Counselling in Burnaby and online across BC
for anxious mindstired relationshipsbig life changes
Counselling for anxiety, relationships, grief and life's big changes. Meet in person in Burnaby, or by secure video from anywhere in BC.
You're getting through the days, but it takes more out of you than it used to. Sleep is patchy, your patience is thin, and the people closest to you are noticing.
You've tried to sort it out on your own: more structure, more exercise, more pushing through. It helps for a while, then the same feelings come back.
Talking to someone isn't a last resort. It's a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening and find a way forward that fits your life.
Our approach
Practical, warm and unhurried
A quiet room, or a private video call, where you can say what's really going on without being rushed or judged.
We draw on CBT, ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR and more, and we shape the work around what matters to you.
Your intake answers are encrypted and only your counsellor can read them. Everything stays on a Canadian server.
Welcome
Every counsellor here is registered with a professional college and takes part in regular clinical supervision.

Every Book button shows our counsellors' real open times, updated the moment someone books. Evening and Saturday times fill fastest, so it's worth booking a week or two ahead.

A short phone or video call to ask about fit, fees and availability.
A consult isn't a counselling session, so we won't go into what's happening for you in depth on the call.
This practice is not an emergency service, and this website, our email and online booking are not monitored for urgent concerns. If you are in crisis, call or text 9-8-8 (Suicide Crisis Helpline, 24/7), call 9-1-1, or go to your nearest emergency department.
