What is Family Counselling?

Family counselling is therapy that supports your family as a whole, creating a safe space to communicate with care, ease conflict, and strengthen your relationships.

At Harbour Family Counselling, we focus on calm and connection. Your counsellor guides changes that ease tension, strengthen bonds, and helps everyone feel heard. Our team coordinates to keep care steady and kind, at a pace that suits your family.

Your emotions aren’t something to fix. They’re messages to be heard, and each moment of self-awareness is a step toward feeling better.

Step off the street and into a calm, light-filled space. Our garden office is tucked among trees and plants, designed to feel private and unhurried so you can take a breath, settle in, and focus on what matters.

We’re centrally located in Saanich near Cedar Hill Cross Road, easy to reach from most parts of Greater Victoria. Sessions are available in person in the garden office or online, so you can choose what feels most comfortable week to week.
