Our Story

Coastal Care Counselling began at the University of Victoria, where we met during our Master of Counselling program. We connected through shared values, lived experience, and a focus on research and clinical work with communities impacted by trauma.

With backgrounds in domestic violence support, addictions, and sexualized violence, we found common ground in our commitment to justice-oriented, trauma-informed care. During our training, we saw how effective evidence-based trauma therapy could be—but also how limited the options were for people who needed specialized, accessible care.

That gap became our call to action!

Coastal Care Counselling was created to meet that need. We offer high-quality, affirming trauma therapy from coast to coast—Victoria to Vancouver. Our work is grounded in safety, identity, and choice.
