Counselling for Mission, with Savneet

Savneet works with clients in Mission 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.

Mission sits on the north bank of the Fraser, across the bridge from Abbotsford, and is usually filed as part of Abbotsford’s catchment. Its working life points somewhere else. In the 2021 Census, of residents with a usual place of work, about 36% worked in Mission and about 39% worked outside the Fraser Valley regional district altogether. In Abbotsford, nearly two-thirds work in the city itself.

So somebody in Mission looking for a counsellor is choosing among three places rather than one: home on the north bank, the Valley’s services across the bridge, and a workplace further west. Each is a detour from the other two. A Registered Clinical Counsellor seen by video sits in none of them, which leaves only the question of a private room.

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 Mission

• Wherever the day puts you, At home north of the river, a room with a door near work, or a parked car before the drive back. A session needs privacy and a connection, not an address in any particular town.
• No extra crossing, For the nearly one commuter in five already spending an hour or more each way, a counselling trip over the bridge or along the Lougheed is the first thing to be dropped.
• Silverdale to Deroche, on the same terms, Silverdale, Cedar Valley, Hatzic, Hatzic Prairie, Dewdney and Deroche, with no penalty for living further east.
• Bookable around a rotation, Rosters at the institution or on the road change from week to week. Sessions are booked from what the calendar actually has open rather than one standing slot.

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.

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.
