Depression Counselling and Therapy in Kamloops, BC
Depression Counselling for people in Kamloops is with Camille Granda or Savneet Singh, both Registered Clinical Counsellors, by secure video, with a free 15-minute consultation, no referral, and receipts your extended health plan can process.
Night shifts flatten mood through the body clock, and it gets read as a character problem.
Updated
Shift work is ordinary in Kamloops, and prolonged night and rotating shifts do measurable things to sleep and daylight exposure, both of which sit close to mood. People working those patterns frequently describe flatness, irritability and a loss of interest, and then conclude something is wrong with them rather than with the schedule.
The schedule is often not negotiable, so the work is not about advising a different job. It is about what can be protected inside the pattern that exists: light, timing, and the small number of things that hold a day together when the day starts at four in the afternoon.
Sessions are $140 for 50 minutes (BCACC’s 2026 fee guide recommends $140 to $175) and start with a free 15-minute video call, no charge, no card, and no obligation to book anything afterwards. Many BC extended health plans reimburse a Registered Clinical Counsellor; whether yours does is plan-dependent, so check it for the RCC designation before the first paid session. Fees and extended-health cover are set out in full.

Getting counselling in Kamloops
Kamloops is a hub for a very large and very sparse catchment. People drive in from Merritt, Chase and Barriere, and in winter that drive is a real deterrent rather than a theoretical one.
Interior Health runs public intake. The local private sector is small relative to the area it effectively serves, so the choice for a specific approach is narrower than on the coast, and openings vary.
For milder low mood, BounceBack, a free CMHA BC program for low mood, mild to moderate depression and stress, can be started online with no referral. When it is heavier than that, Interior Health’s Kamloops centre on Lansdowne Street offers counselling and treatment, reached by calling 310-MHSU (6478).
Weather stops being a reason to miss a session. A snowed-in highway does not cancel a video appointment.

What depression counselling involves
The full picture: how sessions are structured, what the first one is like, and what it does not do, is on the page for online depression counselling across BC. If you are still working out what you need, the short questionnaire is a quicker route than reading all of them, and what to expect in a first session covers the part most people are actually nervous about.
Questions from Kamloops
Could my shifts be causing this?
They can certainly contribute, through sleep and light exposure. That does not make the low mood less real, and it does usually change what the useful first steps are.
Are Merritt and Salmon Arm covered?
Yes, on the same terms, with no distance penalty for being further out.
Is depression counselling available in Merritt, Salmon Arm, Chase, Sun Peaks, Logan Lake, Clearwater, Revelstoke, 100 Mile House or Williams Lake?
Yes. Depression Counselling by secure video reaches Merritt, Salmon Arm, Chase, Sun Peaks, Logan Lake, Clearwater, Revelstoke, 100 Mile House and Williams Lake exactly as it reaches Kamloops: there is no office to get to and the same fee applies however far out you are. Interior Health is the public route for Kamloops and the rest of its region; this is the private one, and it needs no referral.
