Counselling for Langford, with Savneet
Langford grew by almost a third in five years, and an appointment in Victoria still means Highway 1 both ways.
Savneet works with clients in Langford 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.
Langford has grown faster than the region around it. The 2021 Census counted 46,584 residents, up 31.8% in five years against 8.0% for Greater Victoria, and 42.7% of residents aged five and over had been living in a different municipality five years earlier. It is younger, too: a median age of 38.4 against the region’s 44.8, and more children as a share of the city.
That shapes what counselling here is up against. Six in ten residents with a regular workplace commute to another municipality, so the week already includes the Highway 1 corridor at both ends, and for anyone who arrived recently the friends and family they would lean on may still be in the place they left. A Registered Clinical Counsellor by video is the one appointment that adds no drive.
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 Langford
- No Highway 1 at either end, The session is the hour itself, from a room at home, rather than the McKenzie-to-Colwood stretch twice over and the parking in between.
- Colwood to Sooke, on the same terms, View Royal, Colwood, Metchosin, the Highlands and Sooke get identical access, with no penalty for living further out along Highway 14.
- Fits around school runs and shifts, The booking calendar shows each counsellor’s real open times, and a session needs only a private room, not a gap long enough to drive somewhere.
- Start before you know anyone here, No referral and no family doctor needed first, which matters in a city where so many people have only recently arrived.
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 Langford ask
Is there a public mental-health team on the West Shore, or is it all in Victoria?
There is one for the West Shore. Island Health’s Western Communities (formerly Westshore) Mental Health & Substance Use team is the single access point for adult mental-health and substance-use services in the Western Communities, and access starts with a phone call to 250-370-5799; that call also settles which team serves your address. Private counselling is a separate question: a BC Registered Clinical Counsellor can see you anywhere in the province by secure video.
Do I need a family doctor or a referral first?
No. Counselling with an RCC is accessed directly, with no referral and no diagnosis. That matters for anyone who has moved recently and has not yet found a doctor. If medication or a diagnosis might be part of the picture, 8-1-1 is a reasonable first call, and the counsellor says plainly when a physician should be involved.
I commute into Victoria. When would sessions fit?
Wherever the booking calendar shows a time that suits you; it shows each counsellor’s real open times. A session can be taken from home on a day you are not driving in, or from a closed room at work. A session from a parked car is workable. A session while driving is not, and is rescheduled rather than held.
We moved here recently. Is it too soon to start counselling?
No. A move is one of the ordinary reasons people start, and there is no need to wait and see whether things settle on their own. A free 30-minute consultation is a reasonable first step, and deciding not to go further afterwards costs nothing.
Is there a free option on the West Shore to try first?
Yes. Island Health’s Western Communities team takes calls directly and offers a same-day, single-session counselling appointment. Pacific Centre Family Services Association provides most of its funded counselling at no cost, and 8-1-1 connects to HealthLink BC at any hour. If one of those fits what you need, use it.
