therapy for students

it is not just stress about a deadline.

counselling for students carrying more than coursework. sessions that fit around a timetable, at rates that fit a student budget.

  • sliding scale rates available
  • virtual across bc
  • sessions around your timetable
  • free 20-minute consult

everyone says these are the best years.

that framing is not much use when you are anxious most of the time, unsure whether you have chosen the right thing, and comparing your insides to everyone else's outsides. this stretch can be genuinely hard, and saying so is not ingratitude.

  • the pressure to have it figured out

    a decision made at nineteen is somehow supposed to settle the rest of it. the weight of getting it wrong sits on everything.

  • anxiety that shows up as procrastination

    it looks like laziness from the outside. from the inside it is dread, and the more it builds the harder it is to start.

  • far from whoever holds you

    new city, new people, and the ones who actually know you are a timezone away. that loneliness is real, not a failure to socialise.

somewhere that is not being graded.

almost every room you are in right now is evaluating you. this one is not. you can be uncertain here, change your mind here, and say the thing you would not say to your family or your friends. we work out what is actually yours to carry, and what got handed to you by an institution, a family expectation, or a system that was never built with you in mind.

what working together looks like

no forms before we meet, and no assumption you know what you want from this yet.

we talk

a free 20-minute call. it is fine to turn up without knowing how to explain it. no obligation either way.

we sort the noise

we separate what is genuinely yours from what you inherited or absorbed, so you are not carrying all of it.

we work at your pace

sessions fit around your timetable, and reduced-fee spaces exist if cost is the barrier. just ask.
