CHROMA COUNSELLING

Anyone and everyone can come to counselling. Whether your concerns are big or small, or you aren’t even sure what the problem is, we can help you find clarity and balance. You do not need a referral from a doctor.

The best way to schedule an appointment is to book online here. You can schedule a consultation, in-person and online appointments through the online booking system. You can also e-mail us at info@chromacounselling.ca  Alternatively, you can call us at 604-283-2523 or fill out the contact form here. We offer flexible appointment times in the evenings, late nights, weekends and online.

The office is conveniently located at 470 Granville St, Vancouver BC in Downtown Vancouver.

Yes! We are fully open with daytime, evening and weekend hours. We follow the BCCDC COVID health guidelines. Online video and phone appointments are also available.

Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) is a designation with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). RCCs are a group of professional counsellors that are accountable to the BCACC and adhere to the Code of Ethical Conduct and Standards of Clinical Practice. The Clinical Counsellor has met the rigorous academic training, clinical experience, and supervision requirements that are part of the criteria for Registered Membership. 

That depends on you. Every client is unique, and depending on your concerns, needs and goals, the number and frequency of sessions will vary.  For specific concerns, clients come for 6-10 weekly sessions, while more complex concerns will require a longer period. Most clients will start to feel better after their first session. Taking the first step toward self-improvement and knowing that you will have a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your concerns can be very comforting.
