Counselling for White Rock, with Camille
A small city on the border where the counsellor you can reach may be someone you will see again at the pier.
Camille works with clients in White Rock 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.
White Rock is small in a way that changes what privacy means. A city of a few square kilometres wrapped around one hill, one promenade and one main street is a place where the person in the waiting room is quite often someone you know — and where the counsellor you would be booking with may share a grocery store, a beach walk and a dentist with you.
It is also a city that skews older than almost anywhere else in Metro Vancouver, and that shapes what people actually come to therapy for here: retirement that turned out to be harder than expected, caregiving for a partner, grief after a long marriage, health anxiety with a real diagnosis underneath it, and adult children who moved away. Those are not the presentations a general "anxiety and depression" page is written for.
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 White Rock
- No doorway to be seen at — In a city where the pier, the pharmacy and the main street are shared, that is the practical privacy concern rather than an abstract one.
- No drive up the hill — Sessions from home matter more where mobility, weather or a steep grade are part of the calculation.
- Serves the whole Peninsula — White Rock, South Surrey, Crescent Beach and Ocean Park, on identical terms — municipal boundaries do not change availability.
- 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 White Rock ask
Do you have an office in White Rock?
No. The practice is fully virtual and every session happens by secure video, wherever you are. You may find the business listed with a White Rock address — that is the registered address, not a clinic you would attend, and there is no waiting room.
Do you cover South Surrey, Crescent Beach and Ocean Park?
Yes, and on exactly the same terms. The practice covers all of British Columbia, so which side of the White Rock–Surrey boundary you live on changes nothing about availability or fee.
I am retired. Is counselling still worth starting?
Yes, and the question comes up here more than almost anywhere. Grief, the shape of retirement, caregiving and health worry are ordinary reasons to start and respond to the work as well as anything else does. A free 15-minute consultation is a reasonable way to find out whether it is worth your time, and saying no afterwards costs nothing.
I am not confident with video calls. Is that a problem?
No. The link opens in a browser with nothing to install and no account to create, and the first few minutes of a first session are routinely spent making sure it works. If the video is the obstacle, say so on the consultation call and it can be sorted out then rather than on the day.
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.
