Immigration & Acculturation Counselling in BC, Online

Moving to a new country asks more of you than anyone warns you about. Beyond the paperwork and logistics, there's the quieter weight: homesickness, isolation, starting over professionally, raising a family between two cultures, and the strange grief of missing a place you chose to leave. Whatever you're carrying in this transition, you don't have to carry it alone.

You might be navigating:

• Loneliness, isolation, or missing home and loved ones

• Stress around language, work, credentials, or starting over

• Feeling caught between two cultures or identities

• Family tension as everyone adjusts at a different pace

• Discrimination or feeling like an outsider

• Anxiety, low mood, or grief tied to the move

How counselling helps

We offer a space where the full experience of immigration is understood — the hope and the loss, the gains and the grief. Therapy helps you process the transition, manage acculturation stress, and build a sense of belonging and stability in your new home, without having to give up where you come from.

Our approach

Our therapists provide culturally responsive support, with care available in English and Portuguese — so you can be heard in the language that feels most like home. Sessions are online throughout BC. Christina is accepting new clients and helps newcomers and families navigate life between two cultures, in English or Portuguese.

Starting over is hard. Support can make it lighter. The easiest way to begin is to book a free 15-minute consult. It's a chance to ask questions, tell us what you're looking for, and find a therapist match with the counsellor on our team who fits you best. If you already know who you'd like to work with, you can book a session with them directly.
