What Brings People to Depression Counselling
Persistent Low Mood & Loss of Interest
Sadness, emptiness, and loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities disrupt daily routines and relationships.
Carrying It Quietly
Many people manage low mood and fatigue alone for months before recognizing it as something counselling can address.
Support Without Needing a Diagnosis
Depression counselling addresses persistent low mood directly, with no formal diagnosis needed to begin.
Counsellors at Counsel Me Vancouver see this pattern across many kinds of clients — the professional facing burnout-related low mood, the new parent navigating postpartum depression, the student facing academic pressure, the person processing a significant loss. Each presentation is different, and each course of depression counselling starts by understanding that person's specific symptoms and history.

What Changes With Depression Counselling
Clients build practical coping strategies for low mood, fatigue, and withdrawal through structured sessions. Clients facing postpartum or grief-related depression gain tools specific to their situation. Clients gain skills that carry into work, relationships, and daily routines long after a course of counselling ends.

What is depression counselling?
Depression counselling is a one-on-one therapeutic process between a client and a Registered Clinical Counsellor focused on the client's persistent low mood, loss of interest, and related symptoms. Sessions apply evidence-based modalities such as CBT, Interpersonal Therapy, and behavioural activation to rebuild mood and daily functioning.
How long does a depression counselling session last?
A depression counselling session typically lasts 50 to 60 minutes. This duration allows time for a mood check-in, focused therapeutic work, and closing reflection within a single appointment, whether delivered in person or by video.
What symptoms does depression counselling address?
Depression counselling addresses persistent low mood, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, sleep disruption, and feelings of worthlessness. Sessions target both the cognitive patterns driving depression and the behavioural withdrawal that often accompanies it.
How much does depression counselling cost?
Depression counselling costs typically range from $160 to $195 per 50 to 60 minute session, varying by counsellor. Many extended health insurance plans cover sessions delivered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and sliding scale rates are often available. View the Session Rates page for current pricing at Counsel Me Vancouver.
What happens in a first depression counselling session?
A first depression counselling session establishes the presenting symptoms, relevant history, and initial goals. The counsellor explains their therapeutic approach and begins building an initial plan to address mood and daily functioning.
