Arbour Counselling Centre

Arbour Counselling Centre is a group of Masters and PhD-level counselling professionals based in Victoria, BC. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to help individuals, couples, families, teens, and children over 10 grow and work through life's challenges. Our mission is to create a safe space for all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, or religious affiliation, to talk about whatever is of concern to them in their lives.

As counselling professionals, we recognize that we are whole people: mind, body, and spirit. We acknowledge that we are guests on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking people and are committed to the ongoing work of understanding and reconciliation with Indigenous communities. We strive to honour each person's unique and beautiful path, to care for and to love each person we meet as part of the common humanity we share. We are committed to providing a safe space for our clients, meeting them where they are in their journey and supporting them as they take steps toward growth and wellness.
