Since 2012 he has been honoured to support individuals as they explore and express their innate potential for healing and growth in the caring and nurturing environment provided by the Hospice Society. Trevor’s familiarity with Hospice work emerges from his mother who has volunteered with Hospice for 29 years in the community where he grew up.

Sophia Murray

Counsellor, MCP-AT, RCC

Sophia is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and Art Therapy.  She had first worked at Peace Arch Hospice Society as a student counsellor during her clinical practicum training.  Although she has experience and training in a variety of different therapeutic modalities, first and foremost, she believes in the importance and healing potential of human connection and feels it is an honour and a privilege to walk alongside the clients we serve during their grief recovery journey.  Sophia is grateful for the opportunity to return to Peace Arch Hospice Society, such a community-driven organization with an immensely caring and compassionate team.  In her free time, Sophia enjoys experimenting with different cooking concoctions and exploring a variety of arts and crafts projects as a form of self-care.  She also loves spending cozy time at home with her partner, Seth, and their cat, Frida Catlo (in homage to the trail-blazing painter, Frida Kahlo).

 

Brittany Borean

Counsellor

Brittany is thrilled to join the Peace Arch Hospice Society team as a practicum student completing her clinical internship. Prior to joining PAHS, for six years she had the honor of supporting grieving youth and young adults and is passionate about continuing to create spaces for exploring grief. She appreciates approaches rooted in exploring the stories and narratives that shape a person’s life, while also discovering and creating preferred ones. Additionally, she values body-based approaches that support the connection between the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical self. Beyond her passion for grief work, Brittany loves to rock-hound, bird-band, forest-bath, book-read, and beach-comb with her partner.

Leigh Kankewitt
Counsellor

Leigh is delighted to join the Peace Arch Hospice Society as a practicum student completing her clinical internship.  Leigh has extensive experience working with all ages in the field of mental health.  She also has a background in physical wellness and currently works as a massage practitioner while attending graduate school.  Leigh is passionate about providing empathy, care, and support in bereavement.  In her spare time, you can find Leigh working in her garden, spending time somewhere out in nature, or curled up at home with a good book or movie.
