Victoria, BC Finding Passion, Purpose and Meaning Counselling Services
When you find purpose and meaning, it creates a guiding light that helps anchor you during life's transitions and hardships. A lack of purpose can masquerade as anxiety or depression—leaving you feeling unfulfilled and disconnected. Life’s transitions, whether the pressures of school, the challenges of starting a career, or the adjustments of marriage, can make it easy to lose sight of what truly ignites your spirit. Whether your passion lies in exercise, music and the arts, volunteering, connecting with nature, or building community, having an outlet that is uniquely yours is essential to feeling grounded and happy. When you reconnect with what matters most, your entire experience of life can shift, empowering you to be the person you want to be for yourself, your loved ones, and your community.
I'm Alan Rice, a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Victoria and Sooke, and I specialize in helping individuals reconnect with their inner drive and rediscover their true purpose. Through counselling, we'll explore your unique story, identify what lights you up, and develop practical strategies to integrate your passions into a fulfilling life.
How Do You Know If You’re Struggling with a Lack of Passion and Purpose?
You might notice that:
Daily activities and routines feel empty or unfulfilling, leaving you questioning your direction
You experience a disconnect from what once brought you joy or excitement
The pressures of school, work, or relationships make it hard to maintain a sense of your own identity
There’s a persistent feeling that something important is missing, even if you’re not sure what it is
If these experiences resonate with you, it may be time to explore what truly matters in your life.
How Therapy Can Help
Counselling offers a supportive space to reconnect with your inner drive and uncover what sparks your passion. I use evidence-based techniques—including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and narrative exploration—to help you:
✅ Clarify your core values and interests
✅ Identify and overcome obstacles that block your path
✅ Reignite the activities and connections that bring you joy
✅ Develop practical strategies for integrating your passions into daily life
✅ Cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and fulfillment
A Personalized Approach for Lasting Change

I take the time to understand your individual story, challenges, and aspirations so that we can create a tailored plan that resonates with your personal narrative. Whether you're looking to revive a dormant passion or discover something entirely new, our work together will empower you to live a life that feels authentically yours.
