Campbell River is the service centre for the northern half of Vancouver Island. Island Health’s mental-health and substance-use intake in town serves Quadra and Cortes, Gold River, Tahsis and Sayward as well as the city, and people from the islands and the inlets come in for what their own communities do not have. For specialist work, though, Campbell River itself looks south: to the Comox Valley, Nanaimo, Victoria, or a ferry to the mainland.

That makes the city the end of one line and the start of another. Somebody on Cortes reaches Campbell River by two ferries; somebody in Campbell River reaches a specialist by highway, and often by sea as well. Virtual counselling takes both trips out. A Registered Clinical Counsellor anywhere in British Columbia is as available to you in Willow Point or on Quadra as to somebody in Vancouver.

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 Campbell River

• No sailing, no highway south, From Quadra or Cortes a specialist appointment used to start with a ferry; from Campbell River, with the drive down-Island. A video session starts and ends in the room you are already in.
• Built around the season, Blocks of sessions in the weeks at home, with a pause agreed in advance, for work on the boats, at the farm sites or in the bush.
• Quadra to Port Hardy, Quadra and Cortes Islands, Sayward, Gold River, Tahsis, Port Hardy and Port McNeill, booked exactly as a client in the middle of town is.
• Privacy where everybody knows the truck, Sessions happen from home, a parked vehicle or wherever is private, so there is no reception desk staffed by somebody you went to school with.

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.
