inding the right counsellor can be an important step toward improving your mental health, building stronger relationships, and navigating life’s challenges. At Sana Counselling, we provide compassionate, personalized counselling services for individuals, couples, and families in Shaughnessy and surrounding Vancouver communities.
Our registered clinical counsellors offer in-person counselling in Vancouver, BC, as well as online therapy throughout British Columbia. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, or major life transitions, our team creates a safe space where you can explore your experiences and develop practical tools for healing and growth.
With over 20 years of combined counselling experience, our therapists use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and humanistic methods, to support each client’s needs.
Sana Counselling proudly supports clients from Shaughnessy and nearby Vancouver neighbourhoods, providing accessible mental health care in a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. Our counselling office is easily accessible for those looking for professional therapy close to home.
Residents of Shaughnessy may seek counselling support for many different reasons, from managing everyday stress and anxiety to working through past experiences, improving relationships, or developing a deeper understanding of themselves. Our counsellors take the time to understand your personal story and provide care that aligns with your individual needs.
Being able to walk or bike to your appointment matters more than people expect. It is the difference between going every week and going when you can face the trip. We are in the middle of Kitsilano for that reason.
Transit
Steps from the 4, 7 and 44 bus routes. Most people are at the door within a minute of getting off.
Parking
Street parking on West 4th and the side streets, plus lot parking close by.
On foot
A short walk from Kits Beach, and walkable or bikeable from most of the west side.
We offer online sessions as well, across British Columbia, if coming in is not practical every week.
Schedule a brief phone call with one of our counsellors to explore your goals, challenges, and what kind of support you’re seeking.
You’ll be matched with a counsellor who can best support you on your healing journey.
In your first session, we’ll create a non-judgmental space where you can safely express your feelings, explore your emotions, and begin developing tools for growth and resilience.
We understand how difficult this can be and want to make the process of working together as smooth as possible, so you can focus on what’s important, your mental health.
“Sana Counselling is fantastic. Kristine is my counsellor and she has been so helpful with my journey through starting therapy. From the first phone call I ever had with the staff (who helped me find which therapist was right for me/ fit my schedule), to now over one year into counselling with Kristine, the staff at Sana have been so extremely helpful and kind. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!”

Fifteen minutes, no cost, no intake form. You say what has been going on. We say whether this is the kind of work that will help, and who here is the right person for it.
If it is not a fit, we will tell you that and point you somewhere better.
