About me and ije

Léa Chung

Registered Clinical Counsellor | Canadian Certified Counsellor

MA Counselling Psychology, BSc Pharmacology and Therapeutics

Thank you for being here. I’m Léa (she/her), a first-generation Korean-Canadian, born in Korea and raised in Vancouver. I support individuals who are navigating life between cultures, carrying intergenerational stories, or feeling the quiet weight of not fully belonging.

The Korean word 이제 (ije) means "now" or "from now on." It reflects a belief that meaningful change begins in the present moment, not by erasing the past, but by meeting ourselves where we are, and taking steps toward where we want to go. At ije Counselling, I hope to offer a space for reflection, grounded in compassion, hope, and the possibilities that begin in the present moment.

My services

Individual Counselling
I offer virtual individual counselling sessions by phone or secure video, providing flexible and accessible care wherever you are.

ICBC Counselling
After a sudden car accident, it can take time to feel like yourself and return to your usual routine. Counselling support to help you navigate the emotional and everyday impacts of a motor vehicle accident. Direct billing to ICBC is available for eligible clients.

Counselling may be covered through your ICBC claim, with direct billing available for eligible clients.

Walk & Talk
Spending time outdoors can be grounding and soothing, a natural way to support your nervous system. For many, walking side by side in nature feels less intimidating than sitting across from someone in an office or speaking through a screen.

Frequently asked questions

Building mutual understanding and trust between the counsellor and the client is an important part of the counselling process.
Typically, individual counselling runs for at least 6–8 sessions, meeting once a week or every other week. Some clients choose to attend monthly sessions or schedule counselling on an as-needed basis.
I don’t offer direct billing at this time. However, I provide a receipt after each session by email, which includes my RCC (#27051) and CCC number (#11260049). You can submit this receipt to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
Many insurance providers in Canada recognize this credential for reimbursement. Since coverage can vary, I encourage you to check with your provider to confirm eligibility for sessions with a RCC/CCC.
Changes or cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment will incur the full session fee. We appreciate your understanding.
I provide in-person services subject to my personal schedule through walk & talk this time. I may not be the best fit for you if you have a strong preference for consistent in-person services.
I reserve a limited number of reduced-rate appointments for clients facing financial barriers and tailor fees according to insurance coverage.
