Addictions Counselling in BC, Online

Addiction thrives in shame and secrecy, which is part of what makes it so hard to face. But the desire to numb, escape, or feel okay is deeply human — and the patterns that got out of hand once made sense as a way to cope. Whether it's substances, gambling, or another behaviour that's taken on a life of its own, you can be met here without judgment.

You might be struggling with:

  • Using substances or behaviours more than you want to

  • Feeling unable to stop even when it's causing harm

  • Hiding your use, or feeling shame around it

  • Strained relationships, work, or finances as a result

  • Using to cope with stress, pain, trauma, or difficult emotions

  • Repeated attempts to cut back that haven't lasted

How counselling helps

We meet you wherever you are — whether your goal is reduction, abstinence, or simply understanding what's going on. Therapy helps you explore the needs and pain underneath the addiction, build coping strategies that don't rely on the substance or behaviour, and strengthen the supports around you. We do this with compassion, not lectures.

Scope of support

Counselling is one part of recovery. If you need medical detox, intensive treatment, or peer support, we'll help you connect with the right resources alongside our work together.

Our approach

Our therapists draw on CBT, motivational and harm-reduction approaches, and trauma-informed care, online across BC and in English and Portuguese.

You don't have to face this alone, or be judged for it. Book a free consult.

Do you still have questions...?

That's completely okay. It's normal to feel unsure about what you're experiencing or whether counselling is the right fit. You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. We welcome your questions. Our goal is to help you find the support that feels right for you.
