Private Counselling services for Individuals, Couples and Families

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor available for regular ongoing counselling and/or short term sessions for general support or, specifically to support anyone experiencing increased anxiety and stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other related issues. I am offering online counselling sessions during this time of global crisis. Please contact me to discuss a sliding scale of payment to ensure you can receive the support you need at a cost you can afford. If you or someone you know could benefit from the opportunity to talk, please let me know. I can be contacted via email at rachel@compassioncounselling.ca or by phone at 250-818-7673. I am a Registered with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT). I draw on my own personal experience and adversities, my background in Mindfulness and Meditation and extensive training from Clearmind International Institute. For the last four years, I have assisted and supported participants in numerous personal growth workshops and weekends, volunteered as a community counsellor at Esquimalt Neighbourhood House and continued my own personal journey through intensive therapy and continuing education, including currently pursuing formal education in Contemplative Psychotherapy and as a certified Death Doula. I believe in the immense power and potential of the human body. I believe in the power of conscious connection. I believe that in allowing others to truly see us, we become able to truly see the divine in both ourselves and others. During our sessions, I will accompany you as you navigate personal and/or professional obstacles. You will go through the process of setting goals, discovering patterns and beliefs that are both helping and hindering you in your life, exploring new options and tools for growth and building resilience and, participating in experiential interventions beyond 'talk therapy' that are designed to expand your awareness of self and other. Through a process of integration, you will be supported and encouraged to step further into yourself and your life in a more meaningful and fulfilling way.
