Counselling for Burnaby, with Savneet
Savneet works with clients in Burnaby 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.
Burnaby looks west for services and is covered by Fraser Health. A mismatch that costs people weeks.
BC Association of Clinical Counsellors keeps a public register, so you can check Savneet’s registration yourself before a consultation in Burnaby.
- First 15-minute consultation free, by video, with no obligation to book afterwards
- Individual counselling, $140 for 50 minutes
- Savneet does not offer couples counselling, EMDR or family counselling; Camille Granda does: book couples counselling with Camille, or book EMDR or family counselling with Camille.
Paid at booking, with a receipt for your extended health plan; whether your plan reimburses it depends on the plan. Fees and coverage.
Burnaby is a city that mostly faces west. People work in Vancouver, look for services in Vancouver, and reasonably assume the health authority covering downtown covers them too.
It does not. Public mental-health intake for a Burnaby address runs through Fraser Health, not Vancouver Coastal. That is a small administrative fact with a real cost: people discover it at the wrong end of a referral, having already waited, and start again in a different queue.
Her focus is anxiety, depression, trauma and attachment, personality disorders. Sessions run in English or Punjabi, including moving between them within one session.

Why a video session suits Burnaby
- No trip across the city, The commute west is the most common reason a course of sessions here ends early. New Westminster and Queensborough have a page of their own.
- No referral, no diagnosis, Counselling with an RCC is accessed directly, whichever authority covers your address.
- English or Punjabi, Including moving between them inside one session, which is how most bilingual people actually think.
Sessions in English or Punjabi
Savneet works in English and Punjabi, 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 Savneet works with
Anxiety
Cycles of worry and overthinking, and a nervous system learning that it is safe to slow down.
Depression
Helping small steps and small moments feel possible again, without pressure to snap out of it.
Trauma and attachment
Trauma at whatever pace feels right, sometimes before you are ready to look at it at all; and attachment patterns, so the way you connect with others starts to feel like a choice rather than a reflex.
Personality disorders
Building a steadier sense of self without losing what makes you who you are.
Savneet may suit you if you are
- Managing everything on the outside, while quietly struggling on the inside
- Carrying trauma or attachment wounds that keep showing up in your relationships
- Stuck in patterns you recognise but cannot seem to shift on your own
- Not sure if what you are feeling has a name yet, and that is okay
- Wanting to work in English, in Punjabi, or moving between the two
Reaching out does not commit you to anything. We can start with a conversation and see if it feels right.
Questions people in Burnaby ask
Which health authority covers Burnaby?
Fraser Health, not Vancouver Coastal, which surprises a lot of people who work in Vancouver. It determines the public intake route for your address, and has no bearing at all on seeing a Registered Clinical Counsellor privately.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. Counselling with an RCC is accessed directly. There is no referral, no diagnosis, and no waiting for a physician appointment first.
Is counselling covered by MSP?
No. MSP does not cover counselling with an RCC. Many extended health plans reimburse it, depending on the plan, so check yours; receipts carry the registration number insurers ask for.
Can I have a session on a work day?
Times depend on the counsellor, and the booking page shows what is open. Because there is no travel, a session costs the session rather than the afternoon around it as well.
