Services
When you're struggling, you want help from someone you connect with - a therapist who gets you! Our unique approach takes you out of your head and into the world you live in, helping you get more from your valuable time, effort, and money. Traditional mainstream therapists focus on determining what is wrong with you in an attempt to resolve your problems.
Heart and Oak Therapy offers diverse counselling services in Victoria, BC. We help resolve issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loss, and life transitions. Outside their specialties, both Will Bratt and Laura Brown are strong generalist counsellors. This means they're equipped to help you with a broad range of challenges you might be experiencing.
It's not always clear why we feel anxious when we do, but when you take a careful look at the context around your anxiety with a counsellor, anxious feelings always make sense. Are your thoughts focused on a particular set of concerns, making it difficult to be present for other tasks and responsibilities?.
How would your relationship be different if you shared a deeper, more meaningful connection? Sometimes you and your partner may need outside support in strengthening your love, trust, and commitment to each other. Couples therapy allows you to work with someone who will respectfully listen to both you and your partner, helping you find new and better ways of relating to one another.
A traumatic experience is a profoundly overwhelming event that undermines your sense of safety, control, or dignity. Connecting with a counsellor who understands trauma can help you restore your sense of safety and wellbeing. Trauma therapy provides a space to make sense of these experiences and move toward healing.

I learned the hard — and expensive — way that I needed a strong therapeutic alliance with my therapist. I needed someone who was warm, reliable and within my price range, and the people I had seen up to that point were none of those things. When I met Laura Brown she was a breath of fresh air and I am so grateful for her advice and approach to wellness that has helped me grow personally and professionally over the past 2 years. Highly recommend Heart and Oak Therapy! I will continue to be a client of Laura’s for many years to come and cannot speak highly enough of her approach.

My first session with Laura was amazing. I felt totally at ease from the moment I walked in to that tiny home styled space.
She was so friendly and I was able to open to her right off the bat. Her insights and perspectives made me look at my issues in a much clearer light.
I feel that I'm on the right track and that much closer to finding that peace I've been looking for.

Working with Will was a turning point for me in a struggle with self-confidence and anxiety. He was very welcoming and has a profoundly calming and caring presence. Will really validated what I was going through. For me, it was a really confusing time in my life. I felt like I had no idea who I was. Will empowered me to realize that it was OK to shed an identity that wasn't me and start to embrace something else, a new me (the real me) with integrity. I would highly recommend Will to anyone.
