Located in beautiful Nanaimo and Parksville, BC, we provide experienced, compassionate and professional counselling services in mid Vancouver Island and online. With three office locations, we work with couples, youth and individuals. Our commitment to provide the best help and support for our clients comes first. In order to serve our clients best and provide committed, compassionate counselling, we only ever take a limited number of clients. Our appointments are available 7 days a week but for your benefit we do not book clients back to back.
Gone are the days when the only option for Counselling was a cold, clinical approach. We work together with our clients in relaxed, non judgemental spaces where you are free to explore yourself and your story.

The first thing to know, is that there is no taking sides in Couples or Marriage Counselling. No one person is right or wrong. The second thing, is that for Counselling to be effective, you must feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. For this reason, we offer a free 20 minute consultation.
Oftentimes both parties are not open to counselling and so one of the partners comes first. This is completely fine and very common in couples counselling.
Life revolves around the relationship we have with ourselves the world and the people we love. When our relationships are struggling, we feel very alone and lost. We need for our lives to not go unwitnessed and to have someone with whom we can share our most vulnerable selves with. Our past experiences and current difficulties can get in the way of the love we have for our partners.
If our relationships are to survive then we must invest in them and seek support when needed. This is where we can help. We want nothing more than for your relationships to succeed.
Conflict is a normal part of healthy relationships. Effective communication is key if you are to learn and grow from conflict and not let it destroy that loving bond with your partner. Our work with couples starts here, using fantastic proven tools for communication and putting them to use to resolve present and future issues.
We take a unique approach to helping because no couple is the same. Our Couples and Marriage Counselling sessions involve a tailored approach of both individual sessions and couples sessions. You are welcome to call or email with any questions you may have.

Helping teenagers and children results in happier adults. Providing youth with the tools they need now is fundamental if they are to create the lives their hearts desire. No work could be more rewarding and in our view, nothing more important.
“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.” – John Connolly
We are so passionate about helping today’s youth. There quite simply isn’t enough good support and the consequences can be devastating.
Every child and teenager needs to be heard and understood. They need to be comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings without the fear of judgment. Unfortunately, as much as we as parents are there and want to be supportive, we are not always the people they want to talk to.
We truly wish that every child had access to adequate Counselling as part of the education system. If Counselling was considered the norm, many young lives would be saved.
As parents, we strive to protect our children from our problems and from what can be a cruel world. What we may not realize, is how our children are often trying to protect us from their pain.
This is not their job. Young minds are not yet ready to process life’s challenges by themselves and trying to do so results in anxiety, depression and other manifestations of of an over burdened mind.
As a parent, you know without even asking, if your child is troubled. If you think your child needs to talk, please contact us in complete confidence.
E-Counselling
When you find the right Counsellor for you, distance or restricted mobility should not get in the way. Many of our clients either live far from our office, have busy work/life schedules or simply would prefer not to travel. Online Counselling is a great solution.
Online Counselling (sometimes called e-counselling or virtual counselling) works in the same way that in person sessions do. If you think online appointments may be the best option for you, please do get in touch and we can have a chat about how it may work for you.
All of our team offer Online Counselling from Vancouver Island.
To learn more about online Counselling check out our blog – Online Counselling during Covid-19.
We work with select local businesses to meet the mental health support needs of their employees. Though many employers provide extended health benefits. these plans can often fall short in meeting the unique needs of our Island Community.
Our tailored plans cater to the specific work place needs, providing counselling as well as in-house mental health workshops throughout the year.
Through partnering with employers, we work together to improve and support our community wellbeing.
