Welcome to Cote Counselling & Consulting
The word Cote is inspired by the French word côte, meaning “coast” – a quiet nod to our West Coast roots and the values we bring to this work: openness, movement, and the natural rhythm of healing.
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, we respectfully acknowledge that our practice is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to learning, relationship, and accountability.
At Cote Counselling & Consulting, we offer a variety of virtual counselling services tailored to support your individual needs. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating the challenges of adolescence, strengthening your relationship, or managing a mental health disorder, we’re here to help with compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your process.
Our therapists are licensed in British Columbia, Yukon, and Ontario and are trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and many other evidence based modalities. We also welcome international clients seeking care that is professional, trauma-informed, and rooted in connection.
We’re honoured to walk alongside you—coast by coast, step by step.
What We Offer
Individual Counselling
Everyone’s path is unique—and so is your healing journey. Individual counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore personal challenges, patterns, and growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, identity questions, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work collaboratively to support your goals. Our approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based practices.
Trauma Counselling
Trauma can deeply affect your emotional well-being, but recovery is within reach. Our trauma counselling services are designed to help you process and heal from difficult experiences. We utilize specialized techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support nervous system regulation, reprocessing, and long-term healing.
Counselling for Teens
Adolescence can be a turbulent time, filled with emotional, social, and developmental challenges. Our teen counselling services provide a supportive environment where teens can express themselves and work through issues like stress, anxiety, identity exploration, and peer relationships. We use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help teens build insight and confidence in themselves.
Couples Counselling
All relationships face difficulties at times. Whether you’re looking to resolve conflicts, enhance communication, or deepen your connection, our couples counselling services are here to support you both. We draw on modalities like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help couples strengthen their bond, understand each other more deeply, and build lasting emotional intimacy.
Family Counselling
Family relationships can be both a source of support and a place of tension. Our family counselling services help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and navigate complex dynamics. Using a systems lens and trauma-informed practices, we work to understand each person’s perspective and support more connected, compassionate relationships across generations.
Group Therapy (IFS-Informed)
Sometimes the most powerful healing happens in community. Our IFS-informed group therapy offers a space to explore internal dynamics and shared human experiences in a supportive, therapist-guided environment. Whether focused on inner child work, boundaries, or self-leadership, these groups help participants deepen their self-awareness and feel less alone in their healing journey.
