Counselling for Chilliwack, with Camille
Chilliwack is where the Fraser Valley stops being commutable — and where specific modalities stop being available.
Camille works with clients in Chilliwack entirely by secure video, so nothing about the fee, the availability or the work changes with where you live. What changes is what getting to an appointment in person would have cost you — and that is the part this removes.
West of Chilliwack the Fraser Valley is commutable. At Chilliwack it stops. A Surrey appointment is a two-hour round trip in good conditions, and between November and March Highway 1 does not reliably provide good conditions.
That is the honest reason a great many people here have never seriously pursued counselling — not reluctance, but a standing arrangement that was never realistic to sustain through a winter.
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 Chilliwack
- No highway, in any weather — A closed road does not cancel a video session. In this part of the valley that is the whole argument.
- Modalities not available locally — EMDR and Gottman-informed couples work, without travelling west for them.
- Serves the eastern valley — Sardis, Rosedale, Agassiz and Hope, with no travel penalty for being further out.
- Phone fallback — Where a connection is unreliable, sessions run by phone — agreed in advance rather than improvised.
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.
What Camille works with
Trauma
Difficult or overwhelming experiences, worked through at a pace you set — building safety and a sense of control first, rather than going straight at the hardest thing.
Anxiety and chronic stress
The patterns underneath high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism and burnout. The kind almost nobody around you can see, because you are still delivering.
Grief, loss and life transitions
Room for the changes you chose and the ones you did not — endings, identity shifts, and the uncertainty that arrives with them.
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.
Questions people in Chilliwack ask
Is there anything available locally in Chilliwack?
There is local practice, and for general counselling it may well be the right answer. This practice is virtual and covers the whole province, which matters most when what you need is specific rather than general.
What happens if my internet is unreliable?
Sessions can run by phone instead, and turning the camera off cuts the bandwidth needed considerably. It is worth agreeing in advance what happens if a connection drops, so it is an inconvenience rather than an interruption to the work.
Do you cover Hope and Agassiz?
Yes — anywhere in British Columbia. Being further east carries no penalty at all, which is the one respect in which virtual care is genuinely different from the alternative.
What does a session cost?
$140 for 50 minutes, after a free 15-minute consultation. Most extended health plans reimburse sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor; MSP does not cover them.
