Counselling for Vancouver, with Camille
Camille works with clients in Vancouver entirely by secure video. What changes is what getting to an appointment in person would have cost you, and that is the part this removes.
Online counselling in Vancouver is booked directly with a Registered Clinical Counsellor, by secure video: no referral, a free 15-minute consultation first, and no trip across town, in a city whose public front door does not offer counselling.
BC Association of Clinical Counsellors keeps a public register, so you can check Camille’s registration yourself before a consultation in Vancouver.
- First 15-minute consultation free, by video, with no obligation to book afterwards
- Individual counselling, $140 for 50 minutes
- Couples counselling, $175 for 50 minutes, or extended $340 for 110 minutes
- EMDR, $140 for 50 minutes, or intensive $190 for 90 minutes
Paid at booking, with a receipt for your extended health plan; whether your plan reimburses it depends on the plan. Fees and coverage.
Online or virtual therapy in Vancouver works the same way from Kitsilano as from East Vancouver: a scheduled 50-minute session by secure video with a Registered Clinical Counsellor, booked yourself from the counsellor's calendar. An individual session is $140, after a free 15-minute consultation. Most people arrive with a particular reason in mind: depression counselling and therapy in Vancouver, anxiety and trauma each have a page of their own below.
Vancouver has more counsellors than any other city in British Columbia, and it is still where people most often report giving up on finding one. The constraint is not supply. It is where the public route sends you, what a weekly fee competes with, and the time a cross-town appointment really takes.
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 Vancouver
- No commute attached to the session, In a city where cross-town travel can double the time cost of an appointment, this is usually what determines whether people keep going.
- A session from work, without explaining an absence, A closed office, a booked meeting room or a parked car is entirely workable, at whichever of the calendar's open times suits you.
- It follows you, Moving within BC, common here, does not mean starting again with someone new.
- The North Shore has its own page, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Bowen Island and Lions Bay have their own public intake team, on the Lions Gate Hospital campus, and a page of their own.
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.
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.
Questions people in Vancouver ask
Is this the same as virtual counselling or telehealth?
Yes. Online counselling, virtual counselling, virtual therapy and telehealth all describe the same thing here: a scheduled session by secure video with a Registered Clinical Counsellor, from wherever in Vancouver or beyond you are. The only word that would mean something different is in-person, which this practice does not offer.
Does ICBC cover counselling after a crash in Vancouver?
ICBC funds counselling after a motor vehicle crash in BC regardless of fault, with an initial block of sessions pre-approved and no doctor's referral needed. Whether it pays a counsellor directly depends on whether they are in ICBC's Recovery Network; this practice is not, so you would pay at booking and ask ICBC, in writing, whether it reimburses receipts from a qualified counsellor outside the network. The ICBC counselling page sets out how to open the claim and what is covered.
Is virtual therapy cheaper than in-person?
Fees here are the same either way. What virtual removes is the surrounding cost: transit or parking, and the hour or more of travel that an in-person appointment adds to a working day.
I have extended health through work. Will it cover this?
Many plans that list Registered Clinical Counsellors will, depending on the plan. Some list only psychologists and social workers, so it is worth checking the exact wording, the extended health coverage page explains what to look for.
What if I cannot afford private fees?
Vancouver Coastal Health runs free mental-health services, and there is a broader set of free and low-cost options across BC worth checking before paying out of pocket. Those are listed on the free and low-cost counselling page.
For what working in Tagalog means for someone in Vancouver, the practice’s page on Tagalog counselling in Vancouver covers it.
