Teen Counselling & Therapy Victoria: Registered Counsellors Experienced in Adolescent Care
Supportive, Non-Judgmental Counselling for Teens and Young Adults
Teen counselling in Victoria BC gives young people a confidential space to work through the Youtchallenges of adolescence and early adulthood with a counsellor who genuinely understands their world. At Your Path Counselling, our registered counsellors use a strengths-based approach grounded in evidence-based techniques including CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Sessions are available in person at 821 Burdett Ave, Suite 303, Victoria BC and via phone or video for young people anywhere in British Columbia.
Adolescence involves rapid change in identity, relationships, and responsibility. The concerns that bring teens and young adults to counselling are real and deserving of proper support, not dismissal. Our counsellors work at the young person’s pace, in a space that is safe, confidential, and free from judgment.
Many parents wonder whether they should be involved in their teen’s sessions. Our general approach keeps the young person’s therapeutic space confidential while offering check-ins with parents where clinically appropriate and with the young person’s agreement. This matters because teens engage more openly when they trust that what they say stays in the room. We establish the confidentiality arrangement clearly at the start so everyone understands the boundaries. Our FAQs page includes specific guidance for parents on how this works under BC regulations.
Our team includes counsellors with specific training in youth and adolescent development, including Dr. Scott Kouri (PhD, MA, RCC, Co-Founder and Clinical Director), who has a background in child and youth care, has taught at university level, and has published peer-reviewed research on youth counselling practice. His experience working in high schools, universities, and First Nations contexts gives him a breadth of perspective that benefits young clients navigating complex social and personal challenges.
