People in Surrey reach out to us about PTSD after many kinds of events: a crash, an assault, a fire, or something from years ago. You might jump at a car horn, avoid the road where it happened, or replay the moment at night. Some people feel numb with family or on edge at work. These are common reactions to something overwhelming, and you do not need a diagnosis to talk about them.
You can see a PTSD counsellor in Surrey at our King George Hub, our Surrey Central office on Whalley Boulevard, our Panorama office near 152nd and Highway 10, or in Morgan Heights. On days when leaving home feels like too much, video from anywhere in BC is an option. The free 15-minute consultation is a gentle way to begin.
What PTSD therapy in Surrey looks like
The free consultation, by phone or video, lets you ask questions without retelling what happened. Next, our intake team suggests counsellors who fit your needs, language, budget and choice of a Surrey office or video. In a first session of PTSD therapy in Surrey, you and your counsellor talk about life right now: sleep, triggers, what feels safe and what you hope will change. You do not have to describe the trauma until you are ready.
Your counsellor works at your pace and helps you feel steady before any deeper work. Later sessions may include grounding skills for when a memory pulls you back, like naming what you see or pressing your feet into the floor. Over time, some people gently face reminders they have avoided, or make sense of the memory so it feels less raw. You can meet in person in Surrey or by video, whichever feels safer that week.
