PTSD Counselling in BC, Online

When something overwhelming happens — a single terrifying event or years of ongoing harm — your brain can get stuck in survival mode. Post-traumatic stress isn't a sign that you're broken or weak; it's evidence of just how much you lived through. With the right support, the symptoms that feel permanent right now can ease.

PTSD may involve:

  • Flashbacks or feeling like the event is happening again

  • Nightmares or disrupted sleep

  • Being easily startled or constantly on alert

  • Avoiding anything that reminds you of what happened

  • Feeling emotionally flat, detached, or far away

  • Sudden waves of fear, anger, or grief

How counselling helps

Effective PTSD therapy is paced and collaborative. We begin by helping you feel more grounded and resourced in the present, so that when we do approach the difficult memories, you're not facing them unsupported. Processing the trauma — through approaches like EMDR — allows your mind to file the memory away as the past, reducing its power to hijack your present.

You set the pace. Nothing happens before you're ready.

Our approach

Our therapists use EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and somatic and mindfulness-based skills for regulation. If your PTSD is connected to a motor vehicle accident, see our ICBC page — those sessions may be covered. Care is online throughout BC, in English and Portuguese.
