Youth Counselling Vancouver
Growing up comes with its own set of challenges. There can be a lot going on at school, with friends, at home, and inside your own mind and sometimes it can feel confusing, overwhelming, or just really hard to explain.
Maybe you’ve been feeling really low, unmotivated, or not like yourself. You might be struggling with your relationship with food or your body, or finding yourself using things like substances or other behaviours to cope. Sometimes, it can feel like you’re stuck in patterns that are hard to break, even if part of you wants things to be different.
Whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Counselling is a space just for you. A place where you can talk openly, without being judged or pressured to have everything “figured out.” You can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
You deserve support, understanding, and a place where you can just be yourself.
Methodologies for Youth & Teen Counselling include Humanistic Therapy, Trauma-Informed Counselling, CBT, DBT & Emotion-Focused Therapy.

How Can Viva Counselling Help?
Viva Counselling provides a virtual or in person space that feels safe, private, and truly your own. It is somewhere you can talk openly without fear of judgment, pressure, or “getting in trouble.”
Together, we can work on:
Understanding your thoughts, feelings, and reactions
Finding ways to manage anxiety, stress, or low mood
Building a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself
Exploring coping strategies around substance use or other behaviours
Strengthening your confidence and sense of identity
Navigating friendships, family dynamics, and life changes
There’s no “right” way to do therapy. Some days you might feel like talking, other days you might not - both are okay. This is a space where you can be real, feel heard, and start to make sense of what’s going on inside.
