Counselling For Everybody

Helping you as a person, not a problem

Port Moody Counselling Services

Individual and Group Therapy

Individual counselling will help find the confidence and solutions we need to succeed. Group therapy provides a more affordable solution while offering the support of others who are struggling with the same concerns.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is not just for married people anymore. Because all couples want to feeling valued, respected and connected, regardless of our relationship status. That’s why we offer help taylored to your specific goals.

Parenting Support

Becoming a parent might be the most challenging life event you will ever face. We can help you navigate life choices, cope with your changing identity, and meet the challenges that come with parenting.

Depression Counselling

It’s normal to feel sad or hopeless at times. In fact, it’s a normal reaction to loss or life struggles. But feelings of intense sadness, hopelessness or helplessness that persists for days or weeks isn’t normal.

EMDR For Trauma

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative psychotherapy approach for healing trauma. Extensive research has proven it an effective therapy. Trauma isn’t a life sentence.

Focusing Oriented Therapy

Focusing Oriented Therapy is unique. Process-driven by the therapist and client-centred in essence. Therefore, the therapist and client participate in a collaborative process.

A Note from our Founder

Hi, I’m Kristen Johnston, Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Director of Juniper Counselling, and Adjunct Faculty at Adler University.

Juniper was created because too many people were being asked to think their way out of experiences that were happening in their bodies.

We believe healing happens in safe, supportive relationships — where curiosity replaces judgment, and where your responses are understood as adaptive, not defective.

Our team is here to create spaces where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or rush your healing.

You get to go at your pace. We’ll walk alongside you.

What the First Step Looks Like

Starting therapy can feel intimidating. We make it simple.

  1. Book a free 20‑minute consultation

  2. Talk briefly about what’s been going on

  3. Get matched with a therapist who fits your needs

  4. Decide — with no pressure — if this feels right

You don’t have to commit before you’re ready.
