Counselling for Richmond, with Savneet
Savneet works with clients in Richmond 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.
A large, multilingual city, where the counsellor who fits may be in Richmond or anywhere else in BC.
BC Association of Clinical Counsellors keeps a public register, so you can check Savneet’s registration yourself before a consultation in Richmond.
- First 15-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: book couples counselling with Camille, or book EMDR or family counselling with Camille.
Paid at booking, with a receipt for your extended health plan; whether your plan reimburses it depends on the plan. Fees and coverage.
Richmond is one of the larger cities in Metro Vancouver, and on paper that should mean a wide choice of counsellors. In practice the choice narrows quickly depending on what you need it in. A great deal of Richmond's mental-health provision is built, correctly and deliberately, around its Chinese-speaking communities, Cantonese and Mandarin services are a genuine local strength.
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 Richmond
- No bridge, no tunnel, The Massey Tunnel and the Oak Street bridge stop being part of the appointment.
- Built for shift rosters, No travel time either side of a session, and a time picked from what the counsellor has open rather than a fixed weekly slot.
- Serves all of Richmond, Steveston, Brighouse, Hamilton and the island's east side on identical terms.
- 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
Reaching out does not commit you to anything. We can start with a conversation and see if it feels right.
Questions people in Richmond ask
Can I have sessions in Punjabi?
Yes: in Punjabi, English, or both within the same session, with no need to travel to Surrey or Vancouver to find it.
I work rotating shifts at the airport. Can therapy fit around that?
Yes, and it works far better if it is planned for from the start rather than discovered in month two. Booking block by block around a roster, with gaps, is a normal pattern and nothing is lost by pausing between blocks.
Which health authority covers Richmond?
Vancouver Coastal Health, not Fraser Health. It is worth knowing before joining a public waitlist, because a referral into the wrong authority's queue is a delay nobody tells you about until you ask.
Is there a free consultation first?
Yes: 15 minutes by video, no charge, no card, and no obligation afterwards. If it turns out someone else is a better fit, you will be told that on the call.
