Counselling for Prince George, with Camille
Northern BC has the thinnest counselling coverage in the province — virtual care is how the gap gets closed.
Camille works with clients in Prince George 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.
If you live in Prince George and have tried to find a counsellor, you already know the shape of the problem: there are not many, the ones who are here fill up, and the wait for a psychiatrist or specialist is longer than almost anywhere else in the province. That is not a failure of effort on anyone's part. It is arithmetic — Northern Health covers roughly two-thirds of BC's landmass for about 300,000 people, and mental-health clinicians cluster where the population does.
Virtual counselling does not fix that arithmetic. What it does is remove distance from the equation entirely. A [Registered Clinical Counsellor](/compare/rcc-vs-psychologist-vs-social-worker-bc) working out of the Lower Mainland is exactly as available to you in Prince George as to someone in Burnaby — same 50-minute session, same secure platform, same [BCACC](https://bcacc.ca) code of ethics.
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 Prince George
- No drive, no weather — Sessions happen wherever you have a private room and a connection. January in the Interior stops being a scheduling problem.
- Continuity if you move or travel — Work camps, rotations, and moves within BC do not interrupt the work — the practice is licensed to see clients anywhere in the province.
- Evening appointments — Weekday evenings by request, which matters for shift work and for parents.
- English or Tagalog — Including moving between them inside one session, which is how most bilingual people actually think.
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 Prince George ask
Can a counsellor in the Lower Mainland legally see me in Prince George?
Yes. Registration applies province-wide, so a BC-based Registered Clinical Counsellor can work with clients anywhere in British Columbia by secure video. The same ethical, legal, and privacy standards apply as they would in person.
Is virtual counselling actually as good as sitting in a room with someone?
For the concerns most people bring — anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulty — the research on video-delivered therapy shows outcomes broadly comparable to in-person work. There are real trade-offs, and they are worth talking through on a consultation. There is a fuller answer in the guide on whether online therapy is as effective as in-person.
What if I am in crisis tonight?
Westpeak Wellness is not a crisis service and cannot respond to emergencies. Call or text 9-8-8 (Canada, 24/7), or 310-6789 for BC Mental Health Support — no area code needed. In immediate danger, call 911.
I am on a Northern Health waitlist already. Should I come off it?
No — stay on it. Public and private care are not mutually exclusive, and the public services are worth keeping regardless of what you do here. Private virtual counselling is most useful as something that starts now rather than something that replaces what you are waiting for. If the public service comes through and suits you better, that is a good outcome.
I work a camp rotation. Can I have sessions from site?
Often yes, and it is worth testing the connection before booking rather than discovering it mid-session. Camp internet varies enormously. Turning the camera off cuts the bandwidth a session needs considerably, and scheduling around a rotation — blocks with gaps rather than the same weekday for six months — is the normal pattern here rather than the exception.
