Depression Counselling in Port Alberni, BC

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.

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.

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.

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.
