"I can’t express enough how transformative my sessions with Shay have been. From the very first meeting, he created a safe and welcoming environment where I felt comfortable being vulnerable. For years, I carried psychological pain and deep-seated traumas, largely suppressed by societal expectations of masculinity. Shay has guided and supported me in facing some extremely difficult battles in my life, providing invaluable insights and understanding along the way. His ability to listen without judgment and offer thoughtful guidance has been fundamental to my growth. Thanks to his compassionate support, I feel like I am a much stronger and more self-aware person. I highly recommend Shay to anyone looking to embark on their own journey of healing and self-discovery!" - Paul (Quesnel, BC)

Online. Convenient. Comfortable.
Let's face it. Who likes to rush from appointment to appointment, juggling priorities, fighting through traffic, and adding more stress to their life?
This is especially not helpful when doing our psyhological work. We transitioned to online counselling and therapy during the covid pandemic and quickly realized that client's really liked and benefited from virtual services. Current research is also confirming that counselling and therapy can be just as effective online as it is in person for a wide variety of mental health issues. All our services are now provided online, ensuring that you can access the support you need from the comfort and safety of your own space. Whether you're looking for basic counselling, specialized therapy, specific guidance, or just a listening ear, Arise Counselling Services is only a click away.

Need Financial Help?
Arise Counselling Services is committed to providing high-quality, affordable therapy, and wellness services. We dedicate a significant portion of our services as subsidized hours to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent people from accessing the help they need. Our honour system encourages clients to pay industry suggested rates if they have the means, while at the same time allowing others to apply for subsidized rates through a simple application process. We understand that everyone's financial situation is different. Our subsidy program is designed to help those in need on a first come-first serve basis. Here’s how it works:
- Personal Story: Share your financial story with us. We believe in understanding your whole story in order to best support you.
- Income Bracket: Once we receive your request, we will ask for some income verification information to determine your subsidy.
- Subsidies are not guaranteed and limited based on availability and qualifying process.
