Campbell River is the service centre for the northern half of Vancouver Island. Island Health’s mental-health and substance-use intake in town serves Quadra and Cortes, Gold River, Tahsis and Sayward as well as the city, and people from the islands and the inlets come in for what their own communities do not have. For specialist work, though, Campbell River itself looks south: to the Comox Valley, Nanaimo, Victoria, or a ferry to the mainland.

That makes the city the end of one line and the start of another. Somebody on Cortes reaches Campbell River by two ferries; somebody in Campbell River reaches a specialist by highway, and often by sea as well. Virtual counselling takes both trips out. A Registered Clinical Counsellor anywhere in British Columbia is as available to you in Willow Point or on Quadra as to somebody in Vancouver.

Her focus is trauma, anxiety and chronic stress, grief, loss and life transitions. Sessions run in English or Tagalog, including moving between them within one session.

Why a video session suits Campbell River

• No sailing, no highway south, From Quadra or Cortes a specialist appointment used to start with a ferry; from Campbell River, with the drive down-Island. A video session starts and ends in the room you are already in.
• Built around the season, Blocks of sessions in the weeks at home, with a pause agreed in advance, for work on the boats, at the farm sites or in the bush.
• Quadra to Port Hardy, Quadra and Cortes Islands, Sayward, Gold River, Tahsis, Port Hardy and Port McNeill, booked exactly as a client in the middle of town is.
• Privacy where everybody knows the truck, Sessions happen from home, a parked vehicle or wherever is private, so there is no reception desk staffed by somebody you went to school with.

Sessions in English or Tagalog

Camille works in English and Tagalog, including moving between them inside one session. For a lot of people that is the difference between explaining a feeling and being understood the first time, and it does not require travelling to a bigger city to find it.

Camille may suit you if you are

• Anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or running on empty
• In the middle of a big change, a relationship, a move, a loss
• Carrying something from before that still shapes how you feel and how you are with people
• Tired of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or never quite feeling like enough
• Trying to make sense of yourself alongside culture, family expectations, and what got handed down
• Disconnected from your body, your feelings, or who you actually are
• Wanting better relationships and boundaries that hold
• Looking for someone who brings warmth and practical tools, not just listening

You do not need to have everything figured out before you start. Sometimes knowing that something is not working any more is enough of a reason to begin.
