When Something Needs to Change

Maybe You've Been Holding It Together for a Long Time

You're getting through work, relationships and everything that needs to be done—but inside, you may feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected or unsure why things feel harder than they used to.

Maybe your mind won't switch off. You keep second-guessing yourself. You say yes when you want to say no. The same arguments keep happening. Or something has changed, and you don't quite feel like yourself anymore.

You don't need to have the right words for what's happening before you reach out.

Finding the Right Fit Matters

Meet a Counsellor Who Feels Like the Right Fit

You don't need to fit yourself into one approach to counselling. Our counsellors bring different experiences, perspectives and ways of working, so you can find support that feels right for you.

Common Questions

Counselling Support That Meets You Where You Are

It is normal to have questions before beginning counselling. Here are answers to some of the questions clients often ask before taking the next step.

Do I need a diagnosis to begin counselling?

No. You do not need a formal diagnosis to begin counselling. Many people reach out because they feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in recurring patterns or unlike themselves. Counselling can begin with what you are currently experiencing.

How do I choose the right counsellor?

Consider the counsellor's areas of experience, therapeutic approach, availability and whether their way of working feels comfortable to you. You can explore our counsellor profiles or contact us for help identifying someone whose experience may fit what you are looking for.

What concerns can your counsellors support?

Our team supports adults, couples, children and teens experiencing concerns such as anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, trauma, grief and loss, depression, neurodivergence, substance-use concerns, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and challenging life transitions. Areas of experience vary between counsellors, so reviewing individual profiles can help you find an appropriate fit.

What therapeutic approaches do you use?

Our counsellors use trauma-informed and integrative approaches shaped by their individual training and professional experience. These may include cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, emotion-focused work, solution-focused therapy, somatic and nervous-system approaches, and EMDR. Your counsellor can explain which approaches may be relevant to your needs and goals.

Is online counselling available throughout British Columbia?

Yes. Secure online counselling is available to clients located throughout British Columbia. In-person counselling is also available in Coquitlam and Victoria. Availability and service options vary by counsellor.

Will my extended health plan cover counselling?

Many extended health plans provide some counselling coverage, but eligibility depends on your plan and the credentials of your chosen counsellor. Please contact your insurance provider before booking to confirm which professional designations are covered and whether a referral is required.

What happens during the free 20-minute consultation?

The consultation gives you an opportunity to briefly discuss what you are looking for, ask questions and learn more about a counsellor's approach. It can help you decide whether scheduling a counselling appointment feels like the right next step.

What can I expect from the counselling process?

Counselling is collaborative and shaped around your circumstances, goals and capacity. Your counsellor may help you understand your experiences, recognize patterns, develop practical strategies and explore changes that feel meaningful and manageable. The pace and length of counselling are different for every person.
