Counselling in Tagalog for New Westminster
Tagalog is New Westminster’s most common mother tongue after English, a larger share than in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey or Richmond.
Westpeak Wellness offers counselling in Tagalog or English for New Westminster, by secure video with a Registered Clinical Counsellor who is a native Tagalog speaker. Sessions cover anxiety, trauma, grief, family and immigration stress, and can move between the two languages within the hour. The first 30-minute consultation is free.
Updated October 2, 2026
In the 2021 Census 3,270 New Westminster residents gave Tagalog as their mother tongue, 4.2% of the city and more than any language other than English (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census Profile). Proportionally that is a larger share than in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey or Richmond, in a city small enough that people keep running into each other. For some people that closeness is exactly why a counsellor from outside them is easier to talk to.
New Westminster is also a hospital city, built around Royal Columbian, and a hospital runs on rotating rosters. Sessions by video in Tagalog, English or both, with no travel either side and nobody local to run into, fit around a roster and keep what is said private.
Sessions run in Tagalog, in English, or moving between the two as the conversation needs, which is what most bilingual people do without planning to. Nothing about the fee or the availability changes with the language.

Questions people in New Westminster ask
I live in Queensborough. Is that included?
Yes. Queensborough is part of New Westminster, across the Fraser from the rest of the city, and video sessions reach it on exactly the same terms as Sapperton or Uptown.
I work shifts at the hospital. Can sessions fit around that?
Yes. Bring your roster to the free consultation and sessions can be placed in the weeks it leaves open, with a pause agreed for the heavy ones. The booking calendar shows the real open times.
Could someone from my community find out I am seeing a counsellor?
Not from this practice. There is no office to be seen entering and nothing is shared with anybody without your consent. The limits of confidentiality, such as risk of serious harm, are set out on the standards page and are the same as anywhere.
For the wider picture of accessing counselling from New Westminster: waitlists, the health authority, and what exists locally, counselling in New Westminster covers it. Public mental-health care is in town here. The specialist you need is often over a bridge or a city line.
