Camille Granda · Richmond
Counselling for Richmond, with Camille
A large city whose counselling supply is organised around languages this practice does not offer — which thins the field more than the population suggests.
Camille works with clients in Richmond 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.
Richmond has real counselling capacity, and much of it is built — correctly — around the city's Chinese-speaking communities. If that is not what you are looking for, the field narrows fast, and people routinely end up searching Vancouver or Surrey instead.
The airport and the port are also large local employers, on rosters that change. A session you can attend from home between shifts is worth more than one you could theoretically drive to and keep missing.
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 Richmond
- No bridge, no tunnel — The Massey Tunnel and the Oak Street bridge stop being part of the appointment.
- Built for shift rosters — Evening appointments, and no travel time either side of a session.
- Serves all of Richmond — Steveston, Brighouse, Hamilton and the island's east side on identical terms.
- 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 Richmond ask
I work rotating shifts at the airport. Can therapy fit around that?
Yes, and it works far better if it is planned for from the start rather than discovered in month two. Booking block by block around a roster, with gaps, is a normal pattern and nothing is lost by pausing between blocks.
Which health authority covers Richmond?
Vancouver Coastal Health, not Fraser Health. It is worth knowing before joining a public waitlist, because a referral into the wrong authority's queue is a delay nobody tells you about until you ask.
Is there a free consultation first?
Yes — 15 minutes by video, no charge, no card, and no obligation afterwards. If it turns out someone else is a better fit, you will be told that on the call.
Can sessions be in Tagalog?
Yes — in English or Tagalog, or moving between them as the conversation needs. Most people switch without planning to, particularly when something is hard to say, and nothing about the session requires picking one and staying there.
