We are a team of professional counsellors and student (intern) counsellors, serving the East Van community and residents of BC. At Ciel we are dedicated to providing accessible, affordable, collaborative counselling services.

All counselling sessions are delivered by Masters of Counselling Psychology interns who regularly participate in collaborative supervision with Ciel’s professional counsellors. We acknowledge that we practice on occupied, unceded Coast Salish lands.

Ciel’s counsellors provide low-cost individual counselling at a fee of $60 per session. We provide both in-person and secure video-chat sessions.

We are allies. Our approach sees your strength first and views your mastery as inherent. We work with multicultural, feminist, queer-positive, anti-oppression, decolonizing, social justice-based perspectives. At Ciel Community Counselling we welcome all folks.

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling provides support, encouragement, and guidance during challenging times. As part of the counselling process, you may experience healing, gain new perspectives, and eventually deal in new ways with personal topics.

Anxiety, depression, anger, substance abuse, relationship challenges, family and parenting problems, school difficulties, career changes, body image issues, disordered eating, identity, sexuality, and self-esteem are all areas of interest in the counselling space... and the list goes on. Whatever you bring in, we can work with.

In individual counselling you will work one-to-one with your counsellor in a caring and confidential environment. The counsellor will gently promote exploration of your feelings, beliefs, and behaviour. You may work through pain from the past, metabolize hurt, heal trauma, and identify aspects of your life that you would like to change. You might gain insight about yourself and others, and about circumstantial, systemic, and intersectional aspects influencing your experience. You may create life goals, and work toward them. Most of all, you will experience having an ally who believes in your abilities and strengths.
