Therapists in Surrey

At The Therapy Space, clients in Surrey can connect with Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying). Because our practice is fully online, you don’t need to worry about commuting across Surrey’s busy intersections, parking near clinics, or rearranging your schedule. Sessions are accessible from your home, office, or even a quiet space between commitments.

Our therapists provide support across several formats of therapy to meet a variety of needs:

• Individuals: One-on-one sessions focusing on issues like anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, stress management, grief, or self-esteem. Individual therapy provides personalized support where you can go at your own pace.
  
• Couples: Relationship and marriage counselling to strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and deepen intimacy. Couples in Surrey often seek therapy to balance busy family life, work demands, and cultural expectations while building stronger partnerships.
  
• Families: Therapy for households navigating parenting challenges, intergenerational tensions, blended family adjustments, or major life transitions. Family therapy helps everyone feel heard and supports healthier communication patterns.
  
• Groups: Group therapy offers a supportive environment to connect with others who share similar concerns. Clients may attend groups focused on anxiety management, trauma recovery, or building coping skills. Many people find that learning from peers adds perspective and reduces isolation.
  

Our therapists also work with specific client groups and communities, including BIPOC clients, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, newcomers, and neurodivergent clients. Living in a diverse city like Surrey, inclusive and culturally responsive care is a priority. By offering different therapy formats and areas of expertise, we make it easier for clients to find a supportive space that matches their needs.

Yes. Our therapists are trained to support a wide range of concerns, which means clients can find a good match for their needs. Some of the most common areas of focus include:

• Anxiety and depression
  
• Trauma counselling and PTSD treatment
  
• Stress and burnout recovery
  
• Relationship and intimacy support
  
• Grief and loss therapy
  
• OCD, body image, and self-esteem
  
• Identity exploration and life transitions
  

Some of our therapists also bring experience in areas particularly relevant to Surrey’s community. For example:

• Postpartum therapy for new parents adjusting to family life.
  
• Family of origin work, which explores how early family dynamics shape current challenges.
  
• Sexuality and intimacy counselling for individuals and couples.
  
• Workplace stress and career transitions, especially for those working in demanding jobs across Surrey’s health, business, and tech sectors.
  

We also emphasize inclusivity. Many Surrey clients look for therapy that reflects their cultural or personal identity. We provide LGBTQIA2S+ affirming therapy, BIPOC-focused therapy, and neurodivergence-informed approaches, so clients feel their lived experiences are respected and supported.

Every therapist at The Therapy Space has a Master’s-level education in counselling or psychotherapy and is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

• Registered Psychotherapists (RPs): Fully licensed and able to practice independently.
  
• Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying): Completing supervised hours and exams. They often provide therapy at lower rates, making sessions more affordable.
  

In addition to these core credentials, many of our therapists pursue further training in specific modalities such as EMDR, somatic therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness-based approaches, narrative therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These certifications allow therapists to specialize in areas like trauma healing, anxiety management, cultural identity support, and relationship growth.

This combination of strong academic training and specialized certifications ensures that clients in Surrey receive care grounded in both clinical expertise and practical therapeutic skills.

Selecting a therapist is one of the most important steps in your mental health journey. When choosing, think about these three factors:

1. Specialization: Does the therapist have experience in the issues that matter to you—such as anxiety, trauma, or relationships? For example, if you are navigating burnout from a demanding job in Surrey’s fast-growing economy, you may want a therapist experienced in workplace stress.
   
2. Approach: Therapists use different modalities. Some may focus on structured approaches like CBT or ACT, while others use integrative methods like somatic therapy or EMDR. Reading about a therapist’s approach can help you decide if their style resonates with you.
   
3. Fit: Beyond qualifications, therapy works best when you feel safe, comfortable, and understood. A strong therapeutic relationship allows for deeper growth and healing.
   

At The Therapy Space, you can browse therapist profiles to learn about their backgrounds, or use our Get Matched tool. By answering a few short questions about your preferences, you’ll be paired with a therapist who suits your goals and budget—removing much of the stress from searching on your own.

We aim to make therapy as accessible as possible. Our fees are structured into three tiers:

• Low Cost Rates: $65 to $100 per session (provided by psychotherapy interns).
  
• Sliding Scale Rates: $110 to $140 per session.
  
• Standard Rates: $145 to $180 per session.
  

This structure ensures that clients can access affordable therapy without compromising quality. Many of our therapists offer sliding scale options, which means fees can be adjusted within a set range to accommodate financial circumstances. For clients seeking more affordable therapy, our psychotherapy interns provide low-cost sessions while still delivering high-quality care under supervision.

Clients pay directly at the time of service and then submit receipts to their insurance provider. Many extended health benefit plans in BC include coverage for Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) and sometimes for Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying).

At The Therapy Space, every receipt includes your therapist’s license number, making it straightforward to file claims. Since insurance plans vary, we encourage clients to check their benefits booklet or call their provider for details.

For those without insurance coverage, therapy remains accessible through low-cost intern sessions and sliding scale rates. This way, clients without benefits can still receive professional support.

Yes. The Therapy Space is fully online. All sessions are delivered via secure video or phone, so whether you live in Newton, Fleetwood, Whalley, Cloverdale, or South Surrey, you can access therapy without leaving home. Online therapy is especially helpful for clients balancing commuting, family, or shift work, as it provides flexibility and reduces time lost to travel.

Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Many Surrey clients appreciate being able to attend sessions from the comfort of home, which often helps them feel more relaxed and open. Online sessions also save time and provide greater consistency, especially for those with demanding schedules.

At The Therapy Space, we use secure platforms that comply with Canadian privacy standards. Our therapists are trained to create a warm and engaging virtual presence, so you feel supported and connected throughout your sessions.

Our therapists draw on a wide range of approaches, depending on client needs. Some of the key modalities include:

• CBT: Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.
  
• ACT: Helps clients accept difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with personal values.
  
• DBT: Teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship management.
  
• IFS: Explores different “parts” of the self, promoting healing and self-compassion.
  
• Narrative Therapy: Encourages clients to reframe unhelpful stories they tell about themselves.
  
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Uses present-moment awareness and meditation to reduce stress.
  
• Somatic Therapy: Focuses on the body’s role in trauma and emotional regulation.
  
• EMDR: Processes traumatic memories using guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation.
  
• EFT: Helps clients understand and transform emotions, often improving relationships.
  
• Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores unconscious patterns shaped by early experiences.
  
• Attachment-Based Therapy: Examines how past relationships influence current connections.
  
• Inner Child Work: Heals unresolved childhood wounds through validation and nurturing.
  

This variety ensures that Surrey clients can work with a therapist whose approach aligns with their personality, needs, and goals.

Your privacy is our priority. The Therapy Space uses Jane, a secure Canadian healthcare platform that complies with PIPEDA (federal privacy law) and PHIPA (Ontario’s health privacy law). All video sessions are encrypted, and notes are stored safely according to CRPO regulations.

This means that what you share in therapy remains private. Information is only shared with your consent, except in rare situations where we are legally required to do so for safety reasons.
