The darkest winter in BC, and months when roads decide plans. [Book a free consultation for depression counselling in Prince George](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/book) [What depression counselling involves](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/services/individual-therapy#online-depression-counselling-in-bc) Updated October 17, 2026 Northern BC gets [meaningfully less winter daylight than the south](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/guides/low-mood-through-a-bc-winter), and the effect on mood is well described rather than anecdotal. Combine that with months where getting anywhere is difficult and the range of things a person does contracts sharply, and a contracted range is one of the conditions in which low mood entrenches. The season with the most need is also the season when getting anywhere is hardest, so a wait for a local opening can land in the worst months. Sessions that do not depend on a road or the weather can run through the months when they are actually needed. Sessions are $140 for 50 minutes (BCACC’s 2026 fee guide recommends $140 to $175) and start with a [free 15-minute video call](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/book), 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](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/pricing) are set out in full. ## Depression counsellors in Prince George: who you would see Taking new clients for depression counselling and seeing people in Prince George by secure video.

"The nearest specialist" can mean a flight, not a drive. Northern Health covers a very large catchment, and for specialised work the local choice is narrower than in the south, with openings that vary. [![A stylised map of British Columbia with a central video-session hub linked by dotted lines to Prince George, Kamloops, Kelowna, Abbotsford, Surrey, Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, showing that sessions reach every region of the province.](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/img/bc-reach.svg) (full size, opens in a new tab)](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/img/bc-reach.svg) Anywhere in BC includes Prince George. There is no catchment, because there is no office. In Prince George the public route for depression starts in primary care: Northern Health’s CAST and COAST teams take referrals from a family doctor, a nurse practitioner or an interprofessional team. That appointment is also where a diagnosis or a conversation about medication belongs, and neither is something a counsellor provides. **Northern BC and Metro Vancouver get the same counsellor. Virtual care is the only arrangement in which that sentence is true.** More on this city, including who else it serves and what the local picture looks like: [online counselling in Prince George](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/online-counselling/prince-george). [Book a consultation](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/book) [Ask a question first](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/contact) ## What depression counselling involves [![Two overlapping circles. Burnout is tied to a specific context and often lifts on extended leave; depression is present across contexts. Shared features include exhaustion, poor sleep, difficulty concentrating and withdrawal.](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/img/burnout-vs-depression.svg) (full size, opens in a new tab)](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/img/burnout-vs-depression.svg) Overlapping symptoms, different reach. 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](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/services/individual-therapy#online-depression-counselling-in-bc). If you are still working out what you need, [the short questionnaire](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/tools/which-service) is a quicker route than reading all of them, and [what to expect in a first session](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/guides/what-to-expect-first-therapy-session) covers the part most people are actually nervous about. ## Questions from Prince George **Is this just seasonal?** It might be, and it is worth establishing rather than assuming, because a predictable pattern can be prepared for in advance instead of only reacted to. **Should I stay on the public waitlist?** Generally yes. Staying in that queue costs nothing while starting privately, and the two are parallel routes rather than alternatives. **Is depression counselling available in Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Mackenzie, Terrace or Prince Rupert?** Yes. Depression Counselling by secure video reaches Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Mackenzie, Terrace and Prince Rupert exactly as it reaches Prince George: there is no office to get to and the same fee applies however far out you are. Northern Health is the public route for Prince George and the rest of its region; this is the private one, and it needs no referral.
