Welcome. I am really glad you're here.
Reaching out takes courage, and I don't take that lightly.
Rachel Pham
Founder & Registered Clinical Counsellor
My Journey
My path into counselling was shaped by years of working alongside individuals and families in community and healthcare settings.
Being trusted with people’s stories deepened my belief in the importance of care that is compassionate, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience.

Your Questions Answered
-
No. Many people start therapy when they notice something feels off and want support, not because they have a formal diagnosis.
-
Often, yes. RCC coverage is common across BC group insurance plans, including Pacific Blue Cross, Sunlife, Canada Life, and Manulife, though exact coverage depends on your specific plan.
-
Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) and psychotherapists both provide talk therapy and counselling, but aren't licensed to diagnose conditions or prescribe medication. Psychologists hold a doctorate and can also provide diagnostic assessments.
In BC, "counsellor," "therapist," and "psychotherapist" are often used interchangeably and typically refer to an RCC, like Rachel. All three are qualified to provide effective therapy.
