Esther Jaang

Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #20413)

My purpose is to support our journeys through growth and healing, towards an unshakable connection with the fullness of who we are. As we create from this place, we can transform our lives, our relationships, and our world.

At Greater Web Counselling, this purpose is expressed through my practice as a Clinical Counsellor. To learn more about my approach, please browse through the home page here.

In addition to counselling, my broader vision is also expressed in my work as a Leadership Development Coach, Consultant & Facilitator. For more information, please visit www.estherjaang.ca.

  • I share aspects of my social identities because these points of connection can be an important part of building trust. My intention is to honour both the lived reality of diverse social identities, and the shared humanity that connects us all.

    Ethnocultural: Born in Canada to Korean parents, I carry both identities.

    Languages: I offer counselling in English. Korean was my first language and the primary language in my home growing up. I also spoke Spanish in the past, though it's been many years since I last practiced.

    Religion: I am not part of a religious community but I experience spirituality as a core aspect of my life. I grew up in a Christian environment and am familiar with its wisdom, values, and traditions.

    Family: I’m a proud toddler mama, wife, and caregiver to our awesome kitty cat.
