The Shanti Counselling Centre welcomes Letty Mills as a clinical associate. Letty was born and raised in Vancouver. She graduated with an M.A. in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia and is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, as well as a Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

Letty believes that human beings will naturally and automatically grow in positive ways, if they are provided with conditions that nurture and promote growth.  As a counsellor Letty offers deep empathy, genuine acceptance, and sincere caring to her clients.  Revealing her own humanity, using humour along the way, she helps her clients to engage in meaningful self-exploration.  She sees herself as a fellow traveler, walking along side her clients for a time, and facilitating the discovery of their inner strengths, values, creativity, and courage.

In her spare time, Letty can be found attending arts & culture events, singing, golfing, gardening, and enjoying time with friends and family.
