Counselling in Port Moody, at 220 Brew Street

In person in Suter Brook Village, or online anywhere in British Columbia.

Helps Counselling sees clients in Port Moody at 220 Brew Street, Suite 301, in Suter Brook Village. Come up to the third floor and check in at reception. Sessions run 50 or 80 minutes, in person here or online anywhere in British Columbia on secure video, and you can move between the two as your circumstances change.

Counselling is a working relationship rather than a set of instructions. You bring what is happening; your counsellor helps you make sense of it and build responses that hold up outside the room. Some people come for a handful of sessions about one specific thing. Others work at something for longer. We will be straight with you about which this looks like rather than booking you in indefinitely.

Appointments are available on weekday evenings, Monday to Friday, and at weekends on Saturday and Sunday. If you are not sure which service fits, or which counsellor, the 20-minute consultation is free and is there for exactly that.

What people come in with

Anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, anger, grief and loss, couples and relationship difficulties, family conflict, children and teenagers, chronic health conditions and complex illness, and emotional crisis. Some people arrive knowing exactly what the problem is called. Most do not, and that is not a reason to wait.

EMDR is available in Port Moody and online with Rebecca Helps, who has completed EMDR Basic Training and is a member of EMDR Canada.

The first appointment

The first session is mostly you talking and your counsellor listening and asking. There is nothing to prepare and no form of words you are supposed to arrive with. By the end of it you should have some sense of what the two of you would work on and roughly how.

If the fit is not right, say so. Research keeps finding that the relationship between client and counsellor predicts the outcome more reliably than the particular method used, so a poor fit is worth naming early rather than pushing through. A good counsellor will help you find someone else, here or elsewhere.

Couple Counselling

Are you struggling to connect with your partner? Do you find yourselves facing a myriad of issues with no clear solutions in sight? You’re not alone, and you’ve come to the right place for support.

Couple therapy is designed to help you and your partner navigate the complexities of your relationship. The most common challenges couples face often stem from frustration with each other’s behaviours. It’s easy to believe that if certain behaviours changed—whether it’s picking up socks, doing the dishes, working less, or communicating more—the problems would be solved. However, behaviour changes alone are often temporary because they don’t address the root cause of the issue.

In our couple therapy sessions, we go beyond surface-level problems to explore the underlying dynamics of your relationship. You and your partner will gain insights into your own and each other’s defence mechanisms and how these patterns contribute to the breakdown in communication and connection.

Our sessions provide a safe space to rebuild trust, improve communication, and foster a deeper understanding of one another. Whether you’re facing ongoing conflict or simply want to strengthen your relationship, our goal is to help you create lasting change and a more fulfilling partnership.
