same patterns, disconnected in your relationships, or unsure how to move forward.
As a queer, BIPOC therapist and immigrant from Taiwan, I understand how these tensions can feel — not just intellectually, but personally.
In our work together, we slow things down and make sense of what’s underneath — so you can understand your emotions, shift patterns, and feel more like yourself again.
A space to slow down and reconnect
You may feel frustrated or stuck when interacting with the people who matter most. Maybe it feels hard to express your true needs, and you find yourself caught in repeating patterns that leave you feeling disconnected.
You might feel sensitive to rejection, unsure how to show your emotions, or tired from trying to keep everything together for other people.
Or maybe you simply need a space to slow down, reflect, gain new perspectives, and better understand yourself, your relationships, and your life.
Emotions shape how we react, protect ourselves, reach for connection, and make sense of our relationships. When emotions feel overwhelming, hard to express, or pushed aside for too long, it can become harder to feel close to yourself and the people you care about.
For BIPOC, queer, immigrant, and culturally marginalized folx, these experiences can feel even more layered. You may have learned to stay quiet, explain yourself too much, or hide parts of who you are just to feel safe, accepted, or understood.
Counselling can be a place to explore your emotions without judgment, heal past hurts, and understand the deeper patterns shaping how you relate to yourself and others.
Featured Workshop
A Mandarin workshop on how anxiety, withdrawal, conflict, and emotional distance can become protective patterns in relationships.
Recorded in Mandarin · Helpful for relationship, couples, and family counselling conversations
I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and use EFT as a central part of my work with individuals, partners, couples, and families.
In relationships, one person may reach for reassurance, closeness, or answers, while another may withdraw, shut down, or create distance when things feel too much. These responses are often not about someone being “the problem.” They are protective patterns.
When both people are protecting themselves in different ways, the relationship can get caught in a painful cycle. EFT helps slow this cycle down so each person can better understand what is happening underneath the conflict.
Slow down conflict, understand emotional patterns, and rebuild connection.
Understand your emotions, needs, relationship patterns, and protective responses.
Make space for culture, attachment, communication, and healing past hurts.
I offer culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming counselling in English and Mandarin, in person in Vancouver and online across BC.
What therapy can feel like
You don’t need to explain everything.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Counselling with me is more than being listened to. I hold space for what you are carrying, while also helping you gently open up new perspectives, understand emotional and relationship patterns, and move toward growth at a pace that feels right for you.
Feel understood without being judged, rushed, or dismissed.
Open up new perspectives on what has been feeling stuck or painful.
Understand emotional and relationship patterns with more clarity.
Explore culture, identity, family, and relationships with care.
Move toward growth and change at your own pace.
ICBC Counselling
If you have an active ICBC claim, you may be eligible for 12 counselling sessions with no out-of-pocket cost.
After an accident, you may feel tense, nervous while driving, easily startled, or unable to fully relax.
You might replay what happened, avoid certain situations, or feel like you are not quite yourself.
Counselling can support stress, fear, emotional overwhelm, and your sense of steadiness after the accident.
Individual Counselling
You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning counselling. You may simply know that something feels heavy, confusing, or hard to carry alone.
Support for feeling anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unable to fully relax.
Space to explore relationship patterns, dating, breakups, family expectations, conflict, or emotional distance.
Support through loss, transition, cultural identity, gender or sexual identity exploration, and finding your way back to yourself.
If something here feels like you, that’s a good place to start.
Relationship Counselling
Relationship counselling in Vancouver can help partners slow down conflict, understand what is happening underneath, and begin to reconnect with more clarity and care.
You may both be trying, but still end up in the same painful conversations, misunderstandings, or emotional distance.
Counselling can help you slow the pattern down, understand what each person is longing for, and find new ways to reach each other.
We can make space for the deeper layers — including family expectations, in-law stress, trust, distance, or old wounds.
My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), helping partners understand emotional patterns and build a more secure connection.

Family Counselling
Family counselling can help families slow down difficult conversations, understand each other more clearly, and begin to reconnect with more safety and care.
You may care about each other, but still end up in frustration, silence, or the same painful misunderstandings.
Counselling can help create space for different generations to feel heard, understood, and less alone in the relationship.
We can make room for cultural differences, family expectations, coming out, identity, and the need for safety in difficult conversations.
Grounded in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).
