A different kind of fit

Safe, culturally competent, built for real life.

Work with a Registered Clinical Counsellor — Master’s in Counselling, years of Fraser Health BC experience, EMDR- and Gottman-trained. More about your counsellor.

Cultural context

You shouldn’t have to explain the background first.

Deep cultural competency for the South Asian community, including a Master’s thesis on intergenerational trauma. Family expectations, “log kya kahenge,” generational silence — talk about it without spending the first session setting the scene.

Sessions are available in Punjabi as well as English, if that makes it easier to say — there is a page in Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) covering services, fees and what a first session involves.

The process

How we work together

A four-step diagram: a free fifteen-minute video consultation, an intake form sent before the session, the fifty-minute first session covering history and goals, and a decision at the end about whether and how often to continue.
The path from first contact to the end of session one.
  1. Step one

    Free 15-min consult

    A short video call to see if it’s a good fit. No pressure.

  2. Step two

    Intake & goals

    The first session is about your story, your goals, and what “better” looks like.

  3. Step three

    Ongoing sessions

    50 minutes, weekly or biweekly, online from wherever you’re comfortable in BC.

Step one costs nothing. Book a free 15-minute consultation — and if it turns out someone else is a better fit, you’ll get told that too.

Good questions to start with

Are you taking new clients?

Is this practice fully online?

Yes. Westpeak Wellness is a fully virtual practice serving clients anywhere in British Columbia. Sessions take place over a secure, confidential video platform — all you need is a private space and a stable internet connection. Online sessions follow the same ethical, legal, and privacy standards as in-person therapy.

The FAQ

Where you are

Anywhere in BC — but a few places have their own page

The practice is virtual and registered across British Columbia, so where you live makes no difference to the session itself. It makes a considerable difference to what is available to you locally, and these are the places where that gap changes what there is to say — the scarcity of clinicians in the north, the cost of a ferry, the drive into a regional hub, the concentration of Punjabi-speaking counsellors in the Lower Mainland.

What is available locally in Punjabi is a different question, and across most of the province the answer is very different — which is why those regions have their own set of pages, each carrying the local census figure it rests on.

Not listed? Nothing changes — everywhere else in BC is served on exactly the same terms, and the page for the nearest listed city will usually still be the closest thing to your situation.

Therapy starts with one conversation.
