Calm Waters

Counselling Collective

Open 7 days/Week, Including Holidays

Life’s storms can be overwhelming. Here is a place to breathe, a safe harbour, a place to be heard. We are here to help you get through the storm to calmer waters.

We are a collective, a group of counsellors working together towards a common goal: to provide evidence based, non-judgemental, trauma informed and inclusive mental health care.

We hold space for counsellors to connect, consult and collaborate.

Our Four Pillars

Group Counselling

Counselling is not a one-size fits all process which is why we are offering a variety of groups so you can choose the one (or more) that best suit your goals!

A winding waterway with a concrete sea wall, a lighthouse, and a steep cliff covered in trees; a Canadian flag is visible at the top of the cliff, and ships are on the water in the distance under a cloudy sky with sunlight.

Clinical Consultation Teams

Consultation Teams are biweekly or monthly groups for counsellors to collaborate and consult on treatment planning, interventions, or simply another perspective. Consult teams are a space to grow and learn, without judgement.

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Registered Social Worker, or other qualified mental health professional.

Connecting Counsellors

Social, Networking, and Professional Development events for counsellors.

Going to therapy is a gift. It is a chance to finally be heard, understood and supported
— Bessel Van Der Kolk

From consultation groups to social events and networking, Calm Waters is a space designed to develop a sense of community for clinical counsellors.

Inclusivity & Respectful Environment

Inclusivity, respect, compassion and equity are some of our fundamental values. We welcome individuals of diverse identities and backgrounds. Our goal is to provide a space where individuals feel heard, valued and seen. We respectfully acknowledge that our practice is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. We honour the knowledge, transitions and ongoing presence of indigenous communities here in the Lower Mainland and across British Columbia.

Calm Waters Counselling Collective is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive environment. Abusive, discriminatory, or threatening language toward staff or other clients will not be tolerated. Threats of violence, harassment or other abusive behaviours may lead to the termination of services. Speak to the clinical director for any questions or concerns.
