WHY CREEKSIDE
Why Families in West Vancouver Choose Creekside Counselling
A Private Creekside Studio in West Vancouver
Our studio sits beside Brothers Creek, surrounded by over an acre of protected forest. No sterile waiting room. No background noise. The natural setting makes it easier to open up and that matters when you’re talking about hard things.
Experienced Counsellors for Every Stage of Life
A good counsellor match changes everything. Our team has backgrounds in child development, trauma, relationship therapy, anxiety, and more. When you reach out, we ask questions first so the person you see has the right experience for what you’re facing.
Support That Feels Practical, Warm, and Personal
Therapy at Creekside doesn’t follow a rigid script. We focus on what’s actually useful for your life. Clients tell us they appreciate feeling heard without being lectured, and that sessions feel like real conversations, not clinical assessments.
Confidential, Professional, and Fully Private
Our counsellors follow the strict ethical and confidentiality standards set by the BCACC. Your records, your sessions, and your personal information are handled with care. For clients who want added privacy, our studio’s secluded setting means you’re unlikely to run into neighbours or colleagues
“Creekside Counselling provides warm, professional support for our family. As a parent of a Cedardale Elementary student, I’m grateful for their thoughtful, child-centred approach.”

WHAT WE OFFER
Our Core Counselling Services
Every service is delivered by a registered counsellor matched to your specific needs.
When conflict, stress, or major life changes enter the picture, things can unravel quickly. We help families communicate better, repair strained relationships, and work through challenges together.
A space that’s entirely yours. Work through anxiety, burnout, grief, or life changes with a counsellor who listens without judgment and helps you find a path forward.
For anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, insomnia, and long-standing patterns. Our registered psychotherapists work with clients over time to create lasting change.
Play therapy for younger children. Talk-based support for teens. We build trust first and meet young people exactly where they are, eye rolls and all.
Not just for relationships in crisis. Whether you’re working through conflict or want to strengthen communication, having a skilled counsellor in the room makes a real difference.
A structured, evidence-based approach for trauma and PTSD. If other approaches haven’t moved the needle, EMDR often breaks the cycle for good.

WHERE WE ARE
Our West Vancouver Counselling Studio
In-Person Counselling in a Calm, Private Setting
Our studio is designed to feel like a refuge. Set among over an acre of protected forest beside Brothers Creek, the gentle sound of flowing water and birdsong replace city noise. Clients consistently tell us that the setting itself helps them feel more at ease before they’ve said a word.
Convenient for West Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Vancouver Clients
We’re located at 526 Newdale Place in West Vancouver — easy to reach from Ambleside, Dundarave, Lonsdale, and elsewhere on the North Shore. Free parking is available. We serve clients from Horseshoe Bay, British Properties, Caulfeild, Cypress Park Estates, Sentinel Hill, and surrounding communities.

OUR STORY
About Creekside Counselling
At Creekside Counselling, we believe healing happens through meaningful connection with ourselves, with others, and with our environment. Our team provides thoughtful, evidence-based therapy for individuals, couples, children and families, grounded in compassion and real-world understanding.
As the founder, I bring both clinical leadership and deep local roots on the North Shore. As a parent whose children attended Cedardale Elementary, Sentinel Secondary, and St. Thomas Aquinas, I understand the unique pressures facing families in these communities. Creekside Counselling was intentionally created as a space that reflects that understanding designed to connect people with nature as part of the healing process.
Spending time hiking in Lighthouse Park, Lynn Canyon and Deep Cove, surrounded by tall trees, ferns, and flowing water, has always been grounding for me. That sense of calm and restoration is what inspired the counselling studio itself, built among these natural elements to create a peaceful, safe space where clients can slow down, feel supported, and do meaningful work.
Whether you’re seeking individual support, strengthening a relationship, or navigating family challenges, our team is here to walk alongside you with care, clarity, and respect.
Warmly,
Kathy
