Online Counselling

Across British Columbia

Are you struggling and
know you need help?

Are you experiencing…

  • Anxiety or panic that feels sudden or out of control

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories

  • Emotional numbness or overwhelm

  • Anger outbursts or constant conflict in relationships

  • Depression or a sense of disconnection

  • A lack of confidence or low sense of self

When you’re facing these challenges, it’s natural to wonder where to turn.

Who will understand what you’re experiencing? Who can help you make sense of it? Who has the experience to help guide you forward? And who will meet you with compassion, without making you feel judged or alone?

Healing and growth begin with having the right support—someone who can meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges on your own. Change is possible.

At Hers Counselling, our team of Registered Clinical Counsellors come alongside you with a relational and compassionate approach, offering guidance, clarity, and support as you do the work of healing and growth.

  • Therapy isn’t only for crises — it’s for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or wants things to be different in their life or relationships. Research shows psychotherapy is effective across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. A large 2025 synthesis of hundreds of studies found therapy produces meaningful improvements across multiple mental health conditions globally (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40489181/).

    Even if your struggles feel “not serious enough,” therapy can help you better understand yourself, develop healthier patterns, and improve overall well-being.

  • The first session is a conversation focused on understanding you — your concerns, your goals, and what’s been difficult. It’s also a chance for you to assess whether you feel comfortable with the therapist.

    Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship (feeling understood, safe, and respected) is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes — often more important than the specific technique used.

  • No preparation is required. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear story.

    That said, people who reflect a bit (10 minutes is good) on what they want to be different often get more out of therapy. Therapy works best when it’s collaborative and intentional — something supported by research showing better outcomes when clients are actively engaged in the process.

  • Yes, research has shown that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. Here is a randomized control trial showing online EMDR therapy’s effectiveness when compared to in-person EMDR therapy: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38073540/

  • The number of sessions you will require depends on:

    1. What your goals are for therapy. How ambitious are you for change? I like to think of a metaphor of cleaning a house. Do you want to clean the kitchen? Do you want to clean the entire house? Do you want to do a Reno and put a new cabinets? This will impact the length of therapy.

    2. The extent of trauma you have sustained in your life. Part of our work is doing a history of traumatic life events. If you’ve experienced a significant amount of trauma this will extend the amount of time needed for you to reprocess what you’ve been through.

    3. How that trauma has been encoded in your brain and nervous system. Depending several factors (the source, context of a traumatic life event, and your personal background), therapy can take longer to reprocess and heal the wounds that you carry.

  • That’s completely normal. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable.

    Many people begin therapy feeling uncertain — but still benefit significantly. Studies show that even short-term therapy can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, even when clients begin with hesitation (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1741-7015-8-38?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

    A good therapist will move at your pace and help you feel more comfortable over time.

  • Most people start with weekly or biweekly sessions.

    Consistency matters—research shows that regular engagement improves outcomes, especially early in therapy when patterns are just beginning to shift (https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2015-45474-001).

  • You may notice:

    • Feeling less overwhelmed

    • Responding differently to stress

    • Greater clarity or self-understanding

    • Improved relationships

    Research shows therapy leads to moderate, meaningful improvements in symptoms, with many people experiencing noticeable changes within a few months (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29361995/).

  • Yes — with a few nuances.

    At the same time, not every approach works for every person—which is why fit, consistency, and the therapeutic relationship matter so much.
