With offices in Nanaimo, Ladysmith and Parksville, BC, we provide experienced, compassionate and professional counselling services in mid Vancouver Island and online. With four 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.
