Clinical counselling in New Westminster.

Bryn Harris is the Registered Clinical Counsellor listed at the New Westminster studio. Her profile page shows her RCC credential. It does not list her degrees or therapy approaches, so ask the front desk what she focuses on before you book. We would rather tell you that than describe training her profile does not state.

The studio is on the 2nd floor of the Shops at New West, directly inside New Westminster SkyTrain Station, so there is no outdoor walk from the platform. Bus routes 106, 128, 154 and 155 also stop at the station. Car parking is at the station and on the surrounding streets.

No. Clinical counselling is direct-access, so you can book without a doctor's referral. A small number of extended health plans require one for reimbursement, worth a quick check with your insurer before your first session.

A 50-minute session with a Registered Clinical Counsellor is $175, effective April 1, 2026. Extended health plans such as Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife and Canada Life usually reimburse it after you pay and submit a receipt. ICBC pre-approves counselling for accepted post-MVA claims, and approved 50-minute sessions carry no charge to you. WorkSafeBC approves it case by case.

A Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) holds a master's degree and is a member of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. A psychologist holds a doctoral degree, is regulated by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC), and can perform formal psychological assessment and diagnosis, which is outside an RCC's scope. For most talk-therapy work the two overlap; psychological testing is where you need a psychologist specifically.

Yes, within the standard legal exceptions every regulated counsellor discloses at the start of care: risk of imminent harm to yourself or others, abuse of a minor, and a court subpoena. Outside of those, what is said in the room stays there.

Yes. Counselling and physiotherapy run as separate appointments and separate disciplines, but sharing one studio means your counsellor and physiotherapist can coordinate care when a physical injury and its mental-health impact are tangled together, such as after a motor vehicle accident.

Give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. A session cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed outright, is charged the full session fee, and that charge is not billed to insurance or ICBC.
