Teen Girl Counselling
A safe, supportive space for young women to build confidence, develop coping skills, and feel truly heard.
Teen Girl Counselling
A Safe Space Built Just for You
Are you a young woman who feels weighed down by all the pressures, body image expectations, or relationship drama?
Being a teenage girl today is genuinely hard. Social media, academic pressure, friendship conflicts, and the constant expectation to hold it all together can leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like something is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you — and you don't have to navigate it alone.
One-on-one counselling sessions are designed to give you a private, non-judgemental space to explore your feelings, understand yourself better, and build real coping skills. Sessions are tailored to your personality and interests — combining talk therapy with mindfulness, art, music, movement, and games depending on what works best for you.
The goal isn't to fix you. It's to help you discover the strength, confidence, and clarity that's already within you.
"I am passionate about bringing forth the light in every teen I meet - to inspire feelings of empowerment, resiliency, and connectedness."

Therapeutic Approach
How Sessions Work
Sessions are individualized - there is no cookie cutter formula. The approach adapts to your personality, interests, and what you are working through.
01
Free 15-Minute Consultation
A no-pressure video call to introduce ourselves, talk about what's going on, and see if we're a good fit — no commitment needed.
02
Getting to Know You
The first few sessions are about building trust and understanding your world — your goals, your challenges, and what kind of support feels right for you. We develop a plan together at your pace.
03
Ongoing Individualized Sessions
Sessions blend approaches based on what resonates with you — talk therapy, mindfulness, creative arts, music, movement, or games. You're never forced into anything that doesn't feel right.
04
Real Tools for Real Life
Every session builds practical, usable skills — coping strategies, emotional regulation techniques, boundary-setting, and self-compassion practices you can carry with you long after sessions end.
"You set the pace, and together we work toward meaningful, lasting change."

Questions & Answers
Teen Girl Counselling FAQs
Who is teen girl counselling for?
These sessions are designed for young women between the ages of 13 and 18. Whether your teen is navigating anxiety, friendship issues, body image struggles, academic pressure, or major life changes — or if she simply wants a safe space to talk — counselling can help.
Do parents need to be involved?
In British Columbia and Ontario, there is no specific age at which a child or teen can consent to counselling or other health care services. Instead, consent is based on whether the young person is able to understand the counselling process and make informed decisions about their care. This means that some teens may be able to consent to therapy on their own. In some cases, parent or guardian involvement may still be needed or recommended.
Counselling sessions are confidential and designed to provide a safe, supportive space for young people to speak openly. When appropriate, parent check-ins may be recommended to support communication and progress, while still respecting the young person’s privacy and trust. Limits to confidentiality related to safety or legal obligations are reviewed at the beginning of counselling.
Are sessions available online?
Teen girl counselling is available both in-person at the Victoria, BC office and virtually via a secure video platform, offering flexibility for teens with busy schedules or those who prefer the comfort of their own space; virtual sessions are available to clients located in the province of British Columbia and Ontario at the time of receiving services.
What if my teen is resistant to counselling?
This is very common. The free 15-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to let your teen meet Kiran without any commitment. Sessions are conversational and built around your teen's interests — not a formal sit-and-talk setting. Many teens find they enjoy it once they're there.
Does insurance cover teen counselling?
Many extended health plans cover services from a Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW). Direct billing is available for Sunlife, Greenshield, FNHA, Blue Cross Medavie, CVAP and Telus e-claims. Contact us to confirm coverage under your specific plan.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled session will incur the full session fee, except in cases of emergency. Please contact us as early as possible if you need to reschedule.
