What we help with
About
People in Surrey often reach out to us after one sudden, overwhelming event: a crash on the road, an injury at work, a break-in, an assault or an unexpected loss. In the days or weeks after, you may replay the moment, startle at loud noises, avoid the place it happened or lie awake on alert. These reactions are common, and talking with someone may help them settle.
You can meet a counsellor for trauma therapy in Surrey at our Panorama office on Highway 10, our Fleetwood office on 84 Avenue or our Newton office on King George Boulevard. If leaving home feels like too much, video from anywhere in BC works too. The free 15-minute consultation is a gentle start, and you do not have to describe what happened to book it.
On the free consultation, by phone or video, you can simply say that something happened; the details can wait. Our intake team then looks for counsellors who help with trauma and fit your language, budget and choice of a Surrey office or video. In a first session of trauma therapy in Surrey, your counsellor asks how sleep, work and home have been since the event, and what helps you feel steady. You never have to tell the story before you are ready.
Later sessions may focus on calming your body when a reminder hits, for example with slow breathing or by naming what you see around you. When you feel ready, you may gently work through the memory so it feels less raw, and question thoughts like 'I should have stopped it.' Whether you meet in person or online, you set the pace.
Acute trauma refers to the difficulties experienced following a singular, overwhelming incident. Most people experience some traumatic event in their lifetime.

FAQs

Yes, you can meet a counsellor who helps with trauma at our Panorama, Fleetwood or Newton office in Surrey. If getting to an office feels hard after what happened, for example after a crash, you can meet by video from anywhere in BC instead. Our intake team can suggest a counsellor at the office that suits you best.
No, you do not have to share details of the event before you feel ready. Many first sessions focus on how you are coping now and on small ways to feel a little steadier. Your counsellor works at your pace and helps you feel safe and grounded before any deeper work on the memory.
You can reach out whenever you feel it would help, whether the event was last week or some time ago. Some people want support right away, while others only notice reactions like nightmares or avoiding certain roads later on. You do not need a diagnosis or a referral to book the free 15-minute consultation.
It may be, since many extended health plans cover Registered Clinical Counsellors and Canadian Certified Counsellors (RCC/CCC). Check your own plan to see what it includes. Our team includes RCCs, and our fees and funding page explains our sliding scale rates for eligible people and other ways to pay.
If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 9-8-8, call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433), or call 911 if you are in danger. Counselling is not an emergency service, so please do not wait for a session when you need help now. Once you feel safer, the free consultation can help you find ongoing support in Surrey or online.
