Edward En-Heng Ng is a Registered Psychologist in private practice in Vancouver. Prior to becoming a psychologist, Ed was a high school science teacher for 5 years in Vancouver and Hong Kong, and then, after attending Regent College (MDiv 2008), he pastored in a small congregation for another 4 years. After realizing that his theological studies did not suitably equip him for working with people, he enrolled at Fuller Theological Seminary’s Graduate School of Psychology (Pasadena, CA), from which he graduated with a Doctor of Psychology degree in 2016.

During his doctoral studies, Ed was introduced by his academic advisor Al Dueck to the field of cultural psychology, which focuses on how people groups tend to speak of themselves instead of relying on Western psychology to describe them. Ed’s enduring academic interest since then has centered around critical psychology and the applications of cultural psychology and relational psychoanalysis to clinical or counselling contexts.

Ed has taught at Trinity Western University and Regent College in the areas of diversity and counselling. He is also the founder of the Eastgate Project and hosts its podcast, which focuses on the intersections of psychology, theology, and the experiences of the Asian diaspora. Ed lives in Richmond, BC, with his wife and two sons.... Read More

Bernadette is a registered clinical counsellor who earned her Master of Counselling degree from Gonzaga University. Prior to becoming a counsellor, she spent more than a decade as a communications professional, project manager, and copywriter. The significant overlap between communications and counselling skills allows her to meld language, metaphor, humour, and imagery with openness, curiosity, deep listening, and the ability to hold space for whatever needs to be held.

Bernadette’s counselling orientation is greatly influenced by the philosophies of Carl Jung as well as existential-humanistic, feminist, and person-centered modalities. Her continuing education includes coursework in narrative therapy, focusing, trauma work, and dreamwork. She also brings a strong cultural lens and focus to her work.

Her years-long, ongoing commitment to inner exploration as a counselling client has been her greatest teacher on suffering, individuation, the therapeutic relationship, and the essentialness of connection, joy, and gratitude through it all.

Bernadette’s counselling inspiration: “We are not here to fit in, be well balanced, or provide exempla for others. We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being. As the gods intended, we are here to become more and more ourselves.” – James Hollis, Jungian analyst ... Read More
