Counselling in Vancouver & Port Moody

AYA is a virtual counselling practice dedicated to creating a space for you to connect with yourself

Our Counselling Services

AYA is a space to explore yourself, the intricate connection between your mind, body and soul. AYA’s goal is to support you in your growth to be the person you know deep down you are. Our counselling aim is to support you in discovering all your parts, and working towards what for you is defined as a meaningful and fulfilling life. Our belief is that we all have the capacity to thrive, and at times we need another human to support us on our way.

Whether you are looking for a place to heal, or a place to discover new parts of yourself AYA welcomes you. Our counsellors hold a master’s degree from a certified university and uphold registration with the BC Associate of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). If you hold third party insurance, most insurance providers cover sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC).

At AYA, we value building genuine, lasting connections, to help you feel strong within. We strive to be more than just counsellors; our approach is authentic, with the goal of meeting you where you’re at. Our understanding is that for you to be real, we need to be real. Our relational approach aims to hit that sweet spot—the familiar and comfortable feeling you get when speaking to a close friend while maintaining the professional boundaries of working with a mental health professional.

We see ourselves as partners in your mental health, here to sit with you, as you navigate life's challenges. We know that each person's path is unique, and want to offer a supportive space where you can freely express yourself and arrive as you are.

If you're thinking about starting counselling, you can set up a free 15-minute chat with a Registered Clinical Counsellor to see if it's the right fit for you.
