Rise and Roam Counselling offers children and youth counselling services in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, using a child-centred, family-led approach. Services are designed to support children and youth in a safe, collaborative, and developmentally appropriate manner.
Counselling sessions are typically provided one-to-one with the child or youth, with family check-ins included when appropriate and aligned with the child or youth’s comfort level. Parents are encouraged to attend the first (few) sessions if this supports the child's comfort. All counselling services are confidential, within the limits of confidentiality. Family check-ins generally focus on overall counselling goals and strategies families can use to best support their child or youth outside of sessions.
Sessions may incorporate play, art, and movement in an age-appropriate and regulation-focused manner to support emotion expression/regulation and engagement. While these approaches are used to enhance therapy, clients must be able to participate in talk-based counselling.
Children and youth counselling services are available online across British Columbia and in person in Lake Cowichan, BC.
