About Inward Passage Counselling
Welcome. I’m Mona Sather, and I offer compassionate, one-on-one counselling in the heart of the Kootenays.
Inward Passage Counselling was founded with the intention of creating a warm, grounded, and community-minded space where individuals can explore their inner worlds and navigate life’s complexities with care and clarity. Based in Nelson, BC, I work with clients locally and beyond—offering a supportive environment to heal, reflect, and grow.
My approach is holistic and personalized.
Whether you're moving through emotional challenges, seeking a deeper connection with yourself, or simply feeling called to explore your inner life more fully, I tailor each session to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll work gently toward understanding, self-trust, and meaningful change.
Whatever your path, my hope is to help you reconnect with your strength, your resilience, and your most authentic self.
Why This Work Matters
Life naturally includes beginnings and endings, highs and lows. At times, we all face emotional turbulence, inner resistance, or uncertainty. Counselling offers a way through. At Inward Passage Counselling, the focus is on creating a safe, supportive space for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful transformation—so you can feel more grounded, confident, and alive in your everyday life.
Who I Work With
My services are for anyone in Nelson, the surrounding Kootenay valleys, or beyond who wants to nurture their mental, emotional, or spiritual well-being. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, coping with ongoing stress, searching for clarity, or simply longing to reconnect with yourself—this work is here to support you.
Taking the Next Step

My Values
Authenticity: I strive to show up as my true self, and I encourage you to do the same. It’s important to be seen and honored for who we really are, and my commitment is to meet you as you are, fully and authentically.
Autonomy: You are the expert on your own life. While I am here to support you, only you know what is best for you. Learning to trust yourself and listen to your inner guidance can be a powerful, life-changing gift.
Balance: Balance is key to well-being, and it looks different for everyone. My own experiences with burnout taught me the importance of listening to my body and finding harmony between work, rest, and play. Balance is not static—it evolves with each stage of life.
Laughter: Laughter is a powerful tool for healing. It shifts our perspective, reduces stress, and reminds us not to take life too seriously. I’ve learned from my grandmother that humor can always be found, even in tough times.
Passion: When we’re passionate, time seems to disappear, and life feels purposeful. Passion fuels us to push forward, even when we're tired. We can rediscover our passions at any stage of life, helping us stay connected to what lights us up.
Nature: Nature is a deep source of healing for me. I spend time outdoors daily, finding peace and restoration in the natural world. Nature’s sensory experiences offer an accessible, free way to nourish the soul.
