What do we do?
Our group counselling service is grounded in the belief that healing happens in connection with ourselves, others, and in community.
Facilitated by registered clinical counsellor Irene Cordero, these groups provide a compassionate and structured space where participants explore personal experiences, build mutual understanding, and strengthen their sense of belonging.
Drawing from social models of well-being and trauma-informed, disability-affirming practices, Brave Sinergy’s groups encourage participants to recognize both their inner strengths and the systemic factors that shape their lives.
What types of groups do we offer?
Whether through women’s circles, neurodiversity-affirming groups, disability justice, or collective healing spaces, Irene’s facilitation promotes dialogue, empathy, and empowerment.
With a culturally grounded, anti-oppressive focus, neurodiversity-affirming social justice, and trauma-informed practice, group counselling at Brave Sinergy helps people build emotional resilience, self-understanding, and a sense of belonging—reminding us that healing is not a solitary path, but a shared journey.
We offer online and in-person groups.

- Women's Circles—"Cedar Sisters Circle for Tseshaht First Nation."
