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.

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. For the fuller picture of accessing counselling from Burnaby: waitlists, the health authority, and what is available locally. See [online counselling in Burnaby](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/online-counselling/burnaby). ## 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](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/online-counselling/new-westminster) 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 [![A stylised map of British Columbia with a central video-session hub linked by dotted lines to Prince George, Kamloops, Kelowna, Abbotsford, Surrey, Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, showing that sessions reach every region of the province.](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/img/bc-reach.svg) (full size, opens in a new tab)](https://www.westpeakwellness.com/img/bc-reach.svg) Every region of the province, from one virtual practice. > Reaching out does not commit you to anything.

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.
