R.S. Mental Health Counselling has been quietly supporting Burnaby and Vancouver clients for over 10 years, known for practical, trauma-informed care that helps people feel better fast. If you want a counsellor who listens, offers concrete tools, and follows through, this is the practice I’d recommend to a friend. Their focus on adult anxiety, depression, grief and relationship work makes them easy to refer to someone needing real help, not just talk.

They provide individual counselling, couples therapy and trauma-focused care, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and EMDR for complex trauma. Sessions are available in-person at a comfortable street-level office (private waiting area, two therapy rooms) and online via secure video, with 50- or 80-minute appointment options. R.S. Mental Health Counselling also runs Psychoeducation workshops of up to 12 people on anxiety management and healthy communication, and offers workplace mental health consultations for small businesses looking to reduce staff burnout.

Their approach is pragmatic and skills-based. Initial assessments map symptoms and goals in a 60-minute intake, then clients receive a written care plan with measurable steps and homework tailored to their life. The lead counsellor, registered with the CRPO, holds a master’s in counselling psychology and has over a decade of clinical hours in community mental health and private practice. You’ll get evidence-based strategies, mindfulness exercises, and progress check-ins every four sessions so nothing hangs in the air.

Local people choose R.S. Mental Health Counselling because they make therapy accessible and respectful. They accept many employee assistance plans, offer sliding-scale fees for qualifying clients, and host monthly drop-in information evenings in partnership with a nearby community centre.
