Counselling for Cranbrook, with Savneet
The East Kootenay keeps Alberta’s clock, so every open time on a BC booking calendar needs translating first.
Savneet works with clients in Cranbrook 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.
- First 30-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.
Paid at booking, with a receipt for your extended health plan; whether your plan reimburses it depends on the plan. Fees and coverage.
Cranbrook is the East Kootenay’s regional centre. East Kootenay Regional Hospital is here, College of the Rockies has its main campus here, and Interior Health runs a mental-health and substance-use centre in the city. What sets Cranbrook apart from every other BC city with a page on this site is smaller and more practical: the clock. The East Kootenay keeps Alberta’s time, an hour ahead of the rest of the province.
That hour matters more than it sounds. This practice’s booking calendar is written in Pacific time, and a first appointment read on the wrong clock arrives an hour early or an hour late, at exactly the point where starting was hardest. Virtual counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor takes the highway out of getting help. This page is also about taking the guesswork out of when.
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 Cranbrook
- Pacific calendar, Mountain clock, Open times are listed in Pacific time, and the booking page says so. Add an hour in Cranbrook, in every season.
- Around the roster, not the calendar week, Sessions cluster in the stretch off and thin out during a block, so a rotation that moves does not have to end the work.
- Kimberley to the Elk Valley, Kimberley, Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford, Invermere and Radium Hot Springs, all on Cranbrook’s Mountain clock and on Cranbrook’s terms.
- Out of sight of the front desk, Where the person at reception may be a teammate’s parent or a neighbour from the next street, a session from your own room skips the front desk altogether.
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 Cranbrook ask
What time is my session in Cranbrook?
One hour later than the booking calendar shows. The calendar is in Pacific time; Cranbrook, Kimberley and the Elk Valley keep Mountain Daylight Time all year, so the gap is the same hour in every season, including after BC stops changing its clocks on 1 November 2026. If a time on your confirmation looks wrong, raise it before the first session.
I work rotating shifts at a mine. Can counselling fit around that?
Yes, and the roster is a good thing to bring to the first conversation. Sessions can sit in the stretch off, move with the rotation, or pause through a long block with the restart already agreed, so the plan follows the schedule rather than the other way round.
Which health authority covers Cranbrook?
Interior Health. Calling 310-MHSU (6478) is the self-referral route to its mental-health and substance-use services, and the Cranbrook centre lists counselling and treatment, group counselling and opioid agonist treatment among what it offers. Seeing a private counsellor as well does not take you off anything there.
Is there something free I should look at first?
Yes. If you are 12 to 24, Foundry East Kootenay in Cranbrook, run by Ktunaxa Kinbasket Child and Family Services Society, offers free counselling. At any age the Interior Health centre is the public route, and this site’s free and low-cost counselling page lists reduced-fee options across BC. Look at those before paying for anything.
Why are Golden and Creston not listed with Cranbrook?
Because their clock matches the booking calendar. Golden moves to UTC-7 all year from 1 November 2026, and Creston stopped changing its clocks long ago, so neither needs the hour of translation this page is about. Both are served on identical terms; they simply do not share Cranbrook’s time-zone question.
