Counselling for Adults
Embedded Files
Rise and Roam Counselling provides in-person clinical counselling for adults in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, and online counselling services across BC.
Due to limited availability for in-person counselling in Lake Cowichan, priority is given to individuals who may not be able to access counselling effectively online. This may include children and youth, neurodivergent individuals, and those who have previously tried online counselling without success.
Walk-and-talk counselling sessions in Lake Cowichan are available for clients who benefit from movement-based support. Participation requires openness to a hybrid counselling model, allowing sessions to shift between outdoors, in-person, or online formats depending on weather and safety.
Counselling services are grounded in a client-centred, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming approach. Both online and in-person counselling sessions are designed to be collaborative, flexible, and responsive to individual needs. Therapeutic approaches may include movement, art, and sensory regulation strategies to support comfort, emotional regulation, and engagement during sessions.
Relationship matters in the counselling space. Time is intentionally taken to build trust and encourage ongoing feedback throughout the counselling process to support the therapeutic relationship. An initial consultation is recommended as a building block for the therapeutic relationship, as it provides the initial opportunity to get to know each other, explore counselling goals, review available services, and determine whether Rise and Roam Counselling is the right fit.
Areas of Support
Life Transitions
Experiencing a life transition such as entering adulthood, changing careers, relationship changes, welcoming a child, or preparing for retirement? Counselling can help navigate uncertainty, stress, and emotional ups and downs that come with life transitions.
Neurodiversity psychoeducation and affirmation
Looking to learn more about neurodiversity? Counselling can increase self-awareness, build on existing strengths, support emotional and sensory regulation, and increase understanding of neurodiversity grounded in evidence-based information.
Navigating a new diagnosis for yourself or a family member
Did you or a family member recently receive a new diagnosis? Counselling can support processing the new diagnosis, exploring mixed emotions and supporting next steps.
Grief/Loss
Grief and loss can follow many life changes; the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, health-related changes or other significant changes. Counselling can provide a space to honour loss, process thoughts/feelings, and move through grief.
Regulation

Relationships
Are you struggling in relationships, or do you want to work on how you show up in relationships? Support around relationships can increase self-awareness, communication and conflict-resolution skills.
Low mood
Are you feeling stuck in negative thought cycles or just feeling down? Support for low mood can help increase understanding of negative thought patterns and identify strategies that support emotional well-being and mood.
